Our Design Process: White Studies

B&W’s or “White Studies” provide an opportunity to show the evolution of a concept, from a 3-dimensional standpoint. By creating these rough designs in the computer, we are able to provide multiple perspectives while positioning ourselves to move quickly into the next phase of design, which is typically the “Color Rough” phase. These “White Studies”…

Our Design Process: Floor Plans

Early in the design process, we make a point of exploring functional and aesthetic floor plan concepts to ensure we are taking into account all of the project criteria, with an eye on how this might evolve 3-dimensionally. This step makes a point of organizing all of the functional needs, while exploring intangible criteria (ie:…

Our Design Process: B&W Sketches

Our B&W Sketches can take many forms; from loose doodles, conceptual gestures, or tighter architectural studies. Though sketches are limited in translating beyond this initial phase, they are excellent at quickly communicating an idea or high-level idea. Though some never leave our sketchpad, our B&W or “Thumbnail” Sketches are frequently the first stop in our design…
