Design-review preparation

Professional review requires a clear account of a design’s context and decisions as well as the proposal itself. Working with the project designers, we prepare the architectural rationale and presentation so that objectives, relationships with the site and significant choices can be understood.

Scope of service

How we help

01

Clarifying the architectural rationale

We consider how the proposal relates to the scale, character and use of its surroundings. The main reasons for the layout, massing and functional arrangement are brought together, with particular attention to choices affecting townscape or the retention of existing architectural value.

02

Coordinated presentation materials

We organise the written and drawn materials with the project designers. The site context, development programme and design proposals form a coherent presentation. Significant issues are supported by appropriate explanation and clear visual material.

03

Preparing for professional discussion

We identify points needing explanation or further work and clarify possible responses with the designers. Where included in the brief, we also help interpret review comments and define subsequent design tasks. The purpose is a consistent, substantive presentation of the proposal.
