Process

When working on a project we believe that good Architecture is only created through a close dialogue between client and architect. Normally once we have listened to and hopefully understood the clients requirements we develop a design that we think answers the brief. This is then discussed with the client and the designs are modified in an organic process until both the client and us are happy with the result.
We employ various mediums to demonstrate our concepts. These range from simple freehand sketches, 2D computer plans, 3D computer models, watercolour elevations and photorealistic renderings/photomontages.

Watercolour Painting

These are used to demonstrate schemes for planning where we are trying to demonstrate how well a scheme fits in with the surroundings. The soft hand crafted drawings seem to reassure concerned neighbours and planning committees.

3D Computer Rendering

We like to use the 3D capabilities of the computer as a design tool rather than a presentation tool. Once the model is built we can set cameras up and view any perspective that we choose. This is particularly good to demonstrate a scheme to a client.

Technical Drawing

2D Cad drawings are used to explain how our designs technically work. This can be to clients during the initial design stages or to contractors on site who need detailed information on how to physically construct the project
