How a commission runs.

Architecture, interiors and construction — three parts of the same job, used as the brief needs them.

Architecture

Plan, mass, structure. How the building meets the street, the plot and the climate.

Light, kitchens, rooms that take use. The interior is not a second contract after the building is frozen.

Drawings a contractor can price. Site attendance, and construction when the studio is also the builder.

Arrival, kitchen, seating — planned so a full evening still works.

Houses and apartments for the plot, the climate, and how a household actually lives.

Shops, workplaces and mixed-use fronts that have to earn on a working street.

Fit-outs in the same brief as the building: light, kitchens, living floors, retail, workplaces.

Civic and landscape work — shown as studies when they are studies.

Renders, walkthroughs, and drawings a contractor can price and build from.

01

Brief and site

What you need, who will use it, and what the plot, climate and regulations will allow.
02

Plan and mass

A plan that works before an elevation that pleases. A few options, argued clearly.
03

Material and interior

What it is made of, how it is lit, and how it will feel after five years of use.
04

Documents and site

Drawings a contractor can build from. Site attendance, and construction when appointed.
