Architecture & Design

A Perfect Balance Between Function and Design

Choosing the right Architect can mean the difference between creating an innovative masterpiece or enduring countless delays, budget overruns and an end product that doesn’t work as well as it could.

Tailored Design Solutions with You in Mind

Our team offers an ideal blend of highly skilled architects and fresh young designers to personally design each building to meet your individual needs.

We pride ourselves on getting to know, and becoming part of, your vision. We believe every project is worthy of incorporating leading design elements, whilst striving to achieve the perfect balance between function and design.

Our Architects and Designers will actively listen to your brief in order to fully understand your objectives, and in turn, provide positive solutions that are truly representative of your individual requirements.
We meet design challenges and deliver site-specific architectural plans, and designs that integrate seamlessly with the built environment.

Our methodical approach to involving clients throughout the design process ensures you end up with a finished product that you are proud of.

Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD)

The purpose of ESD is to reduce impacts in the construction and use of buildings on the natural environment, whilst improving the comfort of the inhabitants.
As it becomes increasingly more obvious that the built environment has a significant impact on the ecology of the planet, ArPM believe that Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) is a critical part of good design.

A ‘green’ design principle is adopted across all ArPM projects, within which our Architects and Interior Designers work to skilfully create designs using appropriate materials and simple planning methods – reducing reduce elements such as the transmission of heat and cold into a building which will, in turn, minimise energy use and diminish carbon dioxide production.

There are many design initiatives within the categories of management, indoor environment quality, energy, transport, water, materials, land use and ecology, and emissions that are applied to all of the projects we undertake.

3D Rendering and Visualisations

Our skilled designers at ArPM have the ability to produce high quality renders and 3D visualisations.  This can be provided at a basic level, as part of the design process and based upon complexity, or can be offered as a separate service.

Our services include:

3D Photomontage

A photomontage combines 3D modelled design with an actual photograph from the site of the proposed building. This enables us to visualise, as accurately as possible, the placement of the new building within its environment.

3D Illustration

An illustration is the creation of the entire build within the 3D modelling process. Where it is impractical to use photography, we can render the whole project as a high-quality illustration with extraordinary realism.

Shadow Diagrams

Shadow diagrams enable us to accurately determine the position of shadows cast from new and existing buildings at specific times of the day, throughout the seasons – providing elevation shadow diagrams calculated for every hour.

Interiors

Interior designs can also be rendered equally effectively in our 3D modelling process. We can provide realistic lighting systems and draw from an extensive library of furniture to complete the impression.
