All ProjectsHow do we do it
A perfect architectural design can only be achieved when all the key factors have been thoroughly considered. Client brief, budget, site constraints, sustainability and materials all need to be carefully explored to allow us to reach a final creative solution that adheres to our rigorous design principles. The result is an inspired building or space that reflects your needs, responds to its setting and realises its potential.
Concept Design
This stage studies if a project is feasible – that is, it is financially viable and determines the benefits and reasons for a project to move forward. Working with our Architects, a concept design is the first creative phase allowing designers to explore numerous options to reach the best possible design.
Planning
The final design is refined in collaboration with other consultants ready to submit as a planning application to the Local Authority.
Technical Design
Detailed technical construction drawings are produced for building regulations and to allow our creative vision to be accurately realised during the build.
