Client Centered Architecture

Client-centered design is an approach to designing buildings and spaces that places the needs and preferences of the client at the forefront of the design process. This approach requires architects and designers to work closely with their clients to understand their goals, objectives, and vision for the project, and to create a design that reflects their unique needs and preferences.

At Bons, we consider client-centered design particularly important because buildings and spaces are often designed for specific purposes and functions, and the needs of the occupants can vary widely depending on the intended use. For example, a hospital will have very different design requirements than a commercial office building or a residential home. By prioritizing the needs and preferences of our clients, we can create buildings and spaces that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and engaging for the occupants.

"Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design."

Stephen Gardiner

The client-centered design approach involves a collaborative and iterative process between our architects/designers and the client. This process begins with an initial consultation, where the we seek to understand the client's vision, goals, and budget for the project. The architect/designer then develops design concepts and presents them to the client for feedback, and the process continues until a final design is agreed upon.

Client-centered design can also involve the use of technology such as virtual reality or 3D modeling to help the client visualize the design and make informed decisions about the project. This approach can result in a more efficient and effective design process, as well as a more successful project overall.

In summary, we strongly believe that prioritizing the needs and preferences of the client in the design process is paramount. Client-centered design is an approach to architecture that has served our clients well in realizing their unique vision and goals.
