Our approach to delivering professional urban design services:

Upon receiving client instructions, we execute a comprehensive set of services, navigating through distinct stages to ensure a thorough and effective urban design process:

PROGRAMMING AND SITE EVALUATION

Stage 1

  • Ascertain client requirements, analyse site constraints and potential to formulate a design brief for client approval.
  • Conduct an in-depth study of existing land use in and around the project area. .
  • Investigate contextual issues, socio-cultural aspects, landscape features, and built form.
  • Examine existing infrastructure, accessibility, circulation patterns, and parking. .
  • Prepare a comprehensive report on-site evaluation, including the state of existing buildings and an analysis of circulation, activity distribution, interconnectivity, and external linkages.
  • Assess the impact of the development/re-development plan on the project area and its immediate environs.
  • Provide a report on measures needed to mitigate any adverse impact of the proposed development/re-development.
