DESIGN
Our back ground in Naval Architecture allowed us to gain extensive knowledge and experience in craftsmanship, quality, materials and building techniques as well as a thorough understanding of the design- and building process; understanding that good design leads to better performing living spaces and a more efficient building process.
We have worked in 3D design environments for 30 years and use 3D modelling from the initial concept stage throughout the design process. 3D is a must for the client to visualise the design from an early stage. It also prevent nasty (structural) surprises in the actual building process and allows the buider to prefab.
We value the use of natural materials like stone and timber, simple because we, as people are made from the same dna. We positively respond to these materials. We feel them. Adding to that, natural materials are also easy to recycle and part of our sustainability policy.
Our designs follow the usual process:
-
Client’s list of requirements
-
Concept Design
-
Development application
-
Detailed design (including list or materials & finishes).
-
Set of tender documentation
-
Overseeing construction
Please give us a call and we will be more than happy to discuss your project.
