Full Architectural Services – We can guide you through the entire planning and design process from start to finish. This includes comprehensive design, construction documents/specifications, and construction project administration.

Here are examples of common specific architectural services we offer:

Sustainable Design: We can help you increase the efficiency of resources— such as energy, water, and materials — and reduce the impact of your project on the environment. We’ve been designing “green” buildings before the concept became mainstream and can guide you through sustainable construction practices, non-toxic construction, material and resource specifications, heating and cooling strategies and more. We can integrate sustainable principles and criteria as outlined by the leading certification standards in the nation such as Energy Star Northwest, Earth Advantage, Oregon Department of Energy High Performance Home, and LEED for Homes. We have obtained highest certifications of homes in all of these programs with a notable achievement of designing the first LEED for Homes Platinum certification in Southern Oregon.

Planning Compliance: You can avoid many frustrating setbacks that waste your time and money by planning ahead. We will navigate you through simple and complex planning requirements and building codes such as occupancy and zoning restrictions, solar ordinances, restrictive flood protection zoning ordinances, and historic preservation ordinances in communities like Jacksonville and Ashland.
