Nine built works, each documented with the drawing set, the site photographs and the budget it actually landed at — including the two that did not.
A house built around an open-to-sky court so the back rooms never need a fan.
Adaptive reuse. Trusses kept, floor cut, one new wall in the whole building.
Six classrooms, cross-ventilated, and a verandah wide enough to teach in.
Infill on a 30-foot plot. Nothing about it is new, and that was the brief.
Fourteen square metres, a rammed-earth wall and a counter at two heights.
Stone from the clearing, lime plaster, and no painted surface anywhere.
A client is not buying a render. They are buying a set of drawings a contractor cannot misread, and a site presence for the eleven months that follow. So the case studies show plans, sections and details — and the photographs are of the building, not a camera angle.
Sample practice data.
One visit, two hours. Bring the 7/12 extract and what you want the building to do.
What fits, what the bylaws allow, and what it will roughly cost. Before any design.
Plans and one section, fixed fee, two revisions.
The set a contractor can price from, plus site attendance during build.
A building is a set of decisions someone has to live with for thirty years.Practice note
Send the plot size, the location and what you are trying to build. You will get a feasibility opinion, not a brochure.
