Before floor plans or finishes, there is clarity.
Our Predesign Questionnaire Service is a guided discovery process that helps uncover how you truly live and what your space needs to support. This step is often skipped, yet it shapes every design decision that follows. It can be used even if you are buying a home, helping you understand your needs before making a purchase. You don’t have to start designing.
An architect-led predesign process translates your needs, habits, and goals into a clear design direction. It goes deeper than a typical questionnaire, surfacing insights you may not yet know how to articulate.
· A tailored predesign questionnaire
· Review and analysis by a licensed architect
· A concise Design Direction Brief
· Key planning priorities and spatial guidance
· Industry standard square footage ranges by room type (approximate only, helps with budgeting; no liability guarantee)
This brief can guide future design work with another professional or us.
· Homeowners planning a build or renovation
· Clients are unsure where to start
· Couples or partners making decisions together (helps preserve individuality, reduces conflict, and may reveal new insights about each other)
· Anyone who knows something feels off but cannot explain why
· Buyers planning to purchase a home who want clarity before committing
Layout decisions are difficult and expensive to change. This process ensures spaces are sized and arranged intentionally before design begins, based on real needs rather than assumptions.
Complete the questionnaire individually or together

You may complete the questionnaire on your own or directly with the architect if it feels overwhelming. Many clients find this process clarifying and a helpful way to see if the architect is the right fit.
The result is confidence, alignment, and a more straightforward path forward.
