Architectural Design

A complete, holistic and collaborative approach to architecture

(About Services)

We will work with you to translate your dream project into the reality

We provide our clients with interactive design experience in the form of virtual 3D models right from conceptual stage of design which can help in understanding and visualizing projects from the very beginning. Utilizing advanced technology of BIM allows us to deliver design with added value to the client in the form of cost saving, time saving and smooth running of a project with a predictable performance.

Our broad range of architectural design services such as pre-design consultation, schematic design, design development, construction documents, consultant and project team coordination, presentation drawings and site/project feasibility analysis are tailor-made to suit the unique needs of each project.

(What we will offer?)

Pre-Design The first objective is to get-together with a client and determine overall project vision and goals. Irrespective of the industry being residential, healthcare, hospitality, commercial, etc., there are some key areas to discuss the project – scope, features, purpose, and functionality. In this phase, we carry out client consultation, existing conditions and site survey analysis, feasibility study and space planning program. We will prepare a proposal that outlines what is derived from the meeting in order to define our scope of work and your expectations.

Schematic DesignIn this phase, we do series of sketches/drawings that illustrate the basic concepts of the design along with initial research of local code compliance and regulations. Architecturally, we will focus on identifying environmental and spatial relationships such as solar orientation, ventilation strategies and design strategies in relation to building footprint, massing, height and space planning. From our initial layout, plans will begin to emerge, and elevations will start to take shape, all in 3D BIM models. At the end of this phase, we deliver preliminary site plan, floor plans, conceptual elevations and sections.

Design DevelopmentDuring Design Development, we advance the design significantly based on the floor plan and exterior concept approved in the previous phase. The detailed interior planning is done for room layouts, amenities, kitchen and bath layout, location of the utilities and service cores to make them all functional. The overall feel of the project will be more evident – from the exterior appearance, styles of openings, massing, texture, finishes and landscape concepts. This phase involves finalizing the design and producing drawing set including floor plans with overall dimensions, structural grid dimensions, interior wall dimensions, exterior elevations with openings and finishes specified, additional building sections, wall sections at all typical conditions and typical details.

Construction Documents At this stage we have a final design from all disciplines (Structural, MEPF, Civil) to produce fully coordinated package to begin preparing construction drawings/blueprints and technical specifications necessary for permit application, bidding and construction. Construction contractors will use these detailed drawings and specifications to prepare for the construction. In this phase, we deliver fully annotated and dimensioned floor plans, exterior elevations and building sections, wall sections and details at all conditions, reflected ceiling plans, door and window schedules, finish schedules, vertical circulation details, life safety plan, energy and code compliance information, etc.

Construction AdministrationDuring this stage we will start executing the project on site as per the construction document set. Working very closely with contractor or construction manager, we will resolve all site and construction issues through periodic site visits, documenting construction progress, confirming that the materials and workmanship are of good quality, and verifying that contractor’s billings accurately reflects the amount of work completed. This is the last phase and at the end of this phase, a project is ready for use/occupancy.
