Creation of concepts and master plans
The architectural concept helps to correctly determine the most suitable construction solutions of the project, to assess the viability of the decisions made from both technical and financial points of view. The creation of architectural concept takes place at the initial stage of work on a project, before the development of project documentation and is focused on creating a clear and accurate architectural presentation.
Stages:
- Development of the building architectural concept, taking into account the urban planning situation and current trends in architecture
- Determine the building location on the site, the number of required parking spaces, roads and pedestrian zones
- Development of the planning concept
- Obtaining technical and economic indicators (TEP), considering the requirements for solar insolation, Natural Light Ratio (KEO), and other standard indicators.
Result:
The architectural concept gives the customer an initial understanding of the future development. This section allows the customer to assess the potential of a building site, by linking all building elements in a single architectural style, and taking into account the wishes of the customer and urban planning standard requirements. The development of an architectural concept is an effective element of project presentation to investors, partners, or the public administration.
Composition of the "Architectural concept":
- Explanatory note includes text descriptions of the concept, main decisions for project implementation
- Assessment of urban planning regimes, TEPs
- Analysis of the urban planning environment with an indication of the main types of development
- Creation of a master site plan
- Composition of the main premises
- Visualization of the project with the development of the adjacent landscape
- Selection of building solutions and materials
- Layouts indicating functional zones
- References selection for interior solutions
- Other documentations as required depending on project
Service comments:
Performing a high-quality architectural concept study will lead to minimization of problems and inconsistencies at the design stage. Fundamental changes which are introduced at the concept stage would eliminate the need for numerous alterations of design documentation.
