Architecture & concept design
Develop the spatial concept around the site, intended users, function and project objectives. Evaluate alternatives before moving towards a defined architectural direction.
Design that connects people, spaces and the realities of construction.
Architecture, engineering and design connect the intended use of a place with its form, technical requirements and practical delivery. Concepts, drawings and visual studies support decisions as the brief develops.
Coordination across disciplines helps identify interfaces early. Building systems, structure, interiors and the requirements of construction are considered in relation to the project rather than as isolated packages.

Develop the spatial concept around the site, intended users, function and project objectives. Evaluate alternatives before moving towards a defined architectural direction.
Connect structural, civil, mechanical and electrical requirements with the architectural brief. Identify the technical interfaces that need specialist design and review.
Consider layout, circulation, finishes, materials and furnishings in relation to the intended use and wider building design.
Use models and visual studies to communicate the design, compare options and help clients and project teams understand the proposed space.
Coordinate drawings, specifications and design clarifications so the information issued to delivery teams supports a consistent project brief.
The building is considered as one coordinated system: space, structure, services and interiors affect one another. Design reviews help expose interfaces and resolve conflicting requirements.
Drawings, visual studies and technical documentation support a clear conversation between the client and the project team as the design develops and moves towards construction.

Define users, site context, functional requirements and the relationship between the building and its wider setting.
Test spatial arrangements and architectural alternatives alongside structural and building-services requirements.
Bring engineering interfaces, material decisions, visual studies and technical documentation into a consistent design package.
Clarify design decisions and technical queries as the project moves from documentation towards construction and use.
