Zone 04 / Voices

on the line.

Notes from the people we have drawn with — clients, peers, a former tutor. Pinned to the wall, in no particular order.

note · 01 / 04 intake / first call

They opened a shared canvas, sketched our kitchen in front of us, and then asked questions we had never thought to ask. We left the call with a better house.

note · 02 / 04 remote consult

I sent a photo of a sloped clearing and three sentences. Two days later I had a plan, a section and a render that looked exactly like the place I had imagined.

note · 03 / 04 virtual presentation

What I appreciated most: nothing was hidden behind a PDF. Every revision happened live, in a browser, in front of us. The project felt ours from the first day.

note · 04 / 04 external review

An honest, careful young studio. They draw less than they think, which is — for an architect — the highest compliment I can offer.

Zone 05 / Process

Four phases,
one continuous draft.

A project is never finished,
only issued at intervals.

Phase I

Signal

You send a brief. A site, a feeling, a constraint. We respond with questions.

Phase II

Sketch

First volumes, first plans. Drawn live in a shared call, refined async.

Phase III

Model

The project becomes navigable — a 3D scene you walk through from your browser.

Phase IV

Set

Drawings are issued: plans, sections, elevations, renders. Ready to build.

Zone 06 / Transmit

Send us
a site.

A photo, a sketch on a napkin, a coordinate. We respond within 48 hours with a first reading of what could be built there.
