An architectural feasibility study investigates the potential of a site or building. It is an important first step in determining a project’s physical and financial viability. Our feasibility studies are tailored to suit our client’s needs and may include:
• Site analysis (history, surrounding context, constraints, opportunities)
• Zoning analysis and building code review
• Programming and space planning
• Conceptual site and building plans
• Outline of necessary approval processes

In all our projects, whether a single-family home, apartment building or public open space, a context-sensitive design is at the forefront of our approach to design. Whether the site for a particular design endeavor is an urban street or a natural setting, the design solution should consider and be informed by the specific qualities of its surroundings, both in a physical and historical sense.
