Asheville Architectural Design Services

When we go through the process of creating a new home or community, we carefully reevaluate and reinterpret the way you live. It is an intimate design process. This involves four essential phases:

  • Creating a project outline
  • Schematic design and land development
  • Design development
  • Construction drawings and material selections

Using sophisticated computer technology, we provide you with a 3D computer model of the site and the structure to aid in the visualization of our design.

Construction Services

During construction, we provide regular site visits on a biweekly basis or as needed.

Consultations for Sustainable and Green design, Feng Shui, and Sacred Geometry

FAQ

What do we need to start?

We need site information, site survey, and an outline of your needs and dreams.

How will we work together?

  • We hold an initial meeting to introduce ourselves and the work we do.
  • When we are selected as your architect, we sign a letter of agreement.
  • The design process begins with a visit to your site.
  • We create and present several hand sketches, and discuss options.
  • Next, we begin to capture the selected ideas on the computer. Our 3D software helps to visualize the design.
  • With your input, we select the builder and involve other designers at an early stage.
  • We get a preliminary cost estimate when we are halfway through the design process.
  • At the end of the design stage we involve a structural engineer to provide a foundation plan and structural details.

How long will it take?

To design and provide construction drawings for a mid-sized custom home usually takes 3 to 6 months.
