The Process
Site Analysis
Respecting the site’s topography is a key starting point in designing a home. This entails a study of solar and wind orientation, captivating views, and prioritizing existing trees and landscape. As we approach the home, it’s important to blend with the landscape while incorporating varied viewpoints into the design. With a thorough site analysis, we can move forward with taking full advantage of what the property has to offer.
Schematic Design
Our schematic designs begin with site and floor plan sketches, showing the initial layout of rooms, their sizes and relationship to one another. An integral part of the floor plan design is to assure the flow throughout the house allows the client to visualize the plan, size, and correct orientation of the space as it captures the key vantage points of the property. After floor plan iterations are reviewed and approved by the client, we then develop the exterior massing to bring the architectural character to life.
Design Development
Working closely with one of our project managers, we will refine the design details and emphasize the distinctive features that make the house custom and unique. By dedicating individual attention to each aspect of the design process, we will ensure the final result is a truly tailored home, designed specifically for its surrounding landscape.
Project Coordination
As construction begins, Austin Studio is available in a variety of ways. This can include selecting the contractor, periodically visiting the site, and recommending and consulting with interior designers to address all aspects of the construction process. Each project has a dedicated project manager to handle questions from the builder and their superintendent during construction. Our active role throughout the construction process ensures a fully coordinated project, resulting in a new home that will be enjoyed for years to come.
