We help dreams come true by designing remarkable...
Lake Houses
We are a full-service, registered Architecture and Interior Design firm specializing in new builds, large-scale renovations and interiors using minimal and modern aesthetics.
We proudly accept a wide range of projects and enjoy new design challenges and opportunities. Our work is inspired by an ever-growing body of influence and is therefore always developing, and always shifting with the times.
At Motif, we’re not interested in cookie-cutter solutions, but rather in spaces that are unique, beautiful, and functional. The hallmark of our work is not a particular style, but rather the quality of the space, the thoughtful material choices, and the attention to detail.
We bring commercial quality to every single project.
Commercial quality, every time:
each project undergoes an in-depth quality assurance and control process.
Our team is highly trained in technical detailing, life safety standards, and has a deep construction understanding. We bring years of formal education, apprenticeship and accreditation by the state to the table for each project.
In addition to ensuring your design intent is protected and maintained during construction, as your architect, we will ensure that construction best practices are implemented, and your project schedules are maintained.
We don't take shortcuts and we're not a drafting company. Since we take on a limited about of projects each year, we spend the time and do it right.
We provide better coordination with Contractors by delivering advanced drawings, 3D models, and real-time computer simulations.
Our team uses a highly advanced suite of design and coordination tools to delivery each project.
By using BIM management tools, including Revit, Enscape and Navisworks, our entire project team is working with the latest data and design solutions. This shared use of design and coordination tools eliminates potential clashes with other disciplines involved in the project completed – such as mechanical and electrical - and helps contractors develop accurate bids.
We also provide our clients with virtual reality visualization in the BIM environment.
This immersive form of visualization helps us all – designers, engineers, owners and investors – get a better understanding of the state of the project, existing conflicts, and unresolved issues. In projects requiring fundraising or marketing, we have been successful in providing tools for visual excitement and garnering investment support for projects.
More than your average small firm
As a boutique firm that specializes in precise designs with a heavy focus on detail, we have built a strong reputation for providing high-quality construction drawings, presentation exhibits, and 3D construction diagrams. We pride ourselves on our robust deliverables and have cultivated a design process that ensures the vision and aspiration of each project remain uncompromisingly intact from concept to completion.
Communicate directly, clearly, and regularly with our stakeholders
It would seem like this would go without saying, but the key to a successful project is excellent communication. We begin every project with a transparent proposal that identifies the frequency of our design meetings, a simple breakdown of our fee, a list of your deliverables and a clear, defined understanding of the scope.
