The Architectural Design Process
Our design process is specifically targeted to ensure a smooth, practical experience for both our clients and our team. Here is a brief outline of the design process:
Inspect the Site
Good planning leads to better outcomes. At this initial stage, our team will undertake a thorough investigation of the site and; record measurements, assess any design constraints, and confirm the feasibility of the site for the proposed building works.
Develop the Brief
From this information, we can start to develop the detailed design brief which guides the next steps of the design process. The initial design brief is generally formed with a number of key dot points which cover functional requirements for the building, but can sometimes be more general and list a number of key aesthetic considerations for the various spaces.
Prepare Concept Sketch Floor Plans
We then develop initial sketch concept floor plans and present our design vision for the building to you. Our initial sketches generally explore a range of ways that the building design and brief can evolve to achieve a great design outcome, and allow you to consider key decisions and guide the development of the building design moving forward.
Assess Feasibility
As the concept plans are refined into a building design that achieves the requirements of the brief we can then take a more analytical look at the design detail. This analysis allows us to confirm the feasibility of the building design and assess elements like materials; physicality and aesthetics, as well as how the proposed building will fit into your budget.
