From the first spark of inspiration to the final reveal, we craft a design story that’s uniquely yours. Every phase of our process is guided by intention, ensuring your space unfolds with meaning, beauty, and continuity.

01. Concept
This is where the creative vision takes shape. We begin by exploring the story, mood, and guest experience that will guide the entire project. We develop early ideas for form, materiality, color, lighting, and spatial flow as we define the character and emotional tone of the space. Inspiration imagery, sketches, and conceptual palettes illustrate the narrative and set a clear direction. This phase establishes the foundation of the design story, ensuring that every decision moving forward remains connected to the original vision.

02. Schematic Design
We lead this phase by shaping the initial concept into a clear creative direction that anchors the entire project. We establish space planning, preliminary architectural features, and the overall mood and atmosphere while staying grounded in the original design story. Early sketches, diagrams, and mood boards illustrate how the concept will function and feel. We collaborate with architects, engineers, and consultants to confirm feasibility and align the vision with project goals. This phase sets the narrative, defines the character of the space, and prepares the groundwork for design development.

03. Design Development
We guide this phase by refining the concept into a fully defined vision while staying true to the original design story. We select finishes, fixtures, lighting, materials, and architectural details as we shape the flow and functionality of each space. Renderings, drawings, and material palettes come together to illustrate how the design will look and perform. We collaborate with architects, engineers, and consultants to align the concept with technical and operational needs. This phase creates a clear and cohesive direction that carries the design story forward and sets the foundation for construction documentation.

04. Construction Documentation
We lead this phase by turning the approved design into a complete set of technical drawings and specifications. We develop detailed plans, elevations, millwork drawings, and material requirements that show exactly how the space will be built. We coordinate with architects, engineers, and specialty trades to align all systems with the design intent. The result is a clear, coordinated package that supports an accurate and confident construction process.

05. FF&E Specification Writing
We bring clarity and intention to the FF&E process by turning every furniture, lighting, and accessory selection into a fully documented specification that can be confidently purchased and executed. We evaluate performance, code requirements, durability, and aesthetics to ensure each piece supports the guest experience. Custom items are developed with detailed drawings, finish selections, and require shop drawing and finish approvals by our team. The result is a complete FF&E package that guides procurement and keeps the project aligned to the design vision.

06. Construction Administration
We guide this phase by ensuring the design is executed as intended. We review submittals, shop drawings, and material samples for accuracy, and we clarify details as the project moves from drawings to reality. We collaborate with contractors, fabricators, and consultants to resolve issues quickly and maintain momentum. The goal is a smooth build process supported by clear communication, thoughtful problem solving, and consistent protection of the design vision.
