We provide architectural services through an entire project from establishing a project brief to design, planning, documentation and construction and post construction evaluation. In our view, design and construction is a collaborative endavour. It starts by developing a brief together that looks at functional requirements, the things that make the outcome unique as well as the wider environmental impacts and benefits.
Design 'studios' are run within the office, where everyone at SWA is given your project brief and has a go at solving the problem. We create sketches and diagrams, and then bring them to the table to discuss what works and what doesn't. Important design elements like the facade and material combinations are thought through to make sure they work together, look good and can be maintained.
