Please contact us to discuss your design opportunities today!\n\nNeeds Assessments and Feasibility Studies\nWe have the capability to ask the right questions to help you determine your future facility needs. We can evaluate your existing building and site, as well as help you with proposed sites. We especially appreciate the opportunity to envision new life for old buildings, whether as adaptive reuse or as historic preservation projects. We have worked with building as old as 200 years as well as historic barns. At this phase we also evaluate zoning and site development issues, such as utilities, wetlands, flood plains and other natural features.\n\nSite Evaluation and Selection\nIt is of paramount importance for you to have a thorough evaluation of your site before you make a substantial investment. Just as you hire title searches, environmental consultants, tax advisors and others for your business decisions, make sure that you understand the zoning, utility, and other design factors that impact a prospective site.\n\nSketch Design\nIs the method used to capture the essence of your ideas. \nWe use 3 Dimensional Modeling to show you what your building interior or exterior will look like. If your vision is not clear, we can create multiple design options for your consideration.\n\nMaster Planning\nHaving long term plans for facilities and sites can be a strategic part of any organization, community or company. We can help you to evaluate how your long term needs, objectives and visions can be met and work with you to develop step-by-step, 5 year and longer master plans that help you focus on priorities and prevent costly miss-steps from occurring.\n\nDesign Development\nOnce a sketch design is decided upon, we work closely with you to make sure that your ideas are shaped into a cohesive whole that can be built within your budget and schedule. This Phase can often include detailed cost evaluation.\n\nConstruction and Permit Drawings\nOnce a design is finalized, we create construction drawings and specifications that can be used to bid, build and get building permits.\n\nContractor Selection\nDepending upon your needs, we will work with you to find the right builder for your project. This may entail interviews, evaluation of qualifications and/or bidding. We work with you and a qualified contractor to develop a contract for construction.\n\nConstruction Oversight\nDuring construction we are available to assure that the building is constructed according to the approved design and to make sure that any last minute changes you may desire are incorporated into the finished building.\n\nWe thank you for an interest in our company and look forward to working with you hand in hand to deliver the best product on the market! Please give us a call today.\n\n\n

If you are not satisfied with the quality of design you typically find around town, and you want a home of the quality found in notable magazines such as Architectural Digest, then William B Morris Architect is for you. We provide captivating designs that you will not find in a plan-book or from a "house designer". We design homes specifically for discriminating clients. By listening carefully to your needs and aesthetic preferences we are able to design a home that is uniquely yours.\n\nThe first step in the process is to gather and analyze information and perform all the work necessary prior to actually designing your home. During this time we formulate a detailed �program� which defines your needs and objectives: function, size and relationship between spaces, character and image, and a host of other considerations that affect how you will live in your home. We analyze your site and determine the best placement of the house and spaces within to capture views and sunlight. During this stage we also establish the construction scope, budget and schedule. \n\nConceptual brainstorming and exploration define this portion of the design process. It begins with the creation of concept diagrams and rough sketches. During this time we determine the general layout, form and overall appearance of both the house and the site. Sketches, drawings and study models are prepared to help evaluate the ideas and concepts and set the final direction for refining the design.Once the size, layout and character of the home and site are refined, we begin to design feature elements such as stairs, cabinetry, fireplaces and built-in furniture. Drawings are prepared that describe some of the important technical details. Plans,elevations and sections through the house are developed.\n\n\n\nA graduate from Shaker Heights High School, William has lived in the area since 1937. Then received a degree in Architecture from the renown University of Cambridge. Bringing his education back to Cleveland to help design the city of what you see today.\n\n
