Schematic Design & Creates Cool’s Collaborative Process
At Creates Cool, we approach the Schematic Design (SD) phase with a unique philosophy: collaboration, innovation, and efficiency. Unlike traditional architecture and design firms, we combine teamwork, cutting-edge technology, and streamlined methods to create a process that is as seamless as it is effective. This ensures that every project reflects your vision while moving forward with clarity and speed.
Our Goals in Schematic Design:
Schematic Design is the foundation of every successful project. During this phase, we work to fully understand your wants and needs, exploring ideas and refining layouts to create a design that works for you.
Understanding Your Vision: We begin by reviewing new and proposed plans, focusing on space sizes, locations, and layouts. The goal is to get the essentials right from the start.
Laying the Groundwork for Future Phases: Once the layout is perfected, we move toward planning materials, fixtures, cabinetry, construction details, and coordination with consultants.
Inspiration and Exploration: During this phase, we encourage you to think big and share ideas that inspire the look and feel of the next steps.
How Creates Cool is Different:
We don’t just design—we collaborate. Our process sets us apart by putting you at the center of decision-making and using technology to keep things moving efficiently.
Technology-Driven Efficiency
At Creates Cool, we embrace the latest tools to make the design process transparent and easy to understand:
3D Visualizations: See how your project will look and feel before it’s built.
Interactive Design Tools: Explore design options in real time and understand the impact of your choices.
Clear Communication: From real-time updates to visual aids, we ensure you’re informed every step of the way.
Collaboration Is Key
Unlike other firms, we actively involve you at every stage. This isn’t a one-sided process. Instead, we listen to your feedback, refine ideas in real time, and incorporate your input to create a design that truly reflects your needs. This collaborative dynamic ensures:
Better Decisions: Your involvement eliminates guesswork, helping us create designs that align with your vision.
Faster Results: Open communication and active participation speed up the process, reducing unnecessary delays.
These tools not only help you make faster, more confident decisions but also allow us to streamline the workflow, minimizing back-and-forth and keeping the project on track.

Communicate Your Vision: Share your current challenges, goals, and inspirations.
Provide Feedback: Let us know what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d like to explore further.
