I am sharing the estimated for the renovation design of a 2,973-square-foot condominium located at 20201 East Country Club Drive.
The project scope involves a comprehensive redesign of the entire apartment to enhance both functionality and aesthetics.
This includes reimagining the layout to maximize space efficiency while maintaining a sophisticated and cohesive design throughout.
Our approach will feature a carefully curated selection of premium materials for all interior spaces, ensuring a high-quality finish that aligns with the project’s design vision.
We will oversee and guide the project through all essential design phases, including conceptual design, schematic design, design development, and the preparation of detailed construction documents.
Our focus remains on optimizing the use of each area to fully leverage the available space while creating a functional and visually striking result.
Phase 1
Concept Design. (Approximately 3 Weeks)
Phase 2
Schematic Design. (SD)
3d Model Review (Approximately 4 Weeks)
Phase 3
Design Development. (DD)
Coordination of the project with consultants from the various specialties involved. (Approximately 4 Weeks)
Phase 4
Construction Document Development. (CD) (4 Weeks)
Concept Design - phase 1
Preliminary design of spaces, spatial analysis, and development of an area chart, distribution study, as well as defining the design line together with the client. Both parties will discuss all the client's requirements and needs. The goal of this phase is to achieve a preliminary design where an area program will be developed and its relationship with the rest of the spaces, as well as the evolution of the design line. The following documentation will be delivered at this stage.
Content of plans to be presented in the proposal:
Presentation of levels 1layouts .
Style and architectural intention proposal (Moodboard)
Reference of finishes and elements to be incorporated
DELIVERY TIME: 2-4 weeks.
schematic design - phase 2
The objective of this phase is to develop the design to a more technical level, focusing on defined areas, styles, finishes, and especially the functionality of the spaces, primarily for visualizing the entire space.
In this phase, the project will be developed through 3D modeling with clearly defined intervention areas, styles, and finishes, allowing the client to fully visualize the functionality and aesthetic of the spaces.
Plan content to be presented in the proposal:
3D Model.
DELIVERY TIME: 2-4 weeks.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT - PHASE 2
Upon owner’s approval the plans The drawings and documents will be detailed with dimensions, construction notes and specification.
Content of plans to be presented in the proposal:
Develop residential units’ layout as per design intent. Coordinate domestic requirements and specify finishes. We will propose the locations for electrical outlets and an illumination design intended to enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of the space. Develop lighting layout.
DELIVERY TIME: 2-4 weeks.
Construction Drawings -Phase 4
In this phase, we will detail the project to the maximum level, providing comprehensive notes, detailed specifications, material schedules, and fixture schedules to create a "builder's manual" that enables ownership to construct the project with ease and precision
All set of plans and details.
DELIVERY TIME: 2-4 weeks.
