Caffaratti Residence

Each residential master plan provides an overall design that serves to organize the property with elements of the clients wish list.  This approach allows the client and the designer to flesh out exactly what elements they are looking for and what style they like.  This approach also begins to delineate prioritization of elements and construction phasing.

Initial concepts are generated, and during the first design meeting, these concepts are reviewed, discussed, and a clearer picture begins to form about the wants, needs and priorities of the client.  Inspirational images are used to generate ideas and express general desires both aesthetic and functional.

We then distill the likes and dislikes into a single concept and begin to refine the drawing into a master plan that reflects what the dream home would look like.  This plan is rendered, and during the final meeting the client has one more chance to make any tweeks to the design.  From there, the client can choose to move forward with construction documents, or provide the plan to a landscape contractor for installation.  Construction drawings provide the tightest control over what exactly is built, what finishes are used, and what plant material is selected.
