Embarking on an architectural project in Marrakech is an exciting journey that blends the city’s rich cultural heritage with modern innovation. At Nova Architectura, we are dedicated to making this journey as smooth and rewarding as possible for you. In this article, we’ll walk you through our comprehensive architectural design process, ensuring your vision is brought to life from concept to completion.

1. Initial Consultation and Site Analysis

Your journey with us begins with a detailed consultation and site analysis. We believe in understanding your vision and the unique characteristics of your site.

• Client Consultation: We’ll meet with you to discuss your goals, preferences, and requirements. Your vision is at the heart of our design process.
• Site Analysis: Our team will conduct a thorough analysis of your site, considering its topography, climate, and surrounding context. This helps us identify potential challenges and opportunities that will influence the design.

2. Conceptual Design

Based on our initial discussions and site analysis, we develop a conceptual design tailored to your vision and Marrakech’s architectural heritage.

• Design Concept: We create sketches and preliminary designs that reflect your goals. This stage focuses on the overall form, style, and layout of the building.
• Sustainability Considerations: We integrate eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient solutions into the design to promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact.

3. Schematic Design

In the schematic design phase, we refine the initial concept into more detailed drawings and plans, keeping you involved every step of the way.

• Floor Plans and Elevations: We develop detailed floor plans and elevations that illustrate the spatial arrangement and exterior appearance of the building.
• Material Selection: Together, we choose materials that complement the design and adhere to local building standards and cultural aesthetics.

4. Design Development

As we move into design development, we incorporate your feedback and address any technical requirements, ensuring the design is both beautiful and functional.

• Detailed Drawings: We produce detailed architectural drawings, including sections and elevations, providing a comprehensive view of the project.
• Structural Engineering: Our collaboration with structural engineers ensures the design is structurally sound and meets all safety regulations.

5. Construction Documentation

The construction documentation phase involves creating the technical drawings and specifications needed for the construction process, ensuring everything is ready for a smooth build.

• Construction Drawings: We prepare detailed construction drawings that guide the building process, including dimensions, materials, and installation details.
• Specifications: We develop a comprehensive set of specifications that outline the materials, finishes, and construction methods to be used.

6. Permitting and Approvals

Before construction can begin, we handle the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities, taking the hassle out of the process for you.

• Permit Applications: We submit the required documents and applications to obtain building permits and approvals.
• Compliance Checks: We ensure that the design complies with all local building codes, zoning regulations, and environmental standards.

7. Construction Phase

With permits in hand, the construction phase can commence. We work closely with contractors and conduct regular site visits to ensure your project stays on track.

• Contractor Selection: We help you choose experienced contractors who can execute the design to the highest standards.
• Site Supervision: Our team conducts regular site visits to monitor progress, address any issues, and ensure that the construction adheres to the design and specifications.

8. Project Completion and Handover

The final stage of the process is the completion and handover of your project, ensuring everything meets your expectations.

• Final Inspections: We perform thorough inspections to ensure that the building meets all design and quality standards.
• Client Walkthrough: We conduct a walkthrough with you to review the completed project and address any final adjustments.
• Handover: We officially hand over the keys and relevant documentation to you, marking the successful completion of your project.
