Approach

What makes good work?

At Situário we seek to demystify the design process, and to offer you all relevant information when it comes to designing your project. Situário will be able to offer you guidance and clarity throughout the entirety of the design process. Our approach is one that prioritises communication and collaboration between all members of the design team.

The architecture we produce at Situário has three key objectives:

• To create spaces of value

• To create spaces that are respectful 

• To create spaces that last

This multifaceted approach to the production of architecture provides clear objectives for our studio. These objectives inform the ways we use language, how we conceive of new works, how we treat existing structures and how we collaborate with the design team. Our holistic approach to design, in turn, creates strong collaborative ties with all our clients.

Function

“Why do I need to hire an architect, when I know exactly what I want?”

The process of turning needs and desires into a built reality that will be effective and successful demands the attention, care and knowledge that only an architect possesses.

Rate

“Isn’t hiring an architect expensive?”

Hiring expert design knowledge means savings everywhere else, preventing cost overruns, delays, and unwanted surprises. Architects have several ways of calculating their fees, and we at Situário do so in a transparent and fair way.

Value

“I think my project is going to be really expensive, and I just don’t have the money for it right now”

Only by creating a detailed list of your needs and questioning the why’s and how’s of your project, will you be able to have a realistic budget for your project.

Time

“Surely this will be a job that will take ages?”

There are means of ensuring a project remains on track, by creating milestones and sticking to deadlines. Situário can help by creating a realistic programme of works that ties in to a phased project proposal.

Method

“I have never worked with an architect before and I suspect the process is too complex”

In order to help answer your needs and requirements, we have put together a clear method that starts the moment you get in touch with us.
