Our process

We explore different forms and aesthetics, varied orientations, room layouts, single or multiple levels, relationship with landscape, planning obligations, and material possibilities. This consultative approach is core to our philosophy and services. Together we explore ideas to help you understand what you want to achieve with your project.

We present each concept design with a sketch layout, and generate project-specific sketches, site analysis, a written report outlining the brief, process, costs, considerations, opportunities and concept ideas. Mood-boards evoke where we think the project could go in terms of its material and tectonic expression – how it could be built.

In the Design Development stage we take the ideas presented in the Concept Design stage and develop them in response to our client’s feedback. By the end of Design Development we’ll have a final design ready to document for the planning application.

Design Development furthers design exploration and refinement, working our collective way towards finalising the home’s relationship with its site, landscape, cohesion of interior spaces, layout, form and materials. We also integrate specialist information.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
