ABOUT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN + INTERIORS
IMG_5358-.JPG

“ADI Design Studio” provides a full range of residential and light commercial architectural services. Our approach as an architectural designer is based on expertise in the Design Build industry. Previously a Design Build General Construction company, we bring expertise in all aspects of designing and executing a major renovation, a single family or multifamily residence and light commercial buildings from start to finish. Our understanding of the process to successfully navigate the complexity of architectural design from a builder’s standpoint is key to the success of our projects.


We also offer interior design services in support of our architectural projects including furnishing and fixture story boards and 3-dimensional schematic design, casework and cabinetry design, color pallet and material selections, sourcing and delivery of interior materials and furnishings.

DESIGN

Our governing design aesthetic allows for equal appreciation of form and function. Our mission is to study and satisfy both the functional and formal criteria presented by each unique project and homeowners’ aesthetics. Along with our clients’ criteria, we endeavor to create timeless contemporary works of architecture and interior design that represents its occupants in a way that transcends. Every detail is thoroughly considered and given a path to execution.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Collaboration is the  key component. All projects require clients to dream of their ideal home and commission the work, the architectural designer to design the home, and provide documents to which the contractor can budget and build them. Another component of successful management calls for the establishment of appropriate expectations. Expectations consisting of time, quality, and budget.

PROCESS

Experience is an important component of successful management. Taken together collaboration, expectations and process form a management blueprint, but it is experience that provides for successful project outcomes. Architectural Design and Interiors has the knowledge and management experience necessary to create and oversee projects not only from a design perspective but from the perspective of a builder with extensive background in the industry.
