Architecture

Architecture begins with what has been defined.

By the time design begins, we should understand far more than what rooms are needed or how large the building might be. We should understand the place, the people, the objectives, the investment, the constraints, the priorities — and what the project is ultimately intended to become.

Only then should design begin.

A response to place.

Architecture considers relationships among:

Site and landscape
Orientation and sun
Program and movement
Proportion and space
Material and texture
Daylight and illumination
Sound and comfort
Building performance
Constructability and cost

The objective isn't a collection of features. It's a coherent architectural response to the conditions that have been defined.

From concept through construction.

Construction-phase architectural services

Architecture doesn't have to end at the drawings.

For clients seeking continuity into execution, architectural services can transition directly into HBTg's integrated Design-Build delivery.
