  • What is the difference between drafting & architectural design?

    Drafting focuses on creating precise technical drawings and plans needed for the construction phase of a project. These detailed plans include specifications such as dimensions, materials, and layouts, which builders and contractors use to bring designs to life. 


    Architectural design, on the other hand, encompasses a broader scope, including the conceptualisation, aesthetics, functionality, and integration of the building into its environment. It considers factors like sustainability, spatial planning, and user experience. 


    While drafting is a vital component of architectural design, it serves as the technical execution of the architect’s or designer’s creative vision.

  • What is a concept design in building projects?

    A concept design is the initial stage of a building project that visualises the overall vision, layout, and aesthetics. It often includes sketches, layouts, and 3D renderings to help clients understand how the final structure will look and function. This phase allows for feedback and adjustments before moving into detailed planning and technical drawings.


    Concept designs focus on defining spatial relationships, exploring material options, and presenting innovative ideas that align with the client’s goals and the project’s feasibility. They serve as the foundation for further development, ensuring the final design meets the client’s expectations.

  • How does location impact building design?

    Location plays a crucial role in shaping a building’s design, influencing materials, structure, and orientation. Factors like climate, topography, and council regulations are essential considerations. For instance, homes in bushfire-prone areas require fire-resistant materials and specific design features, while coastal properties may need materials resistant to salt corrosion.


    Designers also assess natural light, wind direction, and views to optimise energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal. The location’s cultural, environmental, and historical context can also inspire architectural styles, ensuring the design harmonises with its surroundings.
