Interior Installations & Design Detailing
Custom components, precise assemblies, integrated finish work
We design and deliver interior elements that give a project its identity. Installations are developed as part of the architecture, not as separate decoration. Materials, structure, lighting, and hardware are coordinated so the result feels unified, durable, and exact.
Our work includes custom millwork, stair assemblies, interior screens, built-in seating, and specialty fixtures designed for fabrication and long-term performance.
Architectural Detailing and Custom Millwork Design
Kitchens, Libraries, and Stair Systems as Integrated Architecture
Our interior detailing work extends the architecture through proportion, function, and material clarity. From kitchens and vanities to libraries, display walls, and stair systems, every component is treated as part of the building. Dimensions, service access, and hardware selection are set early, ensuring function and longevity.
Material and Fabrication Strategy in Interior Architecture
Master Planning & Speculative Development
Conceptual planning for residential and commercial projects
We shape land into clear, workable plans. The goal is straightforward sites, legible circulation, and buildings that feel coherent when built in sequence. Our work pairs physical analysis with market awareness, so plans are not only attractive on paper, they are feasible to deliver.
​
We begin with the ground. Slope, water, access, soil, vegetation, and existing utilities inform street layouts, building zones, and open space. From there, we organize parcels, set development standards, and define a framework that can hold change without losing clarity.
Process
-
Assessment, gather survey, title, utilities, easements, and environmental data.
-
Framework, establish street hierarchy, blocks, parcels, open space, and edges.
-
Testing, run capacity and yield scenarios, refine mix, parking, and access.
-
Guidelines, set building envelopes, frontage rules, heights, and material direction.
-
Phasing, align infrastructure, vertical buildout, and cash flow with realistic timelines.
Scope
Mockups, Tolerances, and Finish Testing
Materials are chosen for texture, light, and wear. Wood, steel, glass, and stone are used in balanced contrast. Mockups are built to test profiles and finishes.
Tolerances are coordinated with framing and mechanical systems to prevent conflict and reduce rework. This level of precision ensures that interior installations perform as well as they appear.
Shop Drawings, Field Coordination, and Quality Control
Each detail is verified against architectural documents. Field measurements, blocking, and clearances are confirmed before fabrication. Finish schedules align across surfaces so color, sheen, and texture remain consistent.
Hardware is scaled to use, with connections that are either cleanly expressed or fully concealed. Edges, reveals, and intersections are resolved to read as part of the whole.
Master plans for new neighborhoods, small commercial districts, adaptive reuse campuses, and infill blocks. Services include site testing, capacity studies, yield analysis, phasing, and design guidelines. We prepare documents suitable for early financing, partner discussions, and municipal review.
Site Strategy
Circulation is simple and legible. Primary streets are direct and connected. Secondary lanes handle service and access without disrupting frontage. Blocks are sized for efficient structures and daylight. Open spaces are purposeful, not leftover. Stormwater, planting, and shade are coordinated with the public realm.
Performance, Maintenance, and Lifecycle
Finishes are specified for abrasion, moisture, and UV resistance. Hinges, slides, and lifts are rated for use cycles and access. Maintenance instructions and replacement resources are included, giving owners and facilities teams long-term clarity. The aim is interiors that remain solid and well-made through years of use.
Deliverables
Measured drawings, connection details, finish and hardware schedules, lighting integration diagrams, and coordinated shop drawing reviews. When needed, mockups and material samples are provided to verify proportion, color, and assembly.
Featured Projects
Feasibility and Yield
We test multiple development mixes to understand cost, absorption, and constructability. Parking counts, building efficiency, and typical spans are verified with structural and civil input. The resulting plan reflects real constraints, not abstract diagrams.
Design Guidelines
We write guidelines that protect the intent while giving room for design. Building envelopes and frontage types are clear. Entries, porches, courts, and service zones are defined. Material palettes set tone without prescribing taste. The aim is a coherent place with varied buildings that work well together.
Infrastructure and Phasing
Streets, utilities, and water management are planned with delivery in mind. Early phases create value and set character. Later phases build on established patterns. Construction access, staging, and protection measures are considered so the site can evolve without damaging what is already built.
Entitlements and Documentation
We prepare submittals for preliminary review, zoning, and platting. Drawings are coordinated with civil, landscape, and traffic consultants. We lead meetings with municipalities, prepare responses, and update documents until approvals are secured.
Deliverables
Concept plans, capacity and yield summaries, phasing diagrams, guideline booklets, and presentation boards for partners and public meetings. Digital models and illustrative plans support marketing, sales, and lender packages.
