After making the decision to build a new home or remodel an existing one, the first step in the process, before starting the design (Pre-Design) is to build an architectural program. This programming phase is the foundation of the design and includes the goals of the project and the Owners’ wants and needs.

I originally introduced this project to everyone in a post I wrote called “ Sketching during Schematic Design ” that I wrote back in November 2014. That post showed the process of going from initial concept to a finished schematic design plan that I would ultimately show the clients. Foundation begins.

As a step towards the schematic design refinements, my boss had prepared 6' long pencil-drawn and marker-colored large-scale wall sections on narrow sketch paper strips that showed how everything should fit together. Still, binding as they are, competition drawings are just conceptual; it was my job to create working drawings.
