About Us
Concepts Architectural Design combines an architect (with the
qualifications of Bachelor of Architecture and Building Science),
a builder of 30 years construction experience, and qualified architectural
draughtspeople. We look to combine the flair of great design with
the practicality of construction detailing, believing that the
detailing makes the building what it is.
Concepts Architectural Design has no particular styles or 'signatures'
for its designs. We believe that all designs must respect their
environment and meet the individual requirements of the client.
The challenge of a good architect is to treat each project as
different and unique. Considerations need to be given to every
site and client. For example; with the same site but different
clients, the planning and flow of the house will be different
due to the individual requirements. Also different styles will
be considered; conservative versus radical, and modern versus
traditional.
Conversely the same client with different sites will require
different designs, with each site offering unique aspects for
the sun (one site may have views to the North, the other to the
South), street appeal and private areas will also play important
roles. Styles will vary depending on the environment; bush versus
urban settings, and lifestyle block versus beach.
The process of the project
Initially our architect will meet with clients to discuss their
vision for their new home. We talk about the wants and needs,
thereby establishing the design brief. Following this, we will
visit the clients building site, this gives the design team a
feel for the site, the views and sun directions. The next step
is the creation of the design concepts. Once these drawings have
been prepared, we will once again meet with the client, and following
their input, develop them further.
Once the concept has been finalised, working drawings will be
completed for pricing, council consent and construction of the
project.
Further services can be provided such as organising the tender
and insite supervision if required.
