Conceptual Design
Laurence Associates recognises that every client is unique, so we never take a one size fits all approach to the design process.
We are passionate about architecture and we will work closely with you to guide you through the design process.
Once the design brief has been developed and agreed , our architects and designers will develop detailed concept designs, based upon the brief, the detailed knowledge and analysis of the site and the constraints. The conceptual design presentations range from hand drawn sketches, two and three dimensional CAD plans to computer-generated images and photographic montages. Their focus remains firmly on the clients’ objectives and brief throughout. That ensure we leave you with a building that is beautifully designed and a pleasure to occupy.
Approaches to the design –
There are several areas the architect or designer may focus on at the early stages of design that will begin to inform the concept and direction of the project. These areas may be drawn upon throughout the project, weaved into one another, as the project develops. The approaches can be categorised as:
- Functional
- Material
- Contextual
- Conceptual
- Formal
- Collaborative
- Philosophical
