It’s not your imagination. Life in the twenty-first century is busier, faster, and more complicated than ever. Your built environment should simplify, not magnify the weedy chaos of today’s daily routine. But here’s the deal: you don’t always need a full set of blue prints to fix a problem. Sometimes some solid advice and a fistful of sketches will fit the bill. As the saying goes, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” iota : max will ensure you head out in the right direction.

Is your house bursting at the seams? Is your kitchen a dysfunctional mess? Does the frumpy and inefficient layout of your workplace betray how truly hip and organized your business is? iota : max can help you imagine a bigger, brighter future, but with bite-size fees.

In addition to the traditional basic architectural services, iota offers a one-time, low cost architectural consultation called a "micro architectural exchange." iota : max, for short. We understand that while not every project justifies the cost related to traditional full architectural services, most everybody could benefit from the technical expertise, planning advice, and creative problem solving abilities of a professional architect.

iota : max is an entry level alternative for homeowners, business owners, and contractors who simply need help getting started, but don’t know where to begin; or who need a vision of their project's full potential, but haven’t picked up a ruler or crayon since grade school.

Here's how it works. A certified iota : max architect will meet you at your space, help you to identify your needs and problems, document the existing conditions of the space, imagine the possibilities, and give you an architectural tool kit to get the project started. Your tool kit will include sketches and images, project specific advice, and contact information for contractors and tradespeople. Think of the iota micro architectural exchange as a kind of architectural mod-squad: a fab five house call, but without the cameras and catty remarks.

Iota's on site architectural consultations come pre-packaged in two day and four day service bundles. Just select the service option that best fits the size and complexity of your project.
