We
work closely with our Clients and involve them in the concept design
development process. We mutually develop the architectural program and
master plan. Our mission is to develop a partnership between our
client and design team so we can create a superior and integrated building
that meets our Client’s needs and budget.
The architectural program is the foundation on which the design of the
building is defined. This program establishes the overall concept,
philosophy and design approach for the building.
Through
the development of the architectural program we identify and define our
Client’s priorities and needs so they will be in harmony with the concept,
budget, and schedule and in balance with the building’s basic style and
character.
In developing the concept, we establish the building space
adjacencies, orientation, and function. We define the general
construction materials, building systems, and design elements that are to be
specified, and how these materials and systems will be coordinated and used.
During
the planning process we locate the building on the site with respect to
specific concerns, such as historic, cultural, and environmental factors,
which will further establish and define the building’s design style and
character.
This planning process transforms a thought into reality; sketches into a
building. |
