Concept Design

The concept stage develops the building’s spatial, planning, architectural, and visual direction. The client receives a clear overview of the project, including the principal rooms, key building sections and levels, and alternative stylistic approaches for the interiors.

Design Development

This stage brings together the final architectural, construction, engineering, technological, structural, and space-planning solutions. Where required, specialist sections of the documentation are prepared in accordance with the applicable planning brief and regulatory requirements.

Construction Documentation

Construction documentation includes detailed drawings for engineering networks, building structures, and architectural solutions. These documents provide the dimensions, specifications, and technical information required for construction and installation works.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Architectural design includes concept, detailed, and interior design documentation for new construction, renovation, reconstruction, and refurbishment projects. Deka-Art offers a complete range of architectural services and can tailor the scope to the client’s requirements.

Architectural Concept

The architectural concept is suitable for clients who are still defining the scope, design direction, materials, or project budget. Depending on complexity, this stage may represent approximately 20–40% of the total design fee. It may include:

· an explanatory note describing the property

· preliminary floor plans

· schematic sections

· 3D visualizations from key viewpoints

Architectural Construction Documentation

The architectural construction package is a detailed technical set of documents coordinated with related disciplines, especially engineering systems. It forms the basis for construction and finishing works and is primarily intended for experienced contractors and engineers.

· detailed area calculations and property data

· measured plans showing equipment, furniture, and related systems

· detailed sections, junctions, elevations, and details

· specifications for construction and finishing materials

Deka-Art can provide the full sequence of services: concept development, interior design, architectural construction documentation, and design supervision throughout implementation.

ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING

Architectural planning defines the organization of space in plan view. Drawings show walls, partitions, columns, windows, doors, and the relationship between rooms and circulation routes.

The plan is developed from the client’s design brief and the physical characteristics of the building. Detailed working plans may be accompanied by a room schedule showing names and areas, as well as dimensions and clearances required for construction.

Fire-safety, sanitary, accessibility, and evacuation requirements must be considered. An ergonomic layout supports efficient use of space and comfortable movement for staff, residents, and visitors.

Our Approach

· careful study of the client’s individual preferences

· consideration of the property’s purpose, size, and structural features

· functional and comfort requirements

· compliance with applicable building regulations and standards

CONCEPT DESIGN

Before construction begins, the future building should be clearly visualized. Concept design captures the principal ideas, architectural character, and key decisions that define the project.

· preliminary area calculations and building configuration

· development of a distinctive architectural identity

· design of supporting architectural elements

· preliminary selection of construction and finishing materials

Concept design is a highly creative process that requires experience and technical judgment. The team reviews the client’s requirements, develops alternative options, and refines the chosen direction. Although concept drawings are not normally sufficient for construction, they allow the main ideas to be tested before more detailed work begins.

For houses, offices, hotels, and larger developments, the concept stage may explore alternative layouts, window and door positions, and color schemes. Strong concept documentation reduces risk during planning, construction, and later operation.

Concept Design Fees

Fees depend on the size and complexity of the property. This stage also helps establish an initial construction budget and define the requirements for subsequent design development. Investing in a well-resolved concept can reduce later financial and scheduling risks.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION

After the concept and key planning decisions have been approved, detailed construction documentation is developed. This stage includes technical drawings, specifications, and coordination of all architectural and engineering disciplines.

Key Requirements

· accurate dimensions and setting-out information

· detailed specifications for all proposed materials

· sections, junction details, and construction drawings for complex elements

· full coordination between architectural and engineering disciplines

High-quality construction documentation reduces the need for clarification and improvisation on site. It allows contractors to understand the scope accurately and gives the client a clear basis for quality control.

Design Cost and Construction Value

Compared with the total construction budget, detailed design documentation typically represents only a small proportion of the overall cost. The final fee depends on the building area, site conditions, technical complexity, and the scope of the design brief.

Deka-Art may also provide optional landscape design, ancillary buildings, fences, and small architectural structures.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN

Structural design defines the load-bearing systems and structural components that support the architectural concept. It establishes their purpose, materials, dimensions, and the measures required to ensure reliability, stability, and durability.

A typical structural package may include:

· foundation sections and material specifications

· floor and slab drawings

· roof framing plans

· roof plans

· structural frames and connection details

· building sections

· façade descriptions and finishing materials

· waterproofing, vapor control, and thermal insulation solutions

· window and door opening details

Structural Disciplines

· Steel structures

· Reinforced-concrete structures

· Timber structures

· Fabrication drawings for steelwork

Structural engineering is also required for reconstruction projects involving load-bearing walls, new openings, additional floors, mezzanines, balconies, extensions, and similar interventions.

Key Selection Criteria

· engineering and hydrogeological site conditions

· intended use of the building

· required strength, stiffness, and service-life characteristics

· local climate

· construction budget

· the client’s individual requirements

Structural calculations should be performed by qualified engineers using appropriate specialist software and in accordance with the applicable laws, codes, and technical standards.

ENTRANCE DESIGN

The entrance is both an architectural composition and a welcoming transition into the building. It creates the first impression of the organization, property, or brand and should communicate quality, identity, and professionalism.

Typical Elements

· entrance platform

· portal, steps, stairs, and railings

· external, internal, or combined entrance lobbies

· vestibule

· entrance doors

· canopies and weather protection

The design must address both appearance and performance, including protection from weather, safety, accessibility, comfort, thermal insulation, acoustic performance, and efficient use of space.

Design Process

The process begins with a review of the client’s objectives. A concept is then prepared with drawings and proposed materials. Once the concept is approved, detailed construction documentation is developed. Local approval requirements must be confirmed for each project.

3D VISUALIZATION

Architectural visualization allows clients to understand the architect’s and designer’s ideas before construction begins. Realistic images communicate volume, color, texture, materials, and lighting, helping the client evaluate the proposed result in detail.

3D visualization can be used to review layouts, test color combinations, assess furniture and finishes, and make design changes at an early stage. This saves time, reduces risk, and supports a more predictable construction process.

Service Scope

· interior visualizations showing the complete spatial concept in realistic detail

· exterior visualizations showing the building in its landscape and surrounding context

To begin, the visualization team typically requires floor plans, equipment and furniture layouts, lighting information, proposed finishes, reference images, and a clear design brief.

Factors Affecting Cost

· project complexity

· delivery schedule

· level of detail

· number of images and viewpoints

· quality and completeness of the source information

Professional visualization represents a relatively small part of the design budget but provides significant value by reducing misunderstandings and allowing decisions to be made before construction.

FINISH AND MATERIAL SELECTION

Material selection is a critical stage of the design process. The quality, performance, and appearance of the finishes influence both the visual result and the long-term durability of the interior.

Typical Categories

· floor finishes such as timber, laminate, resilient flooring, and tile

· wall finishes such as plaster, wallpaper, decorative panels, and paint

· ceiling systems such as plasterboard, stretch ceilings, paint finishes, and decorative moldings
