Design
Design here means the whole sequence: measure what exists, plan against what is wanted, draw it, model it, and check it is feasible before anyone commits.
Also in consultancy
We keep an in-house design team and work with architectural practices on projects that need both. The phases below are what a design package usually contains, though not every project needs all of them.
The phases
- Measurement and planning — surveying the existing space and establishing targets.
- Drawing and CAD — the acoustic and systems design drawn against the architecture.
- 3D modelling — where the client needs to see the room, or the geometry is complex.
- Technical evaluation — simulation of sound, video and lighting, and feasibility of the proposal.
What the package delivers
Drawings a contractor can build from, a specification that describes performance rather than brand names, and the simulation output that shows why the design is what it is.
Working with your architect
We work inside the architect's programme and drawing standards, and are used to being the specialist who has to fit between structure, services and interiors.
