Our Renovations & Additions Design Process

Every renovation or addition begins with a clear, collaborative process designed to uncover opportunities and manage complexity.

Existing Home Evaluation

We review the current structure, layout, and how the home functions today. This includes identifying constraints, opportunities, and areas where design improvements can have the greatest impact.

Design Concepts & Planning

Spaces are reimagined to improve function, flow, and comfort. When considering additions, we explore options that feel integrated, not “tacked on”, while leaving room for future flexibility.

Design Development & Documentation

Detailed architectural drawings are prepared, with consultant coordination as required. Plans are developed to support permitting and construction.

Construction Phase Support

During construction, we provide design clarification and collaborate with builders to help preserve the integrity of the architectural intent.

Architectural Renovations Designed for How You Live

Successful renovations begin with understanding how a home is used and how everything is pieced together, not just how it looks. Our renovation work is driven by lifestyle needs and real-world functionality.

Architectural renovations often address:

  • Homes that need to adapt to changing family dynamics
  • Reconfiguring layouts to improve flow, circulation, and usability
  • Creating spaces that support working from home, entertaining, and everyday living
  • Updating homes in a way that feels intentional and cohesive with the original structure

 

By focusing on how spaces function together, we create renovations that enhance comfort and appearance rather than simply changing finishes.

Renovating Homes Across South Florida’s Diverse Neighborhoods

Renovation strategies vary widely across South Florida, and effective design responds to context rather than applying a single formula.

Common renovation scenarios include:

  • Older homes that benefit from layout modernization and improved flow
  • Suburban properties requiring thoughtful expansion to support growing families
  • Waterfront and inland homes with different spatial and environmental priorities
  • Balancing preservation and modernization to respect a home’s character while improving performance

Sustainable & Forward-Thinking Renovation Design

Sustainability is most effective when integrated into design decisions from the beginning. Rather than treating it as an add-on, we view sustainable renovation design as smart, forward-thinking planning.

This may include:

  • Energy-conscious layouts that improve efficiency
  • Enhanced daylighting and ventilation
  • Material selections that support durability and long-term performance
  • Designing for long-term ownership and reduced maintenance needs

 

These strategies help create homes that perform better over time without maintaining ideal temperatures and air flow.
