Step 3 - Initial sketch drawings / concept designs

The first series of drawings and sketches are normally very quick free hand outlines of ideas to get the process underway. We tackle this on two fronts, firstly the physical relationship of the site to the environment, the wind, the rain, sun and orientation and son on - and secondly we use what we have learnt of the site of building to influence the design principles and the zoning of the spaces and areas. We then slowly develop these into our first rough design sketch plans and models.
