The Concept by Cornerstone
— Pricing —

Three plans.
Three depths.

Start where you are. Each plan is delivered in three business days, designed by architects and developers, made specifically for your land and your family.

"The home should answer the land before it answers the family."

On position

We do not design your home. We do not draft plans. We do not replace the architect.

We help you arrive at design — knowing what you want, knowing what your family needs, knowing what to watch for in every meeting that follows.

The drawings come later, from someone licensed to make them. The thinking, the questions, the brief that makes the drawings possible — that begins here.

Folio 006 — The intake

What we ask
before we begin.

The quality of your study depends almost entirely on what you tell us. The intake is unhurried — thirty questions that translate your life into a brief an architect would respect. A sample of what you will be asked appears at right.

Q.01
How does the morning begin in your home — quietly, or all at once?
Q.07
How many hours a week is the home a workplace, and for whom?
Q.12
When you imagine the home in ten years, who lives there — and who has left?
Q.18
Where in your current home do you find yourself, when you want to be alone?
Q.24
If guests visit, do they stay for an hour, an evening, or a weekend?
Q.30
What worries you most about this project — beyond the budget?
Folio 007 — The studies

Three depths.
One method.

Three studies, each appropriate to a different stage of your thinking. Begin where you are — most clients begin with The Concept.
