Interior Design

Understand and document the requirements and goals of the project. This includes the purpose of the building, the needs of the users, and any specific constraints or regulations that must be adhered to.

Evaluate the site where the building will be constructed. Consider factors such as topography, climate, vegetation, and existing structures. This analysis helps inform decisions about placement, orientation, and overall design.

Develop a conceptual design that outlines the overall vision for the project. This phase involves generating ideas, exploring different design options, and establishing the basic form and spatial relationships.

Refine the conceptual design into a more detailed representation. This phase includes rough sketches, floor plans, and elevations that begin to illustrate the look and feel of the project.

Further develop the chosen schematic design, adding more detail and addressing technical aspects. This phase involves refining the floor plans, sections, and elevations, and considering structural, mechanical, and electrical systems.

Create detailed and precise drawings and specifications that will be used for actual construction. This phase involves finalizing the design, specifying materials, and ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations.

If the project involves multiple contractors or builders, there is a phase where bids are solicited, and negotiations take place before the construction contract is awarded.

Oversee the construction process to ensure that the design is being implemented according to the plans. This involves site visits, addressing any issues that arise, and collaborating with contractors.

Assess the performance of the completed building after it has been occupied. This feedback loop helps architects understand how well the design met the needs of the users and identify areas for improvement in future projects.
