design process

phase 1 DESIGN BRIEF

the goal of DESIGN BRIEF is for client and designer to gather ideas collaboratively. site analysis starts with a sketch of the property including house orientation, windows, doors, and paths by measuring and photographing existing conditions. the site analysis sketch is then transcribed into a 2D CAD existing site condition plan which serves as the foundation for the concept.

phase 2 DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

the goal of DESIGN DEVELOPMENT is to generate a set of conceptual plans that captures the client’s vision. once the existing site condition plan is generated, the concept design will be layered on top. the concept design will consist of the following plans:

• existing site conditions
• demolition
• schematic planting
• layout
• lighting

the designer will conduct a virtual meeting to discuss the concept and gather client feedback.

phase 3 DESIGN RENDERING

the goal of DESIGN RENDERING is to incorporate the client’s feedback and generate the schedule plan set which will be delivered electronically. if required, model water efficient landscape ordinance (MWELO) calculations can be included.
