Design Evolution

Great kitchen and bath designs don't just happen, they evolve.

It is relatively simple to fill a room with the necessary equipment and hardware to make it function as a kitchen or bath. 

Customizing a room for both style and function to fit a specific person or family takes a little more time and effort.

When a person is ready for a new kitchen or bath, they have usually been thinking about it for some time. 

Many people collect photos and ideas for years. In most cases, the ideas revolve around the look and feel of the room as well as the function. 

Frequently, people know a lot about what they want, but are not yet fully aware of what's available, of what all the options are, or how it would all fit together.

At the beginning of the design process, we exchange as much information as possible.  

As we discuss ideas, options, and the pros and cons of each, a process of evolution begins. 

While we learn the client's needs, preferences, style, and habits, the client learns about products, layouts, colors, and equipment. 

As we explore possible layouts, with the help of computer generated drawings, the client can visualize just how the room would work and feel. 

Ideas are taken home, "tried on," and given time to "simmer" a bit. 

"Simmer Time" often proves to be a crucial element in achieving excellent design.

The final design solution is usually a mix of ideas from throughout the process.
