Design with Vellum Architects!
An effective design process tells a coherent, engaging Story.
We believe there is a unique narrative behind every project, and crafting a coherent story is at the heart of an effective design. Your story will inform every choice we make through the process of creating a space that reflects who you are.
From the moment a story begins with the idea of a new space, to when you arrive to live there, every step in the journey benefits from a well-crafted narrative.
What is the design process like at Vellum?
A great design, like a good story, is fun, engaging, and democratic. At Vellum, we combine analog and digital tools to create an efficient process that streamlines the transition from an idea to a thoughtfully designed final product.
Through this process, we will discuss hundreds of ideas, both good and bad. Together, we will move from sketches to drawings, computer models, a thorough analyses of site and materials, and the selection of construction contractors.
