Six ways the studio is usually commissioned. A project may need one of them, or several in sequence. The scope is agreed in writing before drawing begins.
Architectural design
Delivering structural clarity across every scale—from single-family homes and workspaces to cultural and civic venues.
Site & Brief Analysis: Grounding the design in its context and project requirements.
Concept & Spatial Design: Shaping the vision through precise plans and sections.
Collaborative Development: Integrating structural, service, and consultant expertise into the design.
Regulatory Documentation: Producing coordinated permit drawings alongside the project team.
Interior Architecture
Designing rooms, bespoke furniture, lighting, and materials in tandem with the building's core structure to create spaces that retain their integrity long after loose furnishings change.
Spatial Planning & Proportions: Sculpting room volumes and dimensions for optimal flow.
Material & Finish Schedules: Curating tactile surfaces and palettes.
Fixed Joinery & Lighting: Integrating custom built-ins and illumination seamlessly.
Master Planning
Structuring larger environments by establishing the foundational order for plots, pathways, shading, utilities, and future building sites, ensuring subsequent phases unfold seamlessly without disruption.
Typology Structuring: Organizing campuses, housing developments, and urban neighborhoods.
Infrastructure & Circulation: Mapping movement, parking, and service access.
Strategic Phasing: Sequencing development so initial construction supports future growth.
Design Guidelines: Establishing clear parameters for later-stage buildings.
Landscape Architecture
Crafting courtyards, gardens, green roofs, and public edges with climate-responsive, functional planting designed to handle seasonal shifts and heavy weather.
Topography & Water Management: Sculpting levels, paving, and drainage systems.
Amenity & Threshold Design: Curating seating, lighting, and building transitions.
Outdoor Living Rooms: Treating courtyards and roofscapes as primary architectural spaces rather than leftover areas.
Sustainable Design
Prioritizing human comfort through passive strategies like orientation, shading, and spatial section, employing mechanical systems only to supplement what the architecture cannot achieve naturally.
Passive Strategies: Optimizing orientation, shading, and cross-ventilation.
Natural Illumination: Maximizing daylight while preventing glare on work surfaces.
Material Lifecycle: Emphasizing durability, repairability, and responsible sourcing.
Target Coordination: Aligning water, energy, and building envelope performance goals.
PMC Services (Project Management Consultancy)
The consultancy remains embedded throughout the construction lifecycle, ensuring rigorous on-site quality control so that the architectural vision translates flawlessly into the built reality.
Tender Documentation: Preparing comprehensive packages for contractor bidding and procurement.
Construction Oversight: Conducting regular site reviews and progress monitoring.
Quality Assurance: Approving samples, mock-ups, and critical construction junctions.
Operational Handover: Maintaining a detailed record of key decisions to support future facility upkeep.
If the right first step is only a site reading, say so. The appointment can grow from there.
