Good design isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good and creating spaces for people to live in. Good design crafts spaces that enhance the lives of the people that live within them. Good design establishes spaces that are versatile to be grand or intimate. Good design pushes the envelope of form and function; it seeks aesthetics and livability. Good design is cognizant and respectful of its surroundings.

Each project is a unique moment to forge something that has never been done before. No two projects are the same. Each project presents its own challenges and opportunities.
No two sites are the same. Each landscape seeks a design specific to its characteristics. No two clients are the same. Each home must be shaped by the individual needs of the eventual inhabitants.

What is BIM? Building Information Modeling!

When it comes to BIM everything starts with a 3D digital model of the building. This model, however, is way more than pure geometry and some nice textures cast over it for visualization.

A true BIM model consists of the virtual equivalents of the actual building parts and pieces used to build a building. These elements have all the characteristics - both physical and logical - of their real counterparts.

There was no space in the previous column to describe BIM in good detail, so we continue here...

These intelligent elements are the digital prototype of the physical building elements such as walls, columns, windows, doors, stairs etc. that allow us to simulate the building and understand its behavior in a computer environment way before the actual construction starts. Nevertheless with the advent of mobile technologies such as iPhones/iPads and the likes utilisation of BIM has broken out from the close circle of professionals.
