Process For Design
- Overview
At this preliminary stage of design, the client is asked general questions such as what type of home they are looking for, how many bedrooms, bathrooms, optional rooms, outdoor living, budget, etc.
2. Vision
When designing a luxury custom home, the vision is an integral part of the design. The client will upload pictures to the project management software showing what style they like, details, interior details, elevations, etc.
3. Floor Plan Schematic
Schiano Development will then draw a floor plan schematic showing the main architectural details such as window sizes, door sizes, ceiling height, and general furniture layout. The floor plan will also be drawn on the lot to show how the house fits on the lot with the setbacks of the property.
4. Conceptual Design
After approval of the floor plan schematic, Schiano Development will then develop the exterior elevations and present it in 2d and 3d. The software they use allows the client to see the house from all angles along with utilizing manufacturer selections such as Benjamin Moore, Certainteed, etc, therefore given the client a feel for how the house will look in reality.
