FULL-SERVICE ARCHITECTURE
From first sketch to final walkthrough, Riley+Studio offers comprehensive architectural services for custom residential projects across Maine and New England. We handle every phase of the design and construction process including schematic design, permitting, detailed construction documents, and contractor collaboration. Whether you’re building a new coastal retreat or renovating a historic home, our team ensures the result reflects your vision and lifestyle.
SITE FEASIBILITY & PLANNING STUDIES
If you’re planning to purchase land or redevelop an existing property, our team can assess site potential, perform zoning and setback analyses, and explore design options that align with your goals. We help you make informed decisions early — whether it’s a rural lot in Western Maine or a tight coastal site on the New England shoreline.
ARCHITECTURAL VISUALIZATION
We offer high-quality architectural renderings and visualizations to help you clearly understand your project before construction begins. From photorealistic exterior images to conceptual floor plan visuals, our renderings bring ideas to life — making it easier to make design decisions and share your vision with family, builders, and stakeholders.
Our Process
Schematic Design
We begin by exploring your vision, needs, and site conditions. Through sketches, concept plans, and preliminary 3D models, we develop the overall layout, massing, and architectural style. This is the stage where ideas take shape.
Construction Documents
We prepare a detailed set of drawings and specifications required for permitting, pricing, and construction. These documents provide clear instructions for the builder and ensure consistency throughout the build.
Design Development
With the design direction set, we refine the plans, elevations, and material selections. We coordinate with consultants as needed and begin incorporating structural, mechanical, and code-related considerations to solidify the design.
Construction Administration
We stay involved throughout construction to answer questions, review shop drawings, visit the site, and help resolve issues that may arise. Our goal is to ensure the design intent is executed properly and the projects moves forward smoothly.
