Identifying you style can be tough, especially when you are flooded with beautiful imagery on social media. It can be challenging to use one word to describe a style, so we don’t ask our clients to use words, instead we ask them to pin. Yes, we use Pinterest.com as a tool in our design process. We particularly like the aspect of client and architect sharing this board together as means of real-time collaboration. We do set those specific project boards to “private” so we can create virtually in the same confidence as we would in a face-to-face design meeting.
Design intent can be tough to convey; it is comprised of any number of ideas and goals, and all of the implications of achieving them successfully. It can be tough for owners to express what your intent is if you’re not fluent in the language of building - and why should they be? I can’t speak the language of medicine, or astronomy, and no one is expecting me to.
