HISTORIC PROPERTY PROCESS

HPC DESIGN REVIEW

We will end our process by taking the project through HPC Design Review. There are usually 2 phases: Pre-App and the Official Meeting. If the project is passed you will receive the CoA.

INITIAL MEETING

We will meet to go over the project scope and your expectations. We will also address any initial concerns we believe HPC may have.

DESIGN

We will create options for design plans. This is a process so we typically go back and forth a few times receiving your feedback and making changes. We will create a final design that fits within the HPC guidelines and will allow you to both meet your needs while preserving history.

BUILD

We hand over our set of Final Construction Documents to you and your builder. We can work with them to create estimates and review the design and selections.

"Sarah and her team have now done two projects for us -- both with stellar results. The first was an interior redesign of a historic home, updating for a new kitchen, bathroom, and living area. The second was for a "tiny house" apartment and office space. Both projects turned out well.
My husband and I appreciate Sarah's friendly attitude and competent design knowledge. We would highly recommend her services."

"We retained GO Architectural Design to design and permit a 4-unit residential townhouse project on a very challenging site located in a historic district. In short, there was nothing easy about our proposed project. In addition to having to satisfy our needs as a client, they had to satisfy a multitude of local government permitting officials and committees, as well as engineers and state regulators. The final product exceeded our high expectations. The design, creativity, and attention to detail was extraordinary. We are a very satisfied client, and more importantly, all permitting committees and agencies were equally satisfied with GO Architectural Design having issued all required permits.
The staff at GO Architectural Design was always accessible, professional, creative, and an absolute joy to work with, especially given the stresses of working on such a challenging project. I would hire them again with complete confidence."
