PROJECT SNAPSHOTS
Their attention to detail, ability to anticipate our needs, aesthetic design, and responsiveness have been second-to-none, and working with them has been one of the easiest things I have ever done.

BRINGING YOUR VISION INTO REALITY
At AOME, we pride ourselves on matching our client’s vision with the final execution. With a careful ear, we hear your needs and desires and with the help of the latest technology, we turn that into a guided tour through the home creation process. You’re able to see and experience your new home before we even break ground.
Congratulations!
You are preparing to embark on what should be one of your life’s greatest journeys (when done correctly that is.) But we know that contemplating such a big endeavor can be daunting — we're here to help you start down the right path to the better future you seek.
This brief video introduction touches on topics that will all involve much more in-depth review as you progress through the whole design and building process.

VISUALIZING YOUR NEW HOME
AOME Architects utilize state of the art CAD software to create your design within a life–size 3D virtual environment that we can use to draft plans, elevations and section views of your project, and visit it in a 3D virtual environment using a free viewing app (BIMx) that you can use on your own phone, tablet or on AOME’s headset.
It is imperative for an architect to clearly communicate their vision to the client. AOME builds a virtual model of the design that you visit through a viewing app (BIMx) that you can use on your own phone or tablet or on a headset (AOME’s Apple Vision Pro headset is available for client viewings)—what better way to see your new home than in person?
You will see for yourself what the home will look like, what it will feel like to walk through it or sit at a window or at the counter in the kitchen. And we first place you in your home just a few weeks after we begin the design process!

Construction Process. Contractors who have worked with AOME often share favorable candid contrasts drawn between our approach to the construction phase and that of other architects they work with. This is because of our unusually high–level engagement during the building process. We assist you and your contractor with procurement decisions, evaluating and selecting the most skilled craftsmen, and interpreting the design intent to ensure every detail meets our exacting standards.
An AOME Principal regularly reviews the work under construction with the contractor and clients to assure that the design is being executed faithfully, intimately involved in every aspect and supported by a dedicated team from start to finish, to ensure consistent leadership, fellowship, and the integrity that crafts your bespoke luxury home. / Photo credit: Olya Blase
