Our Services

Measured documentation of existing spaces, translated into accurate as-built CAD drawings prior to design development.

This service establishes a reliable foundation for spatial planning, layout development, and construction coordination.

​

• Field measurement of interior spaces

• Existing condition floor plans

• As-built CAD documentation

• Wall, ceiling, and opening verification

• Existing space analysis​

​

All field data is translated into CAD drawings to create a clear and dependable base for future design work.

CAD documentation forms the technical foundation for all design work developed by Elle Smith Design Studio.

​Drawings may be created from on-site field measurements, designer sketches, or existing plans provided by collaborating professionals

​This service is also available as standalone drafting support for designers who need sketches, layouts, or existing plans translated into clear CAD drawings and presentation visuals.

​

• CAD floor plans from field measurements
• CAD drawings from designer sketches or markups
• Space planning drawings for furniture, fixtures, and layouts
• Presentation drawings for client visualization
• Design concept documentation

• Furniture layouts and room planning ​

These drawings help designers and clients clearly understand layout, proportion, and spatial relationships before construction, installation, or design development begins.​

Spatial planning and interior architectural design for kitchens and cabinetry-driven specialty spaces such as mudrooms, laundry rooms, pantries, sculleries, and secondary kitchens.

In these engagements, Elle Smith Design Studio serves as the interior architectural designer responsible for developing the spatial layout and design direction of the space, in collaboration with industry professionals or the homeowner.

Focusing on how the space functions, and supports daily life before materials are selected or construction begins.

Layout development often includes appliance integration, cabinetry systems, and spatial design decisions that shape how the space is ultimately built.

​

Typical spaces may include:

• Kitchens, Mudrooms, Laundry rooms, Pantries and sculleries, Secondary kitchens
• Bar areas
• Bathroom layout planning
• Other specialty residential spaces requiring integrated cabinetry systems

Design development typically includes:

• Appliance integration and cabinetry planning
• Space planning and circulation
• Plumbing fixture placement and coordination
• Cabinet, vanity, and millwork proportions
• Flooring layout and architectural detailing

​

​Every layout is carefully developed to ensure the space functions beautifully and efficiently once built.

​​

Note: Initial deliverables include CAD presentation drawings illustrating the design intent. Following design approval, the construction documentation phase may include dimensioned drawings developed to support fabrication, shop drawings, and installation.

Architectural storage and millwork concepts designed to integrate seamlessly into the structure of the home.

In this scope, Elle Smith Design Studio develops the architectural design for integrated storage and millwork systems, working in coordination with industry professionals, homeowners, builders, and cabinetmakers to ensure the design intent translates clearly into fabrication and installation.

These elements often become defining features of a space — blending storage, architecture, and daily function.

​

Typical projects may include:

• Bathroom vanities and integrated storage
• Built-in bookcases and reading nooks
• Entry storage and coat closets
• Bars and display cabinetry
• Specialty storage and architectural millwork
• Pet feeding stations or custom lifestyle storage
• Window seating and integrated storage benches

 

Each system is developed with careful attention to proportion, usability, and construction feasibility.

​Design Process

​

Consultation & Project Review
Initial meeting to review project goals, existing plans, and site conditions.

Site Documentation (as required)
On-site measurement and documentation of the existing space to support accurate design development.

Interior Architectural Layout Development
Development of the spatial layout, circulation, and cabinetry systems that define how the space functions.

Presentation Drawings & Design Review
CAD presentation drawings are developed to illustrate the design intent and review layout decisions before moving forward.

Construction Documentation (as required)
Once the design is finalized and approved, dimensioned construction documentation may be developed to support fabrication, shop drawings, and installation.
