Our Vision Statement
ARE YOU ABOUT TO MAKE THE HUGE COMMITMENT NEEDED TO BUILD OR RENOVATE A BUILDING
Here is a list of the critical points to base your decision on.
1) Does the designer listen to what I want . As opposed to pushing their ideas . Are they a good listener?
2) Is this Designer honest and fair - this is critical in business, Building always has issues that need resolving and problems will arise. When this happens it must be resolved with integrity.
There are so many ways complicated Architecture can waste money. We strive for the Art of simplicity. Easy to construct = easy on price.
3) Can this designer actually design beautiful buildings .This question should be highest priority. Why ? Hard facts are if the building is beautiful the buyers want to pay a lot for it. Simple, good design adds a lot more resale value and holds a strong demand in a market. Why do you think the coolest looking cars sell so well. The proportions/shapes , style , colours , function, details, materials, are critical to achieve what we call the X factor - timeless design. People will spend money on the X factor. Boring un-imaginative is not Architecture. This requires learned applied design principles/skills. Its Art - no different to a seasoned musician whom has done their time learning the Art.
I spent 8 years full time at university to learn good design . I completed 2 Architectural Degrees and 1 Associate Diploma in Architecture. 1 Advanced Trade Certificate in Sheet Metal Engineering.
Your asset must become a marketable product of high value. We understand the value of “less is more” or the Art of simplicity. This is a real virtue when dealing with such large construction costs. Our challenge as the designers is to create beauty in the building with less construction complications.
4) Can this company show me a good example of a timeless design. ? Yes we would love to... just ask.
What is good design and beautiful style ?.
By applied study of the famous "Architect legends of Architecture. I believe Architecture to be an applied Art" you can feel/see when it is well done and harmonious and not imposing and out of balance. Are you being sold a bad design. Don't let a skilled talker convince you when you know is not a good result. Be wary, Intelligent and concerning. Please be ware there is a lot of bad designers in the industry. Bad design = low market value.
Good design requires knowledge or study of design principles combined with years of disciplined application.
The Architects I have followed are masters of simplification. Meaning simplicity in ordering of shapes , resolution, practical functionality. Designers need to consider the design in 3D like the great workings of a sculpture. Good architecture is also an intentional response or reaction to the real forces acting on the environment.
Environmental - Sun/ Air flow/ Views/ light/ Spatial requirements of users /Durability
Housing social/ Occupant needs. Community eg: can this building create community as well as connection to nature. Does the environment support specific community gathering spaces?. The modern kitchen as the center feature that has a connection with the living room is one example that answers this well.
Even though the modern car seems to demand a huge locked/enclosed space ? Why I don't understand, as a well designed carport is plenty.
Cat Stevens song- You can build your sky scrapers to the clouds BUT where do the children play. Architecture cannot lose its soul.
Access - cars/ pedestrian/ view shafts/public and private space.
Cost to build - Feasibility= sales price if profit is to be created or end value known.
Building codes - District Planning rules satisfied, The many NZ building codes to comply with.
Market forces - what market are you trying sell to.
Design principles- materials used - applied attention to detail. Proportions are critical
Culture and History - of the building and of the occupiers.
Artistic creativity - A critical aspect of inventive thought. To question the "normal ways of doing "and ask can this be improved . Thinking outside the square .
At BuiltArt we create strong relationships with our clients - trust and integrity is critical .
To understand our clients needs is a creative listening process.
Artistic expression - this is a combination of the designers visionary ideas and creative process applied through critical design principles. A good visual result requires something to be refined with higher effort. A cyclical process of changes.
To materialize the client ideas combined with our own creativity into a functional and aesthetically beautiful building. To create timeless Architecture that will transcend the cycles of fashion. Yet be fashionable to the highest degree for future users.
Contemporary-unique -timeless design
Our buildings sit in harmony with their environment .Frank Lloyd Wrights writings on architecture "Organic Architecture " gives us strong guiding principles of design to apply.
"Love Architecture so much that you will not allow yourself to do substandard work, you become your toughest critic " - Frank Lloyd Wright ..was so right.
Frank was also famous for saying "you can change your design with a pencil eraser now, or a sledge hammer on site" , get it right now as Architects crimes are permanent.
With my 45 years experience in the industry your greatest investment is to be trusted in our care.
We offer a first meeting in our office free for you to discuss your project.
All our staff at BuiltArt Ltd hold a university degree in Architecture .
Our skills are always being further trained to advance us as professionals.
