Our Process

Your Land’s Best Use

A common first step is having us evaluate a site before purchase. We assess natural features, local guidelines, and feasibility to give you a clear picture of the project’s potential. Our first conversation will cover:

Aligning the site with your vision
Maximizing site potential with minimal environmental impact
Understanding financial and structural implications
Assembling the right team to realize your vision

Architecture & Interior Design: Outline of Services

We guide key decisions throughout the design and construction process. With strong experience in budgeting, building materials, mechanical systems, sustainable design, interiors, and construction admin, we support every aspect of a successful project.

The four phases of our services include:

Phase 1: Schematic Design (SD) 25%
Phase 2: Design Development (DD) 30%
Phase 3: Construction Documents (CD) 30%
Phase 4: Construction Administration (CA) 15%

Schematic Design

With your project goals defined, we begin the design phase using sketches, drawings, and inspiration imagery. Every aspect of the site is thoughtfully considered such as:

Land contours, climate, views, and sustainability
Architectural style, structure, and construction
Lighting, A/V, acoustics, and feng shui
Security and smart home systems
Seamless indoor-outdoor living integration

Design Development

In this phase, your design comes to life. We guide you through refining room layouts, solar orientation, engineering systems, energy efficiency, and material choices. We also begin reviews with local planning and design boards. By the end, you’ll have a clear path to construction, including a flushed out budget and schedule.

To spark creativity, we use 3D studies, and VR goggles, allowing you to explore your future home in 360° views.

Construction Documents

As construction nears, we produce detailed drawings and documents to guide every aspect of the build—ensuring your vision is realized with precision and clarity. Our documents are fully coordinated with all consultants (contracting, landscape, structural, civil, and MEP) and submitted for permits. Typical construction documents include:

Site, floor, roof, and elevation plans
3D views, ceiling and lighting plans
Large-scale details for custom elements
Interior finish, plumbing, appliance, and lighting schedules

Interiors & Custom Furnishings

Alongside architecture and construction, we craft custom interiors that reflect your style whether mountain modern or casual coastal.

Each room is thoughtfully layered with curated finishes, furnishings, and features. Using photo-realistic imagery, you'll preview artwork, architectural details, and global design pieces, all seamlessly integrated into a space that’s uniquely yours.

Construction Administration

Our involvement continues beyond construction documents—we stay engaged to ensure your vision is built as designed.

Mosaic acts as an extension of your construction team, providing support, answering questions, attending meetings, and coordinating with consultants. We’re on-site as needed to guide the process and maintain design integrity. When challenges arise, our hands-on approach ensures a smooth experience from start to finish.
