Once the architect develops preliminary plans, Amanda Webster Design, Inc. begins a pivotal journey of investigation, programming, and initial conceptual exploration. Before the architect finalizes project plans, we engage in a series of meetings and collaborative tasks to carefully inventory and catalog the client’s belongings, treasures, needs and lifestyle preferences. Through thoughtful inquiry, we assess how the client will inhabit and interact with each space, ensuring that every detail aligns with their desires and needs. This schematic process is timed intentionally to allow for special details and necessary adjustments to the architectural plans, ensuring seamless integration before entering the next phase. Utilizing our drawing and estimating talents, we sketch concepts and create preliminary budgets for furnishings. We prepare preliminary documents for pre-bidding by the general contractor. To further guide the vision, we develop mood boards and visual concept sheets for each space, establishing the aesthetic direction and tonal palette. At this stage, the conceptual building takes its final shape and transitions from exploratory design into the precision of detailing and production.
