Concept Design
Before a building becomes form, it needs a reason.
Concept Design works at the earliest and often most consequential stage of a project.
A concept earns its place
By what it makes possible next.
We investigate the site, brief, organisation, tensions and possibilities. We look for an idea that can organise the project rather than decorate it.
Then we test how that idea begins to affect programme, movement, section, form, material, experience and identity.
Early-stage work may include
From brief to spatial direction.
- Brief interpretation
- Site reading
- Project narrative
- Concept generation
- Spatial strategy
- Early diagrams
- Programme relationships
- Form and section studies
- Material direction
- Design critique
