design
Creative design is at the core of the company. From masterplanning to private residences our approach is one of vigour with design flair and vision. No two sites are the same and each commission merits its own specific response. We believe that only through close collaboration can our client’s needs be fully understood and creatively interpreted. Our design solutions draw their inspiration from what is unique and special about the project, the interests of the client, the nature of the brief, the physical context and the way it will be built.
At the concept stage, we begin with sketches in dialogue with the client that aspire to a dynamic design which maximises value and quality. Energy is expended to carry the vision through design development where the computer also brings an added dimension of accuracy and versatility to the drawing process. 3D computer aided visualisations or physical models may be employed.
As architects we play a major part in adopting a responsible approach to the environment to protect the cycle of sustainability and energy conservation.
Only a well managed team will produce design of the highest quality. Quality management systems include design reviews, technical audits and extensive use of information technology. Our unusual opportunity for collaboration with the construction management team serves to reinforce the integration of the design and construction process.
