Our Process
A deliberate, story-led path from first hello to the home that holds your family for generations.
From Concept to Move-In
How We Tell Your Story
Every Legacy Home™ is shaped by its people and its place. These are the first steps of a thoughtful, architect-led journey.
Tell Us About Your Project
This is the beginning, a simple, no-pressure invitation to start the conversation about your custom home design or renovation. Please call, email, or complete our contact form to share your project goals, including your property’s location and how we can best serve you. We will follow up with a phone call or email to schedule your consultation.
Schedule a Consultation
Once you have shared some initial information, we will invite you to a complimentary 45-minute Google Meet consultation. This is an important step to see if we are the right fit for one another. We will talk through your site, your family’s needs, your timeline, and your budget, and answer any questions about what it is like to work with an architect, all in a relaxed, no-obligation conversation.
Review the Agreement
If our consultation confirms that we are the right team to tell your architectural story, we will prepare a Letter of Agreement for The Story Session™ outlining our scope, process, and fixed design fee. The fee varies for each project based upon project scope and complexity, but starts at $2,500.
Schedule Your On-Site Story Session™
This is where the design truly begins. Because every Legacy Home™ is shaped by its setting, our first official step is a deep site analysis, our signature service we call The Story Session™. We will meet you on your property to walk the land, study its light, views, and character, and talk through your goals. This immersive, architect-led experience forms the foundation of your custom home design.
Begin Your Legacy Home™ Journey
With the foundational insights from our Story Session™, the official journey of designing your custom Legacy Home™ officially begins. We then move into our full architectural design process with a new Letter of Agreement, whether for new construction, a significant addition, or a major interior renovation. This is where we translate your family’s unique story into a home that is timeless, beautiful, and entirely your own.
