Architectural concept for a private house
Private house concept

Decisions before foundations.

We coordinate the site, family life and architecture as one system.

What we resolve before construction.

Not a collection of attractive images, but a coordinated set of decisions for the future home.

Site and climate

Access, terrain, views, sun, wind and planning constraints.

Family scenarios

Daily rhythm, privacy, guests, work and children growing up.

Plan and proportions

Functional links, room dimensions and movement through the home.

Architectural character

Volume, facades, materials and the identity of the future house.

This is how the thinking appears in plan.

The architect's own house is shown as evidence of design depth, not as a universal template.

Ground-floor plan of the architect's own house
Ground floor: shared life, the centre and the relationship to the site.
Upper-floor plan of the architect's own house
Upper floor: private rooms and separation of daily rhythms.

From project inputs to one strong direction.

Each action reduces uncertainty and records decisions before the next project stage.

Investigate. Compose. Record.

We study the place and brief, build and test options, then assemble an agreed concept.

Investigate

Site, constraints, climate and available source material.

Compose

Family scenarios, functional relationships, proportions and volume.

Record

Plans, facades, materials and the boundary of the next stage.

Concept fee

A clear frame before work begins.

from €5,000

For a typical private house, the reference fee is 3% of the agreed construction estimate. The exact fee depends on the site, area and complexity.
