METHOD OF DESIGN
All Projects Receive:
- Design Response to Regional and Climatic Characteristics
- A Solar Path Diagram for our latitude indicating the location of the sun in the daytime sky throughout the year.
- A conceptual site zoning diagram indicating light and thermal characteristics to be mediated and/or taken advantage of through careful planning.
- Programmatic Demands and Client Aspirations Including Legal and Code Constraints
- Analysis and documentation of the clients needs, space demands, desired results, as well as economic, legal, and building code constraints.
- Preliminary Design Services
- A graphic translation of programmatic demands and environmental characteristics form an architectural response for a specific building site.
- 3-Dimensional Digital Modeling And Testing Is Used For All Project Design Phases
- Modeling a Residential Design upon a satellite image of a building site.
- Building designs are prepared for general study and improvement.
- Each important space is prepared for detail study and development.
- Daylighting and Energy Analysis
- Visual and digital studies identify sound daylighting solutions to minimize heat gain, energy waste and long-term cost benefits.
- Energy Analysis identifies the most productive applications of energy efficient building techniques and projects expected energy demands.
- Studies Are Made Of Local and Regional Material Applications
- Budget and Time Constraints Are Respected While Promoting A National Standard
Of Construction
- Construction drawings and written specifications are carefully coordinated to provide the owner and contractor with clear construction directions and expectations.
