Every successful project begins with a clear brief. At this stage, we define your goals, functional needs, spatial priorities, budget expectations, and any constraints that may influence your project.
I assess the site, existing drawings, planning history, and any relevant local policies to establish what is realistically achievable. This helps set expectations, reduce risk, and build a strong foundation for the next stages of design.
Brief & Preparation
What This Stage Includes
Why It Matters
• Initial consultation
• Review of site conditions and measurements
• Planning policy checks and constraints overview
• Understanding lifestyle needs, priorities, and project goals
• Refining a clear, structured project brief
• Identifying risks, opportunities, and possible limitations
A strong brief ensures the entire design process stays aligned with your vision while reducing uncertainty and unexpected costs later on.
