Let the Location Lead

There are many factors that are included in our design process when we are creating solutions. Every project site is unique, and each will have different external and internal factors that affect the final solution. We don’t just look at the site alone, we take a broader view and ask related questions. What are the surrounding uses? What are the environmental conditions (sun exposure, wind direction, etc.) Are there views from and into the site? Once we survey thoroughly and have the answers at hand, we can take the artistic paint brush to mitigate any technical issues.

We’re always interested in how the site will be used – how people will move around, getting from one area to the other. What programmed elements will be suitable for the site? How can we best incorporate all the elements the client wants to include?

In the end people will let you know if the design works or if it doesn’t- and if they like it or not. You can make your best effort to layout the perfect solution, but the end users will let their participation do the talking on the site. People are like water and will always take the easiest path- which can teach us invaluable lessons.
