Our Process

i. programming

The programming phase is where we work to understand your needs, goals, and values. This phase is the foundation of a successful project; we talk about expectations, timelines, and budget. It includes in-person meetings, questionnaires, sharing inspiration, and documenting the existing space.

ii. concept

The data from programming is used to generate initial floor plans, mood boards, and 3D imagery. Initial furnishings, fixtures, and finishes are included to help us visualize the design direction. We’ll then review and adjust as needed.

iii. design development

The design is finalized in this phase. Specific materials and custom items are chosen and purchasing begins.

iv. construction documents

The completed design becomes a detailed construction document. All material details are put into a specification manual for the contractor and trades.

v. installation

This is when construction documents come to life! Atrium will be making site visits and working with the contractor, trades and artisans to ensure the design intent is carried through until project completion.

vi. wrap-up

We're almost there! Small tasks are finished, and projects may be photographed.
