SPECIALIZING IN DESIGNS THAT WORK
Generally the plumbing and mechanical layout will appear on the floor and electrical plans. Occasionally an isometric plumbing diagram is provided, depending on the complexity or jurisdictional regulations.
Structural elements are designed with plumbing and mechanical accomodation in mind. This mitigates construction delays and cost overruns.
Additions, Remodels, New Homes. Kitchens, Bathrooms, Garages & Tenant Improvement
Thinking about a project? TC can help you ascertain the feasability of your ideas with regard to the existing conditions, your desires and the architectural style involved. Goals and desires are assessed and various methods to achieve them are introduced. Weighing various methods with personal desires and how cost is affected are essential keys to a successful design.
Immediately after purchasing a very tired 1950's rancher in Los Altos, we hired TC to be our designer/ architect/advisor for a major updating remodel and 600 sq.ft. expansion project. The results were pretty spectacular! In addition to meeting our initially stated requirements, TC came up with several unique concepts and features of her own. One of these was an exciting oasis/atrium in the new master bedroom/bathroom area. This has turned out to be a smash hit with everyone who has seen it. We found TC to be very reliable and creative, and we have no hesitation in strongly recommending her services.
