conversation: where to start

How does the design process work with Studio 516? Typically my clients come from referrals, either past clients sharing their projects or contractors and architects who enjoyed the collaboration and send new clients my way.   The best way to understand the reality of working together is from the stories of others.  Check out the many happy client quotes on this website. I look forward to starting our conversation.

cohesive design: what does success look like

Design success is inherently very abstract.  Setting a defining principal for your project – the “parti” – is at the core of my approach for creating a cohesive design. This can be used as a bar against which to judge choices and decisions.  Abstract enough to be called a vision while bringing it into reality with drawings and details.

collaboration: team 516

Collaboration and communication are the true drivers of the success of any project.  The sooner you can have everyone on the same page, the better the process will flow, saving time and money while producing the best product. The lead role shifts – in an ego-free collaboration-  each person on the team contributes their knowledge to the discussion and brings their specific skill set to the table.

There are thousands of decisions that go into a comprehensive home design and making the choices is just the beginning.
