Architectural Design, Denver, CO

Concepts developed through hand sketches & transformed into precise, measured, buildable plans. We design homes and commercial buildings from the first idea to the finished drawing set, and the same team builds what we draw.

What’s included

Start your project →

Every design moves the same way: from what’s really on site, to ideas on paper, to a drawing set a crew can build from.

MarkServiceScope
SRVSite visit & measuringWe walk the site or building with you and measure everything, so the design starts from what’s really there.
CONConcept sketchesIdeas worked out by hand first: which rooms sit together, where the light comes from and how you move through the space.
3D3D modelsEvery concept is modeled in 3D, so you can turn it, compare materials and see the light before anything is built.
PLNFloor plansPrecise, measured plans of every level, with walls, doors, windows and dimensions.
ELVElevations & sectionsEvery side of the building, and cuts through it, with heights and materials noted.
DETDetails & schedulesLarger-scale details, plus door, window and finish schedules for the build.
BLDBuilt by the same teamThe team that draws your plans builds them. See Building.
AD-2Drawing SetSheet 2 of 7

What you receive

Hand sketches become a measured drawing set: plans, elevations, sections and details, so what gets built is exactly what was drawn.

AD-3Design NotesSheet 3 of 7

From sketch to buildable plan

A sketch captures the idea. A measured plan makes sure it can be built.

Design notesArchitecture
  1. Sketch first

    Hand sketches are quick to change, so ideas get tried and compared before anything is fixed.

  2. Measure everything

    Plans are drawn from real site measurements, not guesses, so the design fits the real building.

  3. See it in 3D

    The model shows light, views and materials, so decisions get made on screen instead of on site.

  4. Drawn to be built

    The team that draws the plans builds them, so the details in the drawings are the details on site.

AD-5How We WorkSheet 5 of 7

How a design comes together

  1. Free consultation

    We walk the space with you, listen to what you want and measure everything. The consultation costs nothing.

  2. Measure & document

    The site or the existing building is measured and photographed, so the design starts from real dimensions instead of guesses.

  3. Concept & 3D

    Sketches become a 3D model you can turn, compare materials in and see the light in, before anything is built.

  4. Drawings & proposal

    A clear drawing set and a written, line-by-line proposal with scope, schedule and payment milestones. Any change is agreed in writing first.

  5. Built by the same team

    The team that drew it builds it, ending with a final walkthrough together and a 1-year workmanship warranty on our installation.

AD-6QuestionsSheet 6 of 7

Common questions

Q.01

What does architectural design include?

A site visit and measurements, concept sketches, a 3D model and a measured drawing set: floor plans, elevations, sections, details and schedules.

Q.02

Can I see the design before it’s built?

Yes. Every concept is modeled in 3D, so you can turn it, compare materials and see the light before anything is built.

Q.03

Can you design it and then build it?

Yes. The same team that draws your plans builds them, so the design you approve is the one that gets built, and questions on site are answered by the people who drew it.

Q.04

Do you handle permits, plumbing and electrical?

Plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed tradespeople. We’ll tell you during the consultation whether your project needs a permit, and your proposal shows how permits are handled.

Q.05

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. We walk the space with you, listen to what you want and measure everything, and the consultation costs nothing.
