A concept design turns the client’s needs and the opportunities of a place into a coherent vision for a building. We develop concepts for homes, commercial and public buildings, establishing function, context, massing, facades and key materials before detailed documentation begins.
Discuss your project
We begin with how the building will be used, the spaces required, budget and intended programme. In parallel, we review planning rules, orientation, access, topography, neighbours and views. For commercial and public buildings we also consider user flows, accessibility and requirements arising from the particular use.
We develop the layout, circulation and relationships between the building’s principal zones. We test its position on the plot, massing, roof, glazing and entrances. Where a key issue has several strong answers, we compare options and explain their consequences for function, appearance and later project stages.
The outcome is an agreed architectural direction presented through plans, elevations, a model and visualisations appropriate to the scope. A concept allows decisions to be made while change remains a natural part of the process, and provides an organised basis for building documentation and consultant coordination.
Tell us where the project is located and what support you need. We will come back with a suggested next step.
