This is the phase where we ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and explore all the “what-ifs.”

What if the powder room moved?

What if the entry felt like an arrival, not an afterthought?

What if the bulkhead became a feature?

We don’t jump straight to one solution — we explore multiple layout options so clients and contractors can see the possibilities clearly. Our Exploration Sets might include:

• Floor plan variations

• Spatial overlays

• Circulation and zoning diagrams

• Budget-conscious tweaks vs. full redesigns

This isn’t about indecision — it’s about intention. When we problem-solve early, we reduce surprises later. It saves time, avoids change orders, and sets the project up for smoother builds and happier clients.
