Analysis and sustainability
The questions that decide a project get asked too late to change it. We move them to the start, while the design can still move.
What this covers
Site and context
Contours, trees, surrounding heights and materials pulled together into a site model before anyone starts drawing.
Zoning and feasibility
What is buildable at an address and what it yields, answered in the first conversation instead of the third week.
Daylight, shading and comfort
Sunlight tested while the massing can still move, so a daylight problem is designed out and not mitigated later.
Climate and heat exposure
What the building and the street outside will feel like, hour by hour, in the seasons that matter.
Energy and embodied carbon
Options compared while they can still be swapped, so the carbon case is made with the design and not written after it.
Movement and evacuation
How people move through the building when it is full, and how it empties when it has to.
