Kicking Off the Design Process
We start each project by analyzing the context, including site characteristics and the project’s core requirements, such as areas and number of rooms. Using this information, we create a 3D model of the initial conditions and define the project’s key parameters, as well as any structural, civil or other engineering constraints. With this foundation, we model potential design directions and then hand the reins over to you!

"Architecture is the stage on which we live our lives." Mariam Kamara
You receive from a virtual reality headset preloaded with a custom, interactive 3D landscape tailored to your project, and complete with the preliminary design directions we’ve developed. And that’s where the fun begins!
So, what can you do? We give you full creative freedom to experiment in two key ways. First, using a simple and intuitive interface, you can move and rearrange non-structural elements such as walls, windows, and furniture. Second, you can explore project-specific parameters, like adjusting the number of stories in an urban planning project.
Once you and your team have had enough time to explore, we’ll schedule a meeting to discuss your insights. From there, we’ll export the geometry you’ve created and either refine the design for another round of exploration or proceed with producing the CAD drawings required for the next phase.
