OUR
PROCESS.
At Sekera Design, we believe that a thoughtful, structured, and iterative approach is key to creating exceptional architecture.
Our process is guided by a clear framework that blends creativity with precision, ensuring every project is explored in depth and refined to its fullest potential. This method allows us to deliver designs that are not only functional and beautiful, but also deeply responsive to each client’s needs and vision.
Here’s an overview of how we bring ideas to life.
1. SITE INVESTIGATION
We start by delving into the intricacies of the site, meticulously examining its topography, orientation, climate, and surrounding environment. Through careful observation and analysis, we gain valuable insights into the site's limitations, opportunities, and potential. We conduct comprehensive assessments to identify key factors that may influence the design process; whether it's assessing and understanding regulatory constraints, or considering environmental impacts.
2. CONCEPT DESIGN / 3D VISUALIZATION
Our conceptual design process is a collaborative journey, where we work closely with you to understand your vision, aspirations, and functional requirements. Through thoughtful exploration and iteration, we transform your ideas into tangible concepts.
Using state-of-the-art software and design tools, we can also craft detailed 3D models that provide a vivid representation of your project from every angle. These dynamic renderings breathe life into the design, allowing you to explore spaces, textures, and lighting scenarios with unprecedented clarity and realism.
3. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Our design development process begins with a comprehensive review and refinement of the initial design concepts. Working closely with you, we explore various design options, evaluate practical considerations, and seek opportunities for optimization and enhancement to the design.
As the design evolves, we place a strong emphasis on engaging builders and construction professionals early in the process. By involving builders from the outset, we ensure that our designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but practical, buildable, and cost-effective.
Collaborating with builders allows us to obtain valuable insights into construction methodologies, material selections, and project scheduling. Through ongoing dialogue and consultation, we leverage the expertise of builders to refine our designs, identify potential challenges, and develop solutions that streamline the construction process and minimize risks.
4. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION (BA)
Our documentation process begins with a comprehensive review of the design intent and project requirements. We collaborate closely with clients, consultants, and other stakeholders to understand project goals, objectives, and unique considerations. This collaborative approach ensures that our documentation reflects your vision while meeting regulatory requirements and industry standards.
