planning & interiors
Our construction plans is organized floor by floor, room by room and elements are designed based on the client’s needs. We believe in function and sustainability for all program elements, such as stairs, doors, windows, and fixtures. The plans are often supplemented with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plans.
Whether you intend to build business premises, a residence, or a complex, local agencies require a site plan as part of the zoning compliance process. Our site plans comply with local requirements regarding use, egress, and occupancy. We can also provide a zoning compliance analysis for your needs. If necessary, we can provide 3-dimensional hand-drawn sketches, computer renderings, or physical models. You can either execute the construction process with your own contractors, or, we can provide contract administration during the construction process.
Mindfully designed interiors will maximize livable space and enhance your quality of life. Light, color and furnishings play their part in forming a balanced, harmonious, composition. We create interior environments for residential homes, lobbies, restaurants, office, and retail spaces. We also offer a “staging” service – decorating a home to facilitate sales and higher selling prices.
