After getting familiar with the project documentation, it is necessary to take pictures of the dimensions of the site and its architectural and structural features. Accurate measurement saves future design and implementation errors.
We prepare drawings on which we discuss future layout and individual needs of each client. We offer the client different creative styles, color solutions and discuss all the brief requirements.
Expertise:
• Full analysis of submitted documentation
• Filming of the site
• Coordination with responsible persons and other contractors on
project (draftsman, main contractor and subcontractors)
Results:
• Site zoning
• Identification of key spatial areas
• Reference solutions and images
This is where we submerge ourselves in the ”big idea” and we furthermore start defining the overall framework of the project on, in terms of form, function, operational effectiveness and buildability.
We take a creative approach with an effort to translate the boundaries of our clients´ expectations to create amazing and recognizable concepts. But we also develop suggestions from which to select a design concept that is individual and distinctive.
Expertise:
• Looking up the global trends
• Preparation of initial designs and indicative budgets
• Coordination with other participants – draftsman, principal contractor, subcontractors
• After the projects approval – submit budget and linear schedule for implementation
Results:
• 3D modelling
• 3D renderings – photorealistic computer-generated images of the project solutions
At this point, our design team begins detailing the design elements.
From the “big idea”, we begin to define multiple subordinate ideas that come together to convey the individuality of the project – spatial, zonal and ergonomic. We achieve the best possible design solution.
Expertise:
• Working conception
• Analysis of the costs
• Communication with the client
Results:
• Key elevations
• Key interior elements
• Specifications about the materials used
• Choose and specifications of the furniture
• Coordination
At the detailed design stage we develop documentation drawings and material specifications, which are approved at the schematic design stage. We start with the key elements of the design and after evaluation of their costs, we make a selection of additional elements and materials that complement the costs within the set budget. The final result is a detailed set of drawings and material specifications that meet the overall layout and volume of the space.
Expertise:
• Selection of materials and their specifications
• Detailed drawings of the project within the approved budget
• 3D photorealistic renderings with the final selections materials and colors
• Coordination of the schedules
Results:
• Photorealistic computer-generated images of the project
• Drawings and specifics for proceeding to production
We are adding the next level of precision and refinement in the detailed design results, by taking any unique or atypical conditions of the site and reflecting changes by the client or budget framework.
The finished product is a detailed set of drawings which cover the overall layout and volume of the space – all elements and materials selected, coordinated with the client and the main contractor.
The project nomenclature is the basis for the implementation of all elements of the design, by us or selected by our subcontractor.
Expertise:
• Set of drawings
• Confirmation of costs
Results:
• Selection of furniture
• Coordination with consultants
• CAD and PDF blueprints
We monitor the whole process of production, delivery and installation of the individual elements, performed by internal structures and when individual elements are outsourced to our partners.
At this stage, the project manager observes the quality of the installation. Decisions in changes are necessary in order to follow the project’s specifications.
Expertise:
• Presence on-site
• Quality control
• Coordination of deliveries
• Resolving tasks arising on-site
Results:
• Organizing deliveries
• Capturing of the fulfillment process
• Documenting the occurred happenings
OFFICE -
The projects phases:
Client: | UBB Member of the KBC Group |
|---|---|
Location: | Sofia, Ring Mall |
Size: | 160 sq.m. |
Architectural photography
Filming of the facility /photo, sizing/
Being familiar with the documentation of the site, we capture
all the necessary dimensions and note the architectural
features.
We prepare a layout (architectural pad) on which we discuss
layout options, functionality and specific requirements for a
bank office.
Furthermore we suggest various effective and creative
solutions, keeping in mind the bank´s provided manual/brand
book.
The result: After a fully implemented analysis of the
documentation received, room dimensioning, meeting and
coordination with the client – we identify the key areas and
offer reference solutions. Moreover we also prepare sketch
drawings.
Conceptual design
Meeting of idea, assignment from the side of the client and the possibility of realization
The “big idea” is now already a fact and it's time to define the
overall project framework in terms of form, function,
operational efficiency and buildability. By taking a creative
approach, we create an individual, recognizable and modern
solution for a bank office.
Result: After researching global trends for a modern and
efficient bank office, we prepare a project and an indicative
budget. We also communicate with the client. With a brave
selection of an option, we prepare a detailed budget and a
linear timeline for project implementation. For the
convenience of the client, we create a 3D model of the site
and generate photorealistic images of the approved
conceptual design.
Schematic design
Building a bridge between concept and reality
Our design team develops the architectural elements. We
drive into the “big idea” and define multiple subordinate ideas.
These make it possible for the office to gain it´s personality –
dimensional, zonal, ergonomic and tailored to the bank´s
standards to achieve the best and most feasible solution.
Result: After determining the key elevations and elements, we
prepare a specification of the materials and furnishing
(furniture) to be used, present a cost analysis of the
conceptual design prepared. Communicating with the client.
Industrial design analysis
Documentation, drawings, coordination
A complete documentation of the overall design and volume
of the object's space is being prepared, necessary for
coordination, execution, and its introduction into operation.
Detailed drawings required for fabrication, a list of selected
materials and specifications shall be prepared for each
element of the project.
3D renderings are generated with the final colors and
materials selected and budgeted. Final line schedules are
made for turnkey fabrication and installation of site elements.
Result: Photorealistic computer-generated images of the site
are prepared which after approval, mark the beginning of the
production process. The financial framework is approved.
One step from manufacturing
Finalising project of manufacturing
At this stage we are creating working drawings. On the one
hand, this gives the investor the opportunity to compare price
offers and on the other hand it allows us to propose
conditions adapted to his brief.
Result: Moving on to the management of the various
processes – production, logistics, procurement and
installation, overall monitoring in the implementation process.
Project Management
Quality control in production delivery and installation of the project elements
Control is the necessary assurance that performance is to the
agreed project specifications.
We supervise performance and make decisions when
changes are needed. Nevertheless we coordinate what is
needed with contractors and monitor the entire work process.
Result: Capturing the process of execution on site
documenting changes that occur. Tracking delivery of projects
according to the approved schedule.
