ARCHITECTURE BLUESKY

Discovery Phase

 

Our multi-disciplinary team of financial, design and construction experts will work with you to craft a “strategic feasibility box” within which the project will live as it is developed. A framework budget and master schedule are developed to determine the appropriate levels of financial and time investment that should be allocated for initial phases of development.

 

The existing facilities are “audited” for gaps and opportunities in the areas of:

  • Guest Experience
  • Worship / Adult Capacity
  • Children / Youth Capacity
  • Parking / Site Capacity

 

The PlainJoe BlueSky Workshop

In this interactive process, we will discover your unique story by articulating three elements:

  • Setting – Distilling the unique “sense of place” of your community, influences, inspirations and history.
  • Character – Defining your “tribal” identity as well as your community’s psychographics/demographics.
  • Plot – Outlining your story arc, mission, and purpose.

 

At the intersection of these three story elements lies the “Big Idea,” which once uncovered, will serve as our guiding design principle and influence hundreds of decisions across multiple disciplines by providing design logic and internal consistency.

 

Once the “Big Idea has been defined, we work with you and your team of core stakeholders to conceptualize, understand, and articulate the placemaking implications of your unique setting, characters, and pl

 

Based on Walt Disney’s “lost weekend” with Imagineering legend Herb Ryman, we develop the master plan, a three-dimensional perspective, the thematic storyboards, and signage and graphic concepts on site. The work of several months is compressed into several days spent at your current facility where we steep ourselves in your unique DNA and “land the plane” for the project.
