Transparent boundaries and zero hidden costs

Detailed Methodology & Execution Scope

01

A plan shaped around its setting

The first stage establishes the accommodation schedule, site orientation, access and relationship to outdoor space. We explore layouts against the agreed brief and explain the effect of choices such as open living areas, accessible rooms, balconies or additional bathrooms. A catalogue model is not required to start.

02

Develop the selected design

Once a direction is selected, the commissioned package can progress through plans, sections, elevations and material intentions. Structural and services interfaces are coordinated as the design develops. Apartment projects also need shared circulation and core decisions; housing communities need clear relationships between individual types and the masterplan.

03

Keep decisions and changes visible

The offer states design stages, alternatives, review rounds and drawing outputs. Client-specific plans, 3D modelling and renders are paid work. Local permit submissions and signatures are identified separately. Before production design, layouts and key selections are approved so later changes can be assessed for their programme and cost effects.

Frequently Asked Questions about this Service

Does modular architecture look like standard shipping boxes?

No; with refined ventilated facades, cantilevered overhangs and pitched or flat roof options, we craft award-winning architecture.

Can an existing conventional design be converted to modular?

Yes; we re-grid existing concrete or light-steel layouts into optimized volumetric steel modules with minimal aesthetic alterations.

What are the maximum transport module dimensions?

Standard transit permits accommodate 3.50m - 4.20m width, 12m - 14m length, and 3.20m internal ceiling clearance.

Which BIM and CAD software suites are utilized?

We model in Autodesk Revit, Rhino, Tekla Structures and ArchiCAD for complete OpenBIM compatibility.

Are bespoke interior design packages included?

Yes; fitted furniture, sanitary layouts, lighting plans and materials catalogs are integrated into the package.
