01
Understand
Site / Context / Zoning / Systems
Identify the physical, regulatory, environmental and organisational forces acting on the project before deciding what the architecture should become.
How I move through a project.
The tools change from project to project, but the logic is consistent: understand the forces at work, test alternatives, design from what those tests reveal, then resolve the idea through coordination and detail.
02
Test
Options / Feasibility / Performance / Comparison
Translate those constraints into scenarios that can be compared. Massing, capacity, spatial options and environmental analysis expose both limits and opportunities.
03
Design
Form / Programme / Space / Experience
Use what the analysis reveals to organise programme, shape form and develop spatial relationships that respond clearly to site and use.
04
Resolve
Detail / Coordination / Documentation / Buildability
Carry the idea through technical development, coordination and documentation so the work becomes increasingly precise, coherent and buildable.
