Where do we begin with a new project inquiry?
Each project is unique, and exact requirements can vary. Prior to starting a project we begin the process with a introductory conference call to learn about you and pertinent project data, Basic question, such as your project thoughts, schedule, location, budget, etc. From this introductory call, we can set up a meeting to meet and discuss the specific project in greater detail. And your questions for us and how we serve our clients,
After our introductory call, we set up a meeting to review in greater detail the clients objectives and details of the project. Our goal is to first align our common objectives and as always do all that we can to ensure a process that has the very best alignment in place to serve the client.
How do we help the client?
Custom design services are important to us, However, we believe the overarching emphasis is upon being a trusted design professional. The human relationship that is developed represents a vital aspect to the success of any project.
Our work is a multifaceted effort and encompass both architecture and design services that moves well beyond the strict boundaries of architecture. These services can include but not limited to problem solving in various industries, improving business operations, enhancing work-flow and other prototype projects.
Each extraordinary project begins with strategic design. This is how we best serve the client, We have created a unique process to serve the client (“the client project book”) this simply represent a holistic and global process that goes well beyond traditional architecture and design practices. We seek answers to the right questions and develop each project story, as a pearl of great price. In addition, our work begins at the earliest stage; long before concepts and decisions are finalized
What is Strategic Design?
Strategic Design is like creating a roadmap. However Its much more than a map. It begins with a big picture approach and seeks an understanding of the nature of a problem(s). In addition, once identified, the process evolves and develops the detail of the ‘terrain’ (using the analogy of a map), These are unique attributes, from which a program is developed. Our process produces the project story we call “the client project book” , through research, and other explorative and discovery tools, the information, ideas and concepts are translated in a visual way to articulate a solution, No two projects are exactly alike, each is developed individually. This is both an art and a science that establishes a multifaceted criteria and project ‘Arc’, or solution to a problem. Unlike traditional design approaches.
Strategic Design considers a global perspective of the project that begins to shape a project based on multifaceted data and decisions gained along the path, long before it is designed. We have designed our approach to serve as both an organizational tool, and a way in which we create the underlying reason for and foundational principles that drive the design.
Are there helpful guidelines or recommendations the client can consider before starting a project?
We recommend to potential clients that they explore and understand their design preferences, budget, and scope very early on before any formal design process takes place. This can be daunting, but it’s also a wonderful opportunity to explore and discover whats possible.
In lieu of the many decisions to be made, I encourage potential clients to tap into resources we offer our client here at Arc Castle Studio, and begin with a preliminary consult or “project exploration phase”. These services help our clients with an ordered process that are geared to help them navigate a complicated process in a simple, sequential ordered way,
What steps should I anticipate in developing the project, and how long will it take?
Each project is different, and thats the exciting aspect of our work. We work with each client to develop a clear set of objectives that are based upon their goals and objectives. No two projects are ever the same.
One thing we can tell you is that our process will be unique to your needs. We promise we will never provide a one size fits all or factory like process. We will craft your project story and established the steps to make your dream a reality. .
