Design Engine

Approach

We consider that our committed approach to projects and the constant drive for quality architecture is the best demonstration of our added value. We offer below some additional aspects of our added value:
 

Director Input

 
The philosophy of the practice is for high director input in the conception, detail and contract stage of our projects.
 

Design By Dialogue

 
We believe that the success of any project is closely related to the level of consultation throughout the development of the brief and subsequent design process. Our role in previous consultation exercises has been to:
  • Encourage, motivate and stimulate the client body and consultant team throughout all stages of the development process from inception to completion.
  • Listen to and embrace the concerns and aspirations of the client body, in order for them to achieve a sense of ownership.
  • Adopt a ‘hands-on’ approach to design, using facilitators to enable interested parties to participate and understand the process.
  • Use a variety of appropriate media, from printed reports to visual presentations, models and mock-ups to communicate ideas in an easily understandable way.
  • Ensure results of consultation process are acted upon swiftly and incorporated into the design.
  • Prepare a report to summarise each exercise and to structure future events.
