Together from wish to design
Every commission for an architect starts with a question or a wish. In an introductory meeting I mainly listen to that question or wish and ask questions to get a complete picture of the situation. Where possible, this meeting takes place on the design site. At the end of the meeting I propose the work I can do to help you.
Based on that first meeting I set out in more detail what the work involves and what you can expect as a deliverable (sketches, visualisations, construction drawings, etc.). I value transparency and clear expectations, so I prefer to work with a fixed price for a project.
If you award me the commission, I start with an analysis of the existing situation and the local rules and regulations. That tells me what is and is not allowed and helps me get to know the site better.
With that information I can begin designing. Together we agree which contact moments there will be to discuss progress. In those moments I explain how I arrived at the design and we check together whether it meets your wishes.
Depending on the commission, an environmental permit may be needed before building can start. You can apply for the permit yourself or authorise me to do so for you. I then take on contact with the municipality.
Good communication matters in a design process. By being transparent and making clear agreements, we move together from wish to design.
