A preliminary meeting is held at the client's home to discuss the client's goals and needs as well as to "brainstorm" potential solutions. From this initial meeting, a proposal is created for each project to respond to its unique characteristics and the individual client needs. It is anticipated that the design process will be an interactive one between client and architect in all phases described below.
Each phase will build upon the previous by incorporating your comments and modifications, and our increased level of detail. The project may include some or all of the following services. A written list of spaces and their sizes is developed to summarize all areas to be included in the design and to verify the total size of the building.
A Graphic analysis of the building site is also created to identify natural and man made amenities, including views, solar orientation, slopes, open and wooded areas, potential access points and approach views, and potential building areas.Several concepts for organizing the program on the site are also studied during this phase.

Mahoney Architects takes a broad approach to green design ranging from initial site and building design through system and material recommendations.
Our initial stages of design consider various options for locating a home on its site and include evaluations of solar orientation both for sunlight into various rooms as well as options for solar systems.
As the design progresses we discuss the various types of mechanical and insulation systems an owner may want to consider and will often recommend engaging a HERS (Home Energy Rating System) consultant to further the analysis of options.
