Start Your Design Journey with a Discovery Call

The Discovery Call is your exciting first step towards bringing your vision to life. It's a chance for us to connect, explore your ideas, and see if we're the perfect match to transform your space. Whether you have a clear vision or are just starting to imagine possibilities, this 30-minute conversation will set the foundation for your project.

What to Expect

  • A relaxed conversation about your design ideas, goals, and style preferences

  • Discussion of your project's scope, timeline, and any challenges you foresee

  • An introduction to our design process and how we can help achieve your vision

  • Time for your questions—get clarity on anything from our approach to potential budgets

How to Prepare

To make the most of your Discovery Call, consider preparing:

  • Inspiration: Gather images or create a mood board of styles you love

  • Must-Haves: List essential features for your space, as well as "nice-to-haves"

  • Budget Range: If you have a general idea, it's helpful to discuss (but not required)

  • Functionality: Think about how you want to use the space—consider layout, storage, or future needs

What Happens After the Call?

If we're a good match, we'll move forward with the Project Initiation Phase. We'll define your project in detail, set expectations, and begin building the foundation for our collaboration. Even if we're not the right fit, you'll walk away with helpful insights to guide your design journey.

ABOUT havard cooper III

Havard Cooper is a designer and architect based in New York. His study of classical music in his youth gracefully segued into a fruitful residential architecture and interior design career. Drawing inspiration from his homelands, the breathtaking Northumberland coast, and the vibrant West Indies, this individual crafted living spaces that embodied classical compositions' timeless elegance and sophistication. With an ear finely tuned to the harmonies and rhythms of orchestral masterpieces, each architectural and design element mirrored the dynamic interplay of melody and harmony, creating a visual symphony for the senses. The result was a collection of distinctive residences that celebrated the rich legacy of classical music while offering a serene yet evocative sanctuary for those who dwell within.

Throughout his career, Havard Cooper III has collaborated with notable firms, such as Charlap Hyman Herrero, Sawyer Berson, Cetra Ruddy, Rockwell Group, and D'apostrophe. His clients have included Related Group, George Condo, KAWS, Levy Gorvy, and Skarstedt Gallery to name a few.

He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, and a Master of Architecture from the Savannah College of Art & Design.

He is WELL AP, AIA, RIBA and a LEED AP. Registered in New York, Connecticut, and Illinois.
