Non-residential Architecture
Whether an office fit-out, stand-alone commercial structure, private auto museum, or mausoleum, Mitchell Wall Architecture & Design has experience designing many non-residential architectural projects. We cherish these projects and treat them as pieces of art, just as we do with our homes.
Our Collaborative Design Process
At Mitchell Wall Architecture & Design, our design process is customized to meet your specific needs. You’ll be part of a collaborative journey from start to finish.
Initial Meeting
Our first step is to meet with you to define your project. This meeting explores your requirements, relationships with spaces, and organizational workflows. We develop and refine the project as we proceed. Plus, as a strategic partner, we’ll look at your projected growth and plan a project that evolves with you.
Schematic Design
In the schematic design phase, we will meet multiple times to present you with our designed floor plans and listen to your feedback. You’ll see the project develop more and more to align with your needs.
Design Development
Following your approval of the schematic design, we will commence with design development. This process includes:
- The development of construction documents.
- The selection of architectural products and materials.
- Establishing conformance with local building codes.
- Detailing.
To help you understand your project better, we can create 3D renders of interior spaces, computer massing studies of new exteriors, and an actual model.
Engineers and Interior Designers
Depending on the project’s scope and delivery method, engineering services may be required. If so, we’ll incorporate that work into our construction documents.
We can coordinate with vendors and provide compressive project management services. Vendors may be for audio-visual equipment and other equipment, information technology, fixtures, furniture, and security.
Plus, as a full-service firm, we are capable of providing all interior design services.
Bidding and Negotiation
During the bidding and negotiation phase, we serve as your representative. We provide clarity by working closely with bidders, ensuring they are all bidding on the same information and decisions.
Construction
We also serve as your representative during the construction of your project. At this stage, we review submittals and shop drawings and answer requests for information (RFI’s) from the general contractor. We attend construction meetings and make site visits at appropriate intervals to observe construction and ensure your project is being constructed in alignment with the project’s design intent. Additionally, we’ll review your builder’s requests for payments on your behalf.
Our Expert Architects Are Here to Help
Mitchell Wall Architecture & Design’s team of expert architects is here for you every step of the way, as much or as little as you’d like. We can simply create the design and construction documents and leave the rest in the hands of your facility or construction team. Or, we can advocate for your needs from inception to move-in day. You just decide and let us know.
In the end, you’ll have a beautiful custom space with characteristics that go beyond your expectations.
