A quick concept sketch
Sitting with the client I made this sketch between bites of my sandwich. We originally developed a single family detached unit for the developer. He later had an opportunity to develop a lot with a duplex unit, so over lunch I made this quick sketch of what a duplex version of a single family unit we did could look like. Each unit is about 1,700 sf with 3 bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 baths.

Recent Project
New detached garage designed to replace existing garage for a single family residence.
The client needed a two-car garage with small workshop and an exercise room. Within the small footprint we provided a flexible garage and workshop space with the exercise space in the attic. The space is heated using a heat pump system.

What are Architectural Services?
The process we follow for the Design and Construction of projects involve several steps. Typically, projects go through the following six steps or phases. However, on some simple projects, several of these steps may be combined; on other more complex types there may be additional steps.
Step 1: Deciding What to Build
This first stage, called programming, is probably the most valuable time you will spend with us, your architect. It is at this time we discuss the requirements for your building: how many rooms, what function the structure will have, who will use it and how. It is also the time when you begin to test the fit between what you want, what you need, and what you can afford to spend.
Step 2: Rough Sketches
Once we have defined what is to be built, we will then do a series of rough sketches, known as schematic designs. These sketches will show you the general arrangement of rooms and of the site. If you have difficulty understanding the sketches (many people do), ask and we can explain the ideas. Depending on the project and budget, we can also make models of the design to help better visualize it.
Step 3: Refining the Design
This step, called design development, is when we prepare more detailed drawings to illustrate other aspects of the proposed design. The floor plans will show all the rooms in the correct size and shape. Outline specifications will be prepared listing the major materials and room finishes.
Step 4: Preparing Construction Documents
At this point, we prepare construction documents, the detailed drawings and specifications which the contractor will use to establish actual construction cost and to build the project.
Step 5: Hiring the Contractor
There are a number of ways to select a contractor. We can make recommendations, or if you already have someone you want to work with, you might send the construction documents to him or her and negotiate fees and costs. Or you may wish to choose among several contractors you've asked to submit bids on the job. We will discuss the pros and cons of these methods with you to help you decide what will work best for you.
Step 6: Construction
This final step is often the most anxiety-producing part of the whole process. Up until now, your project has been confined to intense discussion, planning, and two-dimensional renderings. When construction begins, your project moves from an abstraction to a physical reality.
Ready to start?
If you are ready to start I would like the opportunity to discuss various issues relating to your current or future design needs. Please contact Crutcher Studio, Inc for a project consultation.

Open House for The Arts League Of Michigan Virgil H. Carr Cultural Arts Center
July 21, 2009
Crutcher Studio, Inc. assisted The Harris Design Group with the interior design for the new home for The Arts League of Michigan Virgil H. Carr Cultural Arts Center. The Arts League of Michigan is a center that develops, promotes, presents and preserves the African and African American cultural arts traditions within our multicultural community.
The development of the Virgil H. Carr Cultural Arts Center is the next step in the evolution of the organization and moves to establish it and The Arts League of Michigan as major participants in the cultural life of our community and the nation. Named in honor of Virgil H. Carr, past Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Arts League of Michigan, this facility will be recognized as the premier center for African and African American cultural arts programs and activities in the nation.
The Carr Center is located in The Harmonie Club, located at 311 E. Grand River. Constructed in 1895, the building and its subsequent club, known as the Harmonie Club was originated by the Harmonie Society, a musical society of German immigrants. Designed in classical Beaux Arts style, the building is four stories embellished by appealing stone work, and carefully designed curving windows, all reminiscent of the best in urban architecture of the late Victorian age.

Masonry Deck for a Residence
I have just completed the design for a deck using brick and concrete. The owner wanted the low maintenance and durability of masonry and concrete. The structure of the deck will be structural steel and enclosed with brick. The floor of the deck will be stamped and stained concrete on a metal deck. A gazebo on the deck will have a metal roof.

Interior Renovation: Reconfigure a master bathroom
Renovation of a Master Bathroom and closet.
The challenge was to provide a steam shower and increase the usable closet space.
The proposed renovation takes advantage of the existing plumbing locations to create a more open plan for the bathroom and provides an increase in closet space.
