The team considers master planning critical for equine facilities. The properties where people keep their horses are so much more than a stall barn — they include roadways, pathways, turnouts, pastures, arenas, storage buildings, manure handling, fire and life safety, consideration of topography and weather patterns — the list goes on and on. Planning an entire site in advance will facilitate ease-of use, enhance safety, quality of life for the horses, and reduce costs in the long term. GH2 works with each client to prepare a custom-tailored proposal with services to meet their needs for a successful project.

Utilizing the information we gather during our kick-off consultation, we will develop a program which will include the spaces, quantities and sizes for each facility planned as well as notes regarding preferred materials and equipment to be incorporated in each facility.

As we work with you to develop a master plan, we also develop the concept design for your facilities. This process gets underway by developing floor plan diagrams that consist of basic “thumbnail” sketches or layout options.

As we develop a Concept Design, we can also develop 3D renderings that are color images that indicate basic architecture, proposed materials, and entourage such as horses, people, landscape elements, and vehicles. GH2 can also prepare conceptual animations or “fly-throughs” of the proposed project.

Once master planning is complete, we dive deeper into design details! Schematic design takes the master plan documents a step further. During schematic design, we meet to determine materials, finishes, specifics on stalls, feed rooms, tack rooms (and so on) and include drawings and 3D.

As we develop a master plan and conceptual design, we also provide construction cost estimating services. Starting to develop budget numbers early in the process allows you, as the client, to see the estimated total project cost and make decisions that are right for you and your budget.

It is good for your architect to remain involved during the construction of your project. Our services include various administrative duties, including interpreting the construction documents and responding to the construction professional’s questions.
