Design Services
Phase 1 - Discovery/Feasibility Study
Scope of work may include:
- Review local zoning code to assess codes relationship to projectscope/development
- Review building code to assess codes relationship to projectscope/development
- Establish maximum project buildable scope and project use
- Analysis existing state; site survey/context, existing building
- Define general program elements- Assess budgetary allowance
Phase 1 - Discovery/Pre-Design Services
Scope of work may include:
- Integrate feasibility study- Program document summary: uses, sf & analysis
- Identify project core team/client representatives
- Client research; cultural assessment, design thinking workshops &defining client project goals, user group workshops
- Detailed site analysis; access, solar, topography, weather and identify opportunities and limitations.
- Project Narrative; design themes/principles, conceptual framework, human centered design, precedent studies, AI studies, client brand/uniqueness
- Program development; block & stack, critical adjacencies, program anomalies, etc
- Identify sustainable framework and goals
- Establish project budget
- Project “Storybook” documenting feasibility and pre-design content
* Discovery covers both feasibility studies and pre-design services. Both phases include project research and analysis that establishes the basis for design services. A feasibility study can occur on its own as a stand-alone service separate from
pre-design.
Phase 2 - Design
Scope of work may include:
- Develop both 2D & 3D studies for multiple formal options
- Program test-fit for multiple options
- Building/site analysis for multiple options
- Sustainability integration for multiple options
- Create design matrix (pros/cons) to determine preferred options
- Client/Core team meeting to decide design direction
- Refine and develop singular scheme for client sign-off pre-schematic design phase
- finalize design process in project “storybook”
Phase 3 - Realization
Scope of work:
- Schematic Design, Design Documents, Permitting, Construction Documents, Specifications, Construction
Administration
