We pride ourselves on our meticulous and thoughtfully curated design process. Before any design work commences, every project goes through our proven process for evaluating your vision, needs, requirements and aspirations in context with your chosen property — a process we call Requisites & Opportunities Brief. This pre-design consultation takes places with a firm Principal via a 30-60 minute zoom meeting. Following, this early investment in the success of your project may involve several in person meetings and at least one trip to the property. This process allows AOME to learn about your lifestyle, your preferred usage of certain spaces and establish how to cater the space best for your family.
Building upon the Requisites & Opportunities Brief, and other optional predesign services, AOME commences the primary design process using state of the art software in a 3D virtual environment. This initial design is refined and worked on throughout the full process, allowing the client to visualize our plans as they come to life.
As your architect we help you to navigate your way through your build project and mitigate the risks of construction. We guide you through different options to find what is best for your desired results. As we establish a blueprint of your overall vision, AOME will assist you with assembling the best design team including your general contractor, engineers, landscapers, interior designers and any other specialist that your design may require. During our design process, AOME will lead your design team to help ensure your pricing and established goals are met. Simultaneously we will evaluate regulatory impacts to your project, apply for permits, and navigate the jurisdiction review process. In the long run, working with AOME will ensure an experience of a lifetime as we bring your dream home into reality with the highest quality result.

As with the other steps in our process, your project architect principal will be engaged in leading your design team during construction — at a high level of service too rarely seen.

Your principal architect’s years of experience being intimately involved in all aspects of designing countless successful projects, and administering their construction, will help elevate the performance of the entire team, including that of your contractors.

As the project nears completion, AOME will review the work with you and your contractor in great detail to rigorously confirm conformance to design intent and standards with quality checks to ensure that every detail meets our exacting standards. This meticulous attention guarantees that the result reflects the utmost in luxury, sophistication, and craftsmanship.
