Stage 1: Space Planning

STAGE 1

Space Planning

We believe that with a little imagination  and the right team of experts  you can transform your home into a more functional and attractive space. At COCOON, we pour our hearts into each home remodel because we know this process is about much more than knocking down walls and adding new rooms. It’s about seeing possibility in the places other people might overlook and creating a space that will benefit you for years to come.

We will get to know you and your space on a deeper level to ensure we deliver results that enhance your family’s daily life. With your remodel goals and budget in mind, our Architectural Designers will work diligently to create a series of different layout options to transform your space.

It All Begins With a Survey…

After getting to know you and talking through the problems you’re facing in your space, our team will conduct an Architectural Survey. 

During this survey, one of our designers will visit your home to take precise measurements of your space. This process helps us gain a comprehensive understanding of your home’s existing structure. It also enables the designer to look for potential obstacles that may affect the overall design and cost of your remodel, such as:

  • Load-bearing walls
  • HVAC
  • Plumbing
  • Foundational damage

Completing this survey ensures COCOON can provide you and your family with the most seamless remodeling process possible. We’ll work closely with you to get a sense of how your family utilizes your space and how we can add to its functionality and comfort.

The Architectural Survey will allow us to create floor plans of your existing home. With your space’s unique dimensions in mind, we can start dreaming up what is possible for your home.

 

3 Floor Plans, 3 Price Points

Once our design team has the necessary measurements of your home, they will begin to draw your existing floor plan and three other potential layouts. 

These layouts will represent different approaches to your remodel, showing you a range of what’s possible in your home. Our designers will share each option in the form of Plan A, B and C:

Plan A

The first layout, Plan A, generally outlines the simplest remodel option for your home. It may illustrate what is possible within your existing floor plan. Since this option tends to be the least complicated, it is also typically on the lower end of the budget.

Plan B

The next plan is usually slightly more complex than Plan A. It might show you how we could add more square footage to your space by knocking down a wall or constructing a new living space. This option walks the line between the straightforward nature of Plan A and the more elaborate qualities of Plan C.

Plan C

The third potential layout may help you understand how an addition can maximize the flow and function of your space. Plan C may include a more creative and innovative floor plan design you have not considered for your home. This option tends to be on the higher end of the budget and may involve a more extensive remodel.

All three of these layouts will be based on multiple factors, like your initial conversations with our Project Advisors, your budget and your townships building codes.

Choosing the Perfect Floor Plan!

This is where it gets exciting! Next, you will meet with your Project Advisor to review the three possible layouts. You can mix and match the elements you adore from Plans A, B and C to create layout your family will love for yearsOur team is here to help guide you toward the option that balances your family’s needs and your budget.

Once you have selected the perfect floor plan, you have the opportunity to decide if you would like to move forward into Stage 2: Design Selections.
