Virtual Interior Architecture & Design Services

The first step is a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to better understand your project, where you’re located, and what kind of help you need. In this conversation, and based on the scope of your project, we will discuss the deliverables and the likely amount of professional time needed to complete it. If together we determine we are the right fit, we’ll follow-up within five business days with a Virtual Interior Architecture & Sesign Services proposal for your review along with some homework and easy-to-follow instructions. Design fee will be due in full prior to the start of any design work.

Depending on the scope of the project, we will give you easy-to-understand instructions on how to provide the most accurate information needed to turn your ideas/project into a 3D model/floor plan. This will likely include photos of the area, a sketch with field measurements and/or blueprints/architectural plans, and probably some ideas that inspire you if you have them.

Before the initial virtual design consultation, and based on the materials provided, we will produce a draft floor plan and send it back to you with highlights of any additional information or clarification needed. Typically, the turnaround time on this draft plan should be fewer than five business days unless it is an entire home or unusually complicated in design.

This is where the fun begins! We will arrange a time with you to conduct a two-hour virtual design consultation via Zoom where we share our screen and your 3D model and let you determine how you’d like to focus the time. You’ll definitely want to bring your list of questions. Many options are possible -- you call the shots. Examples might include:

If you have architectural plans and you’re simply wanting to get a better “view” of how it will look and feel:

• We can walk through the space(s) in 3D, all the while consulting on your “to do” list of questions you’d like to ask an expert. We can even explore changing things around if you have options you’re considering.

If you’re just starting to reimagine a better use of your existing space (even just a room or two):

• We can look at your current “As Built” space in 3D -- from the interior & exterior -- and discuss your vision or concerns, exploring things like removing walls or moving windows, maybe dropping in some furniture pieces or cabinets while we work.   It’s a great way to test out several ideas or layouts before hiring a contractor, or incurring the expense of an architect or engineer.*

If you just want to explore new space plans or furniture layouts, maybe rug sizes or art pieces:

• All of these things are possible (and better) by designing and collaborating in real time in 3D with a professional. If you’ve ever tried to return a rug you ordered online, you know what I mean. Avoid the hassle.

After our virtual design consultation, we will send you a PDF packet that includes your two-dimensional dimensioned floor plan along with screen shots of any 3-D scenes you requested as we were viewing your model, and you’ll be on your way to meet with a contractor (or order new furniture!) feeling far more certain and excited than you were before!

When we’re done, if you’d like to engage us for any future work, our door is always open and our light is always on. Feel free to explore our website for our full range of interior architecture and design services ranging from entire house remodels and new builds to kitchen/bath/room design concepts (with detailed layouts of cabinetry, appliances, fixtures and other design elements) to smaller projects like built-ins, fireplaces, and staircases. We can even help with finish materials from a distance!
