The adventure that awaits us is full of opportunities and challenges, and we look forward to facing it together. Thank you for your understanding and collaboration in this crucial step of our shared journey. We are eager to start this exciting adventure together with you!

PRE-DESIGN

The PRE-DESIGN phase is a crucial stage where we will closely collaborate with you to define the key objectives of the project. Together, we will construct the development model that was presented and agreed upon at the time of contract signing.

  • KICK OFF MEETING
    We will begin with a preliminary meeting, a KICK-OFF MEETING, during which you will have the opportunity to meet the design team and your primary contact, who will assist you throughout the project development process. In this phase, we will establish fundamental management goals for the success of the design process.

  • VISION WORKSHOP
    We will then proceed with a VISION WORKSHOP, where we will meet with your team to gather feedback from stakeholders. This will allow us to fully understand their needs, thus guiding future design decisions.

  • BENCHMARKING TOURS
    To finalize this phase, we will undertake BENCHMARKING TOURS—a market research exploration of comparable projects. This approach will assist us in visualizing potential models to address your project and guide you toward the most innovative solutions available in the market. The insights gained from similar projects will inform our decision-making process and ensure a strategic approach to your project.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

We'll collaborate closely, organizing workshops to approve project phases jointly. This active engagement ensures alignment with your expectations. Through these workshops, we'll address every aspect, seeking a shared understanding at each step. It's a crucial opportunity to make key decisions and ensure the development path aligns with your needs.

  • MOODBOARD
    We will create a document that provides you with a clear understanding of the initial project idea through visual inspirations. The MOODBOARD will be a valuable tool for communicating and sharing the desired aesthetics and style for your project.

  • CONCEPT DESIGN
    We will translate the vision and mission of the project into a tangible concept, giving life to the essence of the project. The CONCEPT DESIGN will serve as the starting point for the creation of concrete and innovative solutions.

  • KICK OFF MEETING CONSULTANT
    We will involve the team of external consultants in this phase through a KICK-OFF MEETING CONSULTANT. This meeting will initiate the integrated planning process and analysis of performance targets that we aim to achieve with the project.

  • SCHEDULE&MILESTONE
    We will review the project schedule, sustainable strategies, and the available budget. Clearly defining deadlines and interim objectives will be crucial to keeping the project aligned with the set goals and ensuring structured progress.
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
POST-OCCUPANCY

This phase aims for the artistic supervision of the construction site to ensure that the project is implemented according to the original guidelines.

  • SITE VISITS
    We will conduct regular site visits to ensure that the project's implementation reflects the initial vision. This supervision process will ensure adherence to details and quality in execution.
