![]() These shapes are then connected with lines to indicate how the different spaces are related to each other. Typically, the diagram uses simple shapes, such as circles or squares, to represent different rooms or functions. The 3D Computer Model (such as the one pictured above) is created to help the client to really visualize the plan.At its most basic level, an architecture bubble diagram is a drawing that represents the functional relationships between different spaces or areas within a building. Anyone can plan out a structure, but creating a layout that is practical, has excellent functionality, and is customized and unique to the individual client – this requires talented Architects. In this step the design is rendered in three dimensions to convey volume, light, materials, and massing. The Architect begins to lay out a plan that is site specific and complies with the client’s needs. Following the site visit from the second step, an initial layout is created using Topography (study/mapping of physical features in the area) and boundary surveys to develop room relationships, their orientation to views, etc. The ‘paper vision’ becomes a bit more complex, more than just a floor plan or colored sketch of the exterior of the edifice. The third step is a continuation of the second. PHX Architecture’s 3D Computer Model of Desert Mountain Contemporary Residence By making sure that both the architect and the client are on the same page, it paves the way for clear communication throughout the design process. By completing this step of the process, the architect ensures that he or she has a clear understanding of the end goal. ![]() After creating a functional space program the Architect will then take the time to walk the lot with the client, determining views and solar orientation and recognizing special features of the site (large trees, cacti, etc.) that need to be preserved and integrated into the design. In this part of the process, an initial floor plan is laid out, sketches and renderings are also created to help the client to visualize the expected end result based on their wants/needs. In this step the architect works create a 2-dimensional representation of the client’s ideas. Once the scope has been defined, the Architect will then begin to create a space program, defining the size of each room and ultimately figuring out if the program fits within the desired size of the edifice. The next step in the design process is to relay the client’s “vision” on a computer screen. In other words the architect listens to the client to learn important aspects of the project, such as the number of rooms desired, the function of the space, the size of the structure, the location, the client’s most favored style of architecture, the project budget, etc.įloor Plan evolves and shows the development and refinement of the design Here at PHX we take care to act in a professional, yet approachable and friendly manner as we truly care about each one of our unique clients and desire to provide them with the best possible service we can.Īfter getting to know the client, the Architect then works to determine the “scope” of the project. This initial, introductory step is perhaps the most important of them all as it sets the tone for the rest of the project. After being assigned to a project, each of our architects takes the time to sit down with the client, help them to feel comfortable, and instill a sense of trust – building a relationship between architect and client. The very first step of the design process is to get to know the client and establish a relationship with them.
