Concept Design

Upon initial meetings and agreements, we will analyze the site and delve into the clients goals and relationship to the site. We explore the site’s narrative. We begin the collaboration with internal and external teammates. Ideas are turned into pen and paper.

Final Plans and Construction Documents

As the goals of concept materialize, Populus Studio will document the drawing package for budgeting, details, and construction. The next steps are taken to get us to the design finish line, as the project team solidifies.

Project Management

As the design is finalized, we can manage the installation and coordinate the team. This phase includes ongoing site visits, drawing revisions during construction, and working with contractors to ensure the initial intent is followed throughout the project.
