Every project starts with an idea.  TAP D.M. will work alongside the Owner to map out the project. This phase includes defining the project's purpose, the long-term goals, anticipated obstacles, budgetary constraints, and analysis of the proposed site. TAP D.M. recognizes design as a human activity involving input from a large pool of ideas, cultures, and constructs.

The staff at TAP D.M. has had a hand in hundreds of architectural design projects.  Beginning with schematic design, the TAP D.M. team will collaborate with the Owner in regards to the purpose, style, and wants for the project. The schematic design will transform into physical form; this will bring into consideration the material selection, systems, and preliminary structure design to avoid later issues during construction documentation.
