Stephen Matthew Designs provides architectural services for residential, historic, existing-building, and design-focused projects in Miami and South Florida.
Architectural design for new residences, renovations, additions, and transformations of existing homes. Projects are developed in response to site, climate, program, material, and the way clients want to live.
Assessment and architectural transformation of existing structures, including measured documentation, planning studies, design interventions, and coordinated improvements.
Design strategies for historic and culturally significant buildings that respect existing character while accommodating contemporary needs and new uses.
Concept studies, schematic design, architectural drawing, three-dimensional modeling, visualization, and communication of design ideas for clients and project teams.
Establish project goals, site conditions, program, constraints, priorities, and opportunities.
Test architectural ideas through drawings, diagrams, models, research, and visualization.
Refine spatial, material, technical, and environmental decisions into a coordinated architectural proposal.
Advance the work with consultants, documentation, permitting, and project coordination as appropriate to the commission.
Stephen Matthew Designs can assist clients during the early stages of a project, when the first need is to understand existing conditions, define priorities, and evaluate what may be possible before committing to a larger scope of work.
Each commission begins by understanding the property, the client's goals, available information, regulatory conditions, budget considerations, and the architectural opportunities particular to the project.
Scope and services are then established according to the needs of that commission rather than assuming that every project requires the same process or deliverables.
Tell us about your property, project goals, and what you are hoping to accomplish. An initial conversation can help determine the appropriate next steps.
