Each home design starts as a concept based on a several-hour interview with the architect in which the client and architect discuss everything from the 'feeling' of the home to the specific details the family wants to have. From these notes, sketches evolve that eventually become thoroughly documented drawings so that the builder has a 'blueprint' from which to build.
