Design Approach
Design that works beyond the drawing.
Good building design has to hold several things together at once. A drawing that looks resolved but ignores the site, the regulations or the way it will be built is not a finished design.
Every SMART BD project is developed by testing the design against the things that ultimately determine whether it works.
