DESIGN

For many, the concept of the ideal design of a house consists of already formed views on their understanding of comfort and organization of life. To design houses for specific people, our architectural studio takes their habitual lifestyle as a basis and professionally organizes the space for them.

We consider it a big mistake when clients choose an architectural studio based on the cost of designing. In private residential construction, there is a rule: the cost of the project is 5-10% of the cost of its implementation.

At the same time, a well-designed architectural design reduces the amount of rework during the building construction process and saves the customer money through the rational use of materials and the selection of suppliers with the lowest margin.

As a rule, a competent project and the author's support allow the customer to save more money on the implementation of the building than he spent on the services of an architectural studio.

We are engaged in the landscape design of private, and commercial facilities and urban areas.

• We carry out research and analysis of the territory. Based on these data, we form the terms of reference - the main document for the start of design. The main tasks and the general direction of design are clearly defined there, an excerpt of the initial information is attached. At this stage, the maximum number of issues is worked out: how and who will use the territory, the challenges and strengths of the project, and the like.
• The concept of planning solution. We form the main idea and design solutions for the tasks identified in the first stage. We detail the concept and issue a draft design in the form of a master plan and an album with diagrams and visualizations. We select materials, equipment, and plants to determine the preliminary cost of implementation.
• Landscape project. The project is the main drawing, on which design solutions have already been approved by the architect, engineer, designer, and customer and all previous changes have been taken into account. We issue a total volume of materials, the main marks for the general plan and placement of stormwater inlets, the specification of the IAF, lighting elements, and green spaces. At this stage, we approve the main design decisions and the cost of implementation.
• Development of the project of Small Architectural Forms. Design of individual small architectural forms.

An increase in population, an increase in electricity consumption, and a decrease in the reserves of the Earth's energy resources make us think about creating more energy-efficient construction methods designed to reduce the amount of resources consumed. There is a need to develop concepts aimed at rational energy consumption, as well as the transition to renewable energy sources.

One of the possible solutions to reduce the energy consumption of cities, widely used in Germany, Norway, Denmark, and other European countries, is the construction of energy-passive houses.
The term "energy-passive house" (passive house) is commonly understood as a building (structure), the main feature of which is ultra-low energy consumption, incl. heating and ventilation systems. An indicator of the energy efficiency of the facility is the loss of thermal energy per square meter (kWh/m2 per year or during the heating season). For an energy-passive house, this figure should be less than 15 kWh / (m2 year).

The design of energy-efficient buildings is a hot topic. The transition to this type of building can significantly reduce the consumption of fuel and energy resources, and reduce the cost of energy supply.

What is BIM?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process based on the use of intelligent 3D models. With this technology, architecture and construction professionals (AECs) can plan, design, build and operate buildings and infrastructure even more efficiently.

In contrast to the creation of 2D, in this case, there is virtual modeling of buildings using analogs of real elements, such as walls, columns, ceilings, windows, and roofs. This allows architects to fully analyze the entire building model. Since all data is stored in a central database, any changes are automatically reflected in all drawings generated from the model. With this approach, BIM not only increases productivity enormously but also serves as the basis for better coordination of the design process.
