Phase I: Schematic Design
When working with Imagine Architecture P.C., we will explore your goals and needs for your project and collaborate with you through The Schematic Design Phase. This Phase generally sets the overall pace for the project and will dictate how the rest of the project will proceed. Once your Program has been established and agreed upon, we will begin the Schematic Design Phase. We would create two to three design options and present them to you in the form of hand or digital sketches to help you better visualize the concept plans for consideration.
What is Schematic Design?
Schematic design is part of the initial planning process, and takes place after we have discussed your overall objectives for your project. After selecting the ideal design option that you like to move forward with, we would begin the process of refining the design by preparing schematic documents which generally consist of drawings and other documents illustrating the scale and relationship of the overall building or space planning design. This phase offers you the opportunity to see how your vision has been interpreted and developed by us. Once the initial planning is complete, there will be a period of time for you to make any final adjustments or changes to the design before going on to the next phase, Design Development.
The Importance of Schematic Design
The Schematic Design Phase is an essential part of the architectural process. Not only does it present itself as the first chance to see how your proposed design will look, but also, it will give you a sense of how it holds up to the image you had in your mind. Once our design has been created for you, we can start to evaluate your budget costs for the project based upon the overall building dimensions, size of spaces, and the general complexity of the structure or methods of construction undertaken. The ultimate design will derive from a combination of numerous factors, spanning budget, environment and our architectural vision.
