2 — Site analysis

Site analysis is a very important first step before sketches are started for the proposed design, to understand the environment with which the building will engage. It consists of an on-site meeting to understand the surrounding environment – neighbouring properties, position of the sun, views and topography.

3 —Design sketches

Sketches for the site layout, floor plans and exterior design. This also includes consultations regarding the sketches to review visual concepts and how the design relates to the site.

4 — Drafts, 3D model & sun study

CAD drawings for scaling and detailing from the initial sketches. A 3D model with sun study is made to understand massing of building and how it is affected by daily sunlight.
