Under her breath a client whispered, “I wanted an architect that designs with me. I could have told [my ex-architect] within two minutes that what they were proposing didn’t fit our brief... but they spent six weeks developing it!”
Sam’s relief at finding someone she could finally design with came during a 1-hour Zoom meeting with me.
Together we brainstormed three solutions for thermally protecting a west-facing view. (Sam preferred the lower-intervention option of louvres to a protected balcony.)
Then we mapped out two locations for a kitchen, and discussed a third. (I confirmed her concerns about the inefficiency of the corridor next to the kitchen, and showed how a new bench arrangement could work.)
Then we talked about moving, buying, building new and fitting it all in with life. In an hour. Sam felt validated and supported with really useful information.
When you workshop with an Architect GP you cover a lot of ground, fast. Ideas develop in real time, and your continuous input means there are no six-week tangents.
Accessible services are what we do.
If you’d like to cover some ground of your own, the 1-hour Architect-On-Call is a great place to start.
