PROJECT VISION

6 sections · PDF ready in ~30 min

“Most couples arrive at their first architect meeting with half-formed ideas and disagreements they've never surfaced. The architect spends the first session extracting basics. You leave feeling unheard.”

This tool changes that.

How it works

1

Answer one question at a time

A conversational interview covers your daily life, what frustrates you about your current home, and what you truly want — without overwhelming you.

2

Partners answer privately

Near the end, each partner answers three questions separately. Their answers are woven into the brief without putting anyone on the spot.

3

Receive your professional brief

A PDF in six sections — ready to hand to your architect on day one, so the first meeting starts with substance.

What you'll receive

A brief your architect can actually use.

Here's a sample from a real session — anonymized.

Design Principles

  • Kitchen and living room must share a visual connection — the cook is never isolated from family.
  • Master bedroom faces east. Morning light is non-negotiable.
  • The home should greet you before it invites you in — a proper entry sequence, not a door that opens to the living room.

Points to Discuss With Your Architect

  • Budget priority: one partner leans toward finish quality, the other toward square footage. Needs alignment before design development begins.
  • Pool: strong preference from one partner, undecided from the other. To be decided before schematic design.

“The couples who arrive best prepared aren't the ones with the biggest budgets. They're the ones who did the work of knowing what they wanted — before they walked in the room.”

What clients say

★★★★★

“We'd been talking about building for three years and never knew how to start the conversation with an architect. This gave us a document we were actually proud to hand over.”

“I didn't realize how much we disagreed on until the questions surfaced it. Better to find out now than halfway through a $600k build.”

★★★★★

“Our architect said it was the most prepared she'd seen first-time clients. We skipped the entire 'getting to know you' phase and went straight to design.”
