When nature becomes
a design partner,
architecture becomes art.

DATA REVEALS PLACE. DESIGN RESPONDS.

Data helps us understand a place, its climate, light and wind, allowing architecture to work with nature rather than against it. When nature becomes a design partner, architecture becomes art.

UNDERSTAND PEOPLE. DESIGN FOR LIFE.

Understanding people means understanding how they live, move, rest, focus and connect. We turn these patterns into spatial scenarios that support health, wellbeing, productivity and a better quality of life.

RIBA WORKFLOW

A CLEAR PROCESS. HIGHER QUALITY RESULTS.

We work in accordance with the RIBA Plan of Work — a trusted international framework that structures the design and delivery process, reduces risk and leads to better, more predictable outcomes.

01

Preparation & Briefing

Preparation and briefing — site and context study

Understanding the context, defining project goals and setting a clear brief.

02

Concept Design

Concept design — architectural massing model

Exploring options and developing an integrated concept.

Long-Term ValueSustainable and future-ready solutions.

What is RIBA?
The RIBA Plan of Work is a widely used framework developed by the Royal Institute of British Architects to organise a building project into clear stages, responsibilities and information exchanges.

BIM & Digital Delivery

ISO 19650. Structured information. Coordinated delivery.

ISO 19650 provides a framework for managing information across an asset’s life cycle. Its principles connect information requirements, responsibilities, revision control and agreed exchanges — from design and construction to operation.

01

Information Requirements

Architectural model with information requirements and technical diagrams

ISO 19650-1 · Concepts & principles
Define what information is needed, who is responsible and how it is organised, recorded and versioned throughout the asset’s life cycle.

02

Model Development

Exploded architectural model showing development from wireframe to detailed building

ISO 19650-2 · Delivery phase
Plan information production and exchange during design and construction, with agreed responsibilities, deliverables and review points.

04

Digital Handover

Completed building model with coordinated handover drawings

ISO 19650-3 · Operational phase
Maintain usable asset information for operation and maintenance, with managed updates as the asset and its information needs change.

Common Working Rules

A shared structure for models, documents and revisions.

Information Continuity

Controlled handovers help reduce information loss when teams or contractors change.

Better Collaboration

Agreed responsibilities and exchange procedures help participants work with consistent information.

RIBA + LEED + BIM / Sustainable Integrated Design

Three systems. One evidence-led process.

My approach connects project stages, sustainability targets and coordinated model information. Architects, engineers and sustainability specialists use shared inputs to test options, resolve gaps and prepare decisions for each stage review.

01

Plan the decisions

RIBAStages → responsibilities → approval

Agree the brief, deliverables and review points. Set sustainability priorities early, compare options during concept and coordination, then review design and construction evidence before handover.

02

Define performance

LEEDTargets → criteria → evidence

For projects pursuing LEED, select the applicable prerequisites and credits. Translate energy, carbon, water and indoor-environment goals into measurable requirements and a clear evidence plan.

03

Connect the information

BIMGeometry + attributes + documents

Coordinate areas, glazing, shading, material quantities and system data. ISO 19650 information management supports agreed responsibilities and exchanges; each analysis needs checked inputs and a traceable revision.

04

Test, revise & review

VERIFYAnalyse → improve → stage review

Test energy and comfort, assess material carbon, and model rainwater where relevant. The team compares results with targets, updates the design and repeats the assessment before the RIBA stage decision.

Better Design Decisions

Compare tested alternatives while changes are still practical, with architectural and engineering decisions informed by the same evidence.

Lower Rework Risk

Identify conflicting requirements and missing information earlier. Record who must resolve each issue before the next review.

Traceable, Lasting Value

Link performance claims to inputs and reviewed reports, then hand over usable information for comparison with in-use performance.

Explore the full sustainability methodology →
A proposed integration methodology, not an official RIBA–LEED crosswalk. BIM supplies inputs; validated analysis and reviewed documentation support performance claims. Applicable standards depend on the selected LEED pathway. A project stage approval is separate from independent certification.

Being engaged in creativity is already happiness, and, when the result of your work is appreciated, it brings a special joy. The constant question «maybe could I have done better?» ceases to bother for a while. And starting new projects you again feel the thirst for life.
