Frequently Asked Questions
How does Selah's collaborative design process work?
Selah's collaborative design process begins with understanding how your family actually lives outdoors — morning routines, afternoon activities, evening entertainment patterns. The Baker project exemplifies this approach, where design sessions focused on spatial relationships and long-term adaptability rather than feature selection alone. Our design team guides clients through informed decision-making at every phase, from initial site analysis through construction details. This methodology ensures your outdoor living space investment reflects both professional expertise and personal lifestyle priorities.
What makes Selah's design-build approach different?
Design-build methodology unifies architectural vision with construction expertise under single-source accountability. The Awalt residence showcases this integration, where design decisions consider both aesthetic intent and construction realities from initial concept through final completion. This approach eliminates the coordination gaps common in traditional design-bid-build projects. When the same team handles both design development and construction execution, every detail receives the attention it deserves while maintaining clear timeline and investment accountability throughout the entire process.
How long does a collaborative design project take?
The design development phase typically spans several weeks, allowing time for thoughtful consideration of spatial relationships and construction details. The Baker project followed this patient timeline, with multiple design sessions refining the vision before construction began in Fort Worth. This deliberate approach to design development pays dividends during construction, as thorough planning eliminates delays and change orders that plague rushed projects. The investment in dedicated design time ensures smoother construction and a final result that serves your family for decades to come.
Can you design outdoor spaces without pools?
Selah creates complete outdoor environments that may or may not include pools, depending on your family's lifestyle priorities and site conditions.

The Baker project demonstrates our holistic approach, where every element contributes to the overall composition. Whether your vision centers on a pool or focuses on other outdoor amenities, our collaborative process ensures cohesive design that feels like a natural extension of your home.
