Design diagnosis
Place-making begins with understanding your daily life, what works and what doesn't, and how each person aspires to live. This is where our conversation begins. We look for where this works well in your home. Then I appraise the house, its potential for modification, and how it helps or hampers the way you want to live.
The diagnosis I give is a synthesis of your needs, the place, and how to move towards your ideals. In our initial consultation I can get a feel for what needs to change and how. We meet again. I bring sketches: the creative and practical responses to our shared exploration. You start to see what kinds of options are achievable.
You may find that new ideas arise. The next step in the process is incorporating this feedback into more developed sketches. At this stage the options become more real. Your reactions and responses are essential in the design process. We can then see which options to focus on.
Sometimes the design emerges quickly, sometimes more options need to be explored. Keep in mind that this process takes you from not being sure about what you want, to having a clear direction of what to do next.
Depending on wether you have existing building plans, surveys or real estate flyers, the cost of this process usually ranges between $750-$2,000. Proximity, location, scale and complexity may also need consideration.
