Design Process

At BOA, our goal is to simplify the design process for our clients. Building and redesign in a thoughtful, lasting way, is a complex process, but with more than four decades of combined experience, we are full of inventive solutions.

BOA begins each project with loose, creative ideas in pencil on paper that are later refined through BIM software and 3D visualizations to support our clients’ goals and financial interests.

Collaborate

Collaboration is about respect for the knowledge of everyone on the team. We see design as a partnership with our clients, contractors and consultants, and when clients are inspired, even passionate about their projects, we get excited.

Integrate

Specializing in historic preservation, we work to thoughtfully honor the character of historic structures while bringing functional, modern elements to each project. Through efficiency and function, we solve design problems elegantly.

Deliver

From concept to completion, BOA stands by clients every step of the way. From managing the intricacies of the permitting processes to offering responsive, conscientious management of projects and budgets, our goal is always to serve our clients’ unique needs and budgets.

Client Partnership

From timely communication to the realization of well-planned, beautiful spaces, BOA prides itself on being able to adapt to each of clients design aesthetics, values and budgets.

As you share the vision for your home, we will work with you to create a detailed plan so your dream becomes a reality. Many clients become overwhelmed by endless possibilities that creative design brings, but we will streamline the decision-making process for you by offering pre-selected choices on everything from building materials to fixtures to tile choices and paint colors. There is nothing is more pleasurable than witnessing a client enjoy the spaces we’ve created for them.
