| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a feasibility study in architecture? | A feasibility study evaluate s whether your project is viable based on zoning, site conditions, codes, and budget. At PAS Architects, we deliver permit-ready feasibility studies that help you avoid costly missteps and move forward with confidence. |
| When should I request a feasibility study? | Before design begins. Whether it’s a remodel, new home, or ADU, a feasibility study should be your first step to confirm site potential, timeline, and entitlement issues. |
| What’s included in your feasibility study services? | Our studies include zoning/code review, setback/FAR/height checks, conceptual layout options, budget guidance, and permitting pathways — all summarized in a written report. |
| Can a feasibility study help me get permits faster? | Yes. By identifying code issues and project risks early, we help streamline the approval process and reduce rework. Our permit-ready feasibility study aligns your concept with jurisdictional requirements. |
| Do you offer feasibility studies for multifamily or commercial projects? | Absolutely. We tailor our studies for all project types — from single-family ADUs to multifamily and tenant improvement work — factoring in parking, density, and use standards. |
| Will I receive drawings or just a written report? | Most studies include concept-level sketches, site massing diagrams, or layout test fits. These help you visualize what’s possible — especially useful for discussions with partners or investors. |
| Can this be bundled with your Ready Plan or full design services? | Yes. Many clients start with a feasibility study, then apply the insights toward Ready Plan ADUs, remodels, or full custom designs. It’s a strategic entry point into the larger design process. |
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What’s the difference between interior design services and hiring an interior decorator? | Interior design services go beyond surface-level styling. At PAS Architects, we focus on interior space planning, material selection, lighting design, and even custom millwork. As an architectural interior designer, we ensure your interiors integrate seamlessly with the structure, function, and long-term vision of the space. |
| Can I hire your team for just interior design, or do I need a full architecture project? | You can absolutely hire us for standalone interior design services. Whether it’s a home renovation, a single-room redesign, or a new build needing a refined interior approach, our team customizes the process to match your scope and goals. Contact us to discuss your needs. |
| What’s included in your custom interior design packages? | Our packages are tailored to each project, but typically include space planning, material and finish selection, lighting layouts, custom cabinetry design, and final decor styling. We also offer 3D renderings and procurement coordination to ensure clarity before build-out. See our services. |
| How do your interior design services support wellness and sustainability? | We incorporate low-VOC materials, natural lighting strategies, and biophilic principles wherever possible. Our designs prioritize not just aesthetics, but also comfort, air quality, and mental well-being—especially in homes, offices, and wellness spaces. |
| Do you offer 3D visualizations or mockups before installation begins? | Yes — our team provides 3D interior renderings and walkthroughs during the refinement phase so you can visualize how everything comes together before final decisions are made. These mockups reduce guesswork and align all parties before procurement. |
| Can your team help with renovations or just new builds? | We specialize in both. Whether you’re renovating a single room or reimagining your entire home, our interior design services adapt to renovation conditions—integrating with structural upgrades, permit needs, or phased construction. |
| How collaborative is your process for interior design clients? | Highly. Every step begins with listening and vision alignment. We present moodboards, layout options, and material palettes, then revise with your feedback. From concept through styling, our approach ensures your voice is part of every decision. |
| What types of projects do you typically design interiors for? | We design interiors for custom homes, full renovations, ADUs, wellness spaces, and modern offices. Whether it’s a light-filled living room or a high-functioning kitchen, we balance comfort, clarity, and visual cohesion. |
| How does your design approach align with national standards or best practices? | Our work is guided by both local building codes and national design resources, including insights from the American Society of Interior Designers. This ensures every design is functional, enduring, and aligned with current best practices. |
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does landscape architect coordination mean? | It means we work alongside your landscape architect to align the building and site early in the design process — including grading, access, views, drainage, and outdoor program layout. |
| Why do I need an architect to coordinate with the landscape team? | Without alignment, site features often clash with architecture. We help ensure materials, scale, and flow are cohesive — resulting in a more integrated and functional design. |
| Can you coordinate landscape design on sloped or hillside properties? | Yes. We specialize in working with grading and topography challenges, helping ensure your landscape works with (not against) structural, drainage, and zoning constraints. |
| Do you include the landscape in the architectural permit set? | If requested, yes. We can coordinate hardscape layouts, planting zones, and drainage solutions into your permit-ready architectural drawings, streamlining approval. |
| What types of outdoor spaces do you typically help coordinate? | Patios, entry sequences, decks, courtyards, walkways, ADU yards, rooftop gardens, and more. Our focus is on tying the indoor–outdoor experience together. |
| Can this service be used on projects outside of California? | Our coordination expertise is based on California code and environmental factors, but we can support out-of-state projects with adaptable strategies if needed. |
| Is this service included in your base architectural fee? | No. Landscape coordination is offered as an add-on — especially helpful when clients already have a landscape team or want focused site alignment without full landscape design services. |
