We started the project with a walk-through of the home, taking time to listen, observe, and understand the goals for the renovation. That first meeting set the foundation for every decision that followed.

We completed detailed measurements and 3D scans to get a clear understanding of the existing structure. This step gave us the accuracy we needed to plan confidently and design with intention.
