Elevation Study: Builder Box to Provençal Farmhouse
We have another exterior remodel on the boards! This one is looking at transforming a builder box on the hill into a Provençal Farmhouse. As this house is located on a significant ridgeline it is important to look at the use of appropriate natural colors and materials (we have some experience with this… check out…
Elevation Study: Traditional Tudor for a Modern Family
We have a new project on the boards! A 1920’s Tudor that needs a little bit of updating. Now, because it’s located in a Historic Overlay Zone, there are some limitations to what we can do to the exterior, i.e. the brick must remain as is. In order to present the options for the exterior…
May we find you a Bargain
Sometimes the price isn’t always right… So what do we do? Well first we need to look at scope, can we shrink the project? This will always make the largest dent in reducing the construction budget. Next, we look at the finishes. For one of our current projects, we tasked our Interior Designer Hillary Hayne…

Here@Hayne nothing goes to waste… What do you do with all that paper??
We end up with a lot of paper trash. Whether it’s printing check sets for in-office review or printing submittal sets for the various jurisdictions we work with (can you believe that sometimes we need to print out as many as 7 full-size drawing packages and 11 reduced copies!!) we end up with a lot…

What do you bring when meeting with all your consultant teams in one day, well the essentials of course: My laptop… becuase how else are your…
Best Practices: AutoCAD Drawing Templates
Efficiency if key for a small firm and drawing is what we do, so we should be good at it. Because of that, it’s important to have functional drawing templates to maintain office standards. It shouldn’t matter if the project manager is drawing it or the summer intern; the output should meet the quality and…
REVIT Best Practices: Wall Schedules with Type Images
In the olden days (HAHA)… Our Wall Types were displayed as plan detail drawings identifying the material composition and wall thickness. Then I read a little blog post “Graphic Standards – Part 2” by Bob Borson on Life of an Architect. Similar concept, but much more informative with a full assembly description moving from exterior…
