Why Studio 360?

Engaging Design Process

We do a lot of listening, then produce a series of thoughtful options that include plan diagrams, sketches, perspective views, and 3D models. Clients are heavily involved in this process and our dialogue about the solutions presented may be used to modify the schemes until we form a consensus on design direction. Following this early phase, if not during, we recommend consulting with a prospective builder in order to maximize the use of resources. We can refer many excellent and reputable contractors upon request.

Client Attentiveness

Our commitment to a high level of client service extends through the entire project. From the very start we include our clients in the design process. We strive to be accessible, responsive, and engaged. Because design is incomplete until construction is complete, we prefer to follow all of our projects through construction to assure the design is executed properly.

Technical Expertise

Accurate, detailed drawings save time and money. Our meticulous plans are detailed to specify all materials that will be needed to construct the project. We consult with structural engineers, surveyors, lighting designers, AV specialists and others to create a thorough construction set. Contractors appreciate our drawings because they are permitted quickly, communicate clear expectations to subcontractors and are accurate.

Materials Selection

Excelling as a full service design firm, Studio 360 offers selection services for all interior finishes of the project. This allows our attention to detail to remain consistent throughout the design. Our relationships with local showrooms assist us in the selections of items such as appliances, lighting, tile, cabinets, trim, or any material that is inherent to the construction process. Our clients appreciate “single source” design service because it simplifies the process, avoids miscommunication, saves them time, and reduces stress.
