We prepare the design brief, defining the key requirements, the number of storeys and rooms, and how each space will be used. We discuss your preferred style and review visual references.
We study the site's location, climate, surroundings and topography.
Based on this information, we prepare a fee proposal and enter into an agreement.
CONCEPT DESIGN
We develop initial ideas and concepts that establish the house's style, form, proportions and overall vision.
We position the house on the site, taking all its characteristics into account. We consider how you will live in the house and organise the spaces into functional zones.
We create a 3D visualisation of the house.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
We develop the spatial layouts, including specifications for floors, walls and ceilings, and furniture layouts for each room.
We detail the facade construction, including the number and placement of windows and glazed areas. We plan the positioning of rainwater downpipes and key system connections.
We calculate the quantities of materials required for construction.
STRUCTURAL DESIGN
We carry out geotechnical investigations and use the findings to calculate loads and design a safe structural system for the house.
We develop structural details, including masonry wall plans, lintel types, and fixing and reinforcement drawings. We also prepare construction instructions.
We specify the materials required to build the house.
CONSTRUCTION
We deliver the project with trusted, reliable contractors who have many years of experience. We monitor progress against the schedule and oversee the quality and accuracy of the work.
We also provide design supervision when you appoint your own contractor. In this arrangement, our role in overseeing construction is more limited, but we check that the work follows our architectural design.
INTERIOR DESIGN
We meet with you to discuss your wishes, requirements, preferred style, budget and project schedule. We study the space's architecture, dimensions and lighting conditions, and consider your specific needs. We assess the design opportunities and constraints.
We develop an overall design concept that responds to your wishes and the character of the space. This includes choosing the style, colour palette, materials and overall atmosphere.
We develop an interior layout covering furniture placement, functional zones, ergonomics and ease of use. We create visual materials, including 2D plans, 3D models, and colour and material schemes, to help you picture the finished result.
We select materials, finishes and furniture that support the design concept while meeting your budget and needs. We then oversee implementation, coordinate the contractors and check that the design is followed.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
We meet with you to discuss your preferences, requirements, budget and project schedule. We study the site's characteristics and assess the design opportunities and constraints.
We develop an overall design concept that considers your wishes, the architectural context, style, colour palette, materials and atmosphere.
We plan the layout of planting, sculptures, structures and functional zones, and prepare visual materials.
We select the plants and structures, oversee implementation, coordinate the contractors and check that the design is followed.
