changing times in this pandemic - let's adapt and thrive!

Architects • 6 April 2020

It's 'all change' for everyone in these exceptional times.

designing 'live' together - but not in the same room!

As a local architect firm setup to help you through the entire design and build process we are focused on residential improvements and alterations, As an Architect, I'm here for you to discuss ideas.

Some good news and bad news from me - personal meetings are obviously not a good idea however I have a lot more time on my hands for calls and video meetings. We are all hoping for the best for each other and let's look to the future in terms of what's possible for your family home.

In terms of moving forward as a Director of a small business, I don't qualify for any shutdown aid due to criteria - so I have changed the way I work to fully digital. I'm here to help and am keeping going through these troubled times.

Flipping negative to positive as much as is possible is always my approach to design anyway. Rather than personal meetings we can have more facetime on facetime or skype for instance. Designing 'live' is always fun and we can move through the computer modeling 'dolls house' process together by sharing screens.

The scanning process is non-contact and can be done very quickly and only where necessary. The design process begins with ideas and we build together a collaborative solution over time. So let's use this time of being on lockdown to look at ideas for the future. We can start simple and create idea boards together or when more confident we can move to a visualisation of proposals.
Then when you have a vision of what's right for a project budget that suits you we can move to a design and more technical based commission based upon the visualisations.
If you have even a relatively small project in mind the design process we offer still works - here is an example of 'before and after' visualisation work. In a skype call, for instance, we can give you ideas on how to immediately improve your home. A screen capture during the call can form the basis of the alteration 'before and after' proposal.
If you have any ideas for making your home perfect - give me a call and we can set up a skype call where I can give you ideas to transform your existing home.

A balance of priorities, cost and the design wishlist.

Regular 3d scanning captures progress - enabling solutions when things are not going well on site, more preferably when things are going well. We can have a digital twin of progress for checking against suppliers.

Designing from the inside out is important to capture the activities and priorities of the family - however we must balance the exterior relative to the project budget.

It's a time of change - we need to continue working and making the most of our homes in terms of upkeep, alterations and extensions, but with social distancing? how do we safely achieve this balance?
