Building Dreams: A Collaborative Design Journey
Every project begins with a conversation—a chance to explore the client’s vision, goals, and inspirations. This dialogue sets the foundation for a design that reflects both their dreams and practical needs.
Our process starts with the land, analyzing its orientation, views, sunlight, wind patterns, and municipal regulations. This allows us to position the house thoughtfully, ensuring harmony with the environment and compliance with future developments.
We discuss purpose, timelines, and budget, encouraging clients to share their inspirations. These insights guide us to create spaces that are both functional and inspiring. Budget, whether large or small, is not a limitation but a challenge to innovate—smaller budgets, in particular, push us to find truly creative solutions.
Through collaboration and careful planning, we craft spaces that resonate deeply with the people who call them home, blending vision with the character of the land.
Design
Crafting Form and Function
Architecture is an art of balance—planning and designing spaces that blend functionality, aesthetics, and environmental harmony. In the design phase, we focus on exploring possibilities, playing with forms, and tailoring layouts to maximize the potential of your land.
Using Autodesk Revit, we bring your ideas to life in 3D from the start. This immersive approach allows you to visualize your building in detail, fostering a collaborative process as we refine the design.
The journey begins with the layout, where we focus on creating spaces that meet your functional and lifestyle needs. Once we reach about 80% completion, we shift to the exterior shell. This stage is where the character of your home takes shape—we explore materials, windows, doors, building height, roof design, and other key elements.
Throughout the process, we prioritize simplicity and collaboration, ensuring you enjoy every step while we work together to create a home that embodies your vision and aspirations.
Working drawings
Precision in Practice
With the design phase complete, the real work begins. While we pride ourselves on creative, trend-forward designs that stand out, it’s in the technical details where we truly excel. Meticulously crafted working drawings are the backbone of a successful project, and this is where our expertise shines.
Zoran’s time at FSA Arch. in Montreal instilled a deep appreciation for the value of precise plans and well-detailed explanations. Accurate drawings not only protect our reputation but, more importantly, safeguard you as the client—minimizing costly on-site mistakes and ensuring a smooth construction process.
During this phase, the design is carefully refined through detailed sketches, 3D modeling, and precise drawings that bring clarity to every element. Floor plans illustrate all rooms with accurate size and layout, while elevations define massing, materials, and precise window placements. We also prepare preliminary specifications, outlining major materials and their locations.
Our commitment to detail ensures that the final plans are more than just blueprints—they’re a roadmap to realizing your vision with confidence and precision.
Construction Estimates
Transparency and Value
As part of our commitment to a seamless client experience, we provide a comprehensive breakdown of construction costs tailored to your project. From city permits to individual sub-trades, every detail is accounted for, ensuring full transparency. We also customize material and design options to fit your budget and, when needed, recommend trusted general contractors to bring your vision to life.
To keep everything on track, we deliver a detailed project timeline with clear milestones and completion dates, so you can plan with confidence. From feasibility studies to final inspections, our process ensures clarity, precision, and peace of mind at every step.
In addition to budget management, we prioritize quality and sustainability. Our team explores Eco-friendly materials and advanced building technologies that not only enhance your project’s value but also contribute to a greener future. With a focus on delivering exceptional results, we aim to turn your dream into a well-executed reality—on time, on budget, and with enduring value.
