Architectural Design

What is Architectural Design?

Architectural design is the process of creating a building or living space that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. It’s a combination of creativity and practicality. Home remodeling and custom home construction are just two examples of projects that require architectural design. Although the design process can vary, depending on which type of project you’re planning, some common principles apply across the board. Successful designs incorporate balance, rhythm, emphasis, proportion, scale, movement, contrast, and unity. The goal is to create an attractive building or space that’s also highly useable.

Additionally, architectural design involves the creation of plans, schematics, and documentation necessary for construction. Improper or inadequate architectural design can cause a range of issues, from construction headaches to permitting delays.

Why is good architectural design important?

Architectural design is important because it’s the fundamental basis for any construction project. A successful design ensures that the overall project meets the needs of everyone involved, including clients, designers, contractors, and end-users. Good design creates buildings that are visually pleasing, functional, safe, and durable. It considers the balance between aesthetic wishes and the realities of things like load-bearing walls, site restrictions, or budgetary limitations. Good architectural design reflects a solid understanding of construction basics and visual design principles.

Architectural design can also address issues of sustainability and energy efficiency. Designing with these issues in mind can help reduce a building’s carbon footprint while creating a visual impact at the same time. At Lidda Design, our team is experienced with green technology, smart homes, and environmentally friendly designs.

How does the architectural design process work at Lidda Design?

Our first step is to sit down with you and discuss your ideas. What would you like to see in the final design? Do you have specific needs we must address? Is sustainability a concern? We’ll discuss your budget and look at ways you can save money. We also look at any site restrictions or limitations, like historic district requirements, that will affect your project. After we have a solid grasp on what you’d like to see, we’ll present you with a concept that we can refine as needed. Once you’re happy with the design, we’ll generate plans.
