We’re offering the first step in your journey. No cost, just creativity.
We believe architecture should begin with clarity, creativity, and connection. That’s why we’re offering our Schematic Design phase completely free to those who reach out during this limited-time promotion in Rivas Community. It’s our way of inviting you into the process, exploring ideas, testing spatial fit, and shaping a vision that reflects your goals.
Here’s how we bring ideas to life: a 4-stage workflow that ensures every project moves from vision to execution with precision and impact:
Schematic Design (SD)
This is where ideas begin to breathe.
Client Discovery: We listen deeply, understanding your aspirations, constraints, and context.
Site & Program Analysis: We study the land, its light, its limits, and its latent potential.
Conceptual Sketches & Massing: Initial forms, spatial relationships, and design narratives emerge.
Schematic Testfits: We validate spatial concepts against real-world constraints and programmatic needs.
Moodboards & Visual Language: We explore materials, textures, and atmospheres that align with the brand and lifestyle.
Goal: Establish a compelling design direction that resonates emotionally and strategically.
2. Design Development (DD)
From concept to clarity.
Detailed Plans & Elevations: We refine spatial layouts, circulation, and proportions.
Material & Finish Selection: We curate tactile and visual elements that elevate the experience.
Structural & MEP Coordination: Collaborating with engineers to ensure integrity and performance.
3D Visualizations & Renderings: Immersive storytelling tools to align stakeholders and spark excitement.
Cost Estimates: Ensuring design ambition remains grounded in budget realities.
Goal: Deliver a fully resolved design that’s ready for technical translation.
3. Construction Drawings (CD)
Design becomes instruction.
Comprehensive Drawing Set: Architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and specialty systems.
Specifications & Schedules: Materials, finishes, fixtures, and performance criteria.
Permit Coordination: Navigating local regulations and submission requirements.
Bid Support: Assisting clients in contractor selection and cost negotiation.
Goal: Provide builders with a clear, coordinated roadmap for execution.
4. Project Administration (PA)
We stay engaged until the last detail is delivered.
Site Visits & Progress Reviews: Ensuring fidelity to design intent and quality standards.
RFI & Submittal Responses: Timely clarifications and approvals to keep momentum.
Change Management: Navigating adjustments with transparency and control.
EPCM Contracts Development: Structuring Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management agreements to align stakeholders and streamline delivery.
Punch Lists & Closeout: Final refinements and documentation for a smooth handover.
Goal: Safeguard the vision and client’s investment through construction and deliver a space that exceeds expectations.
