PROCESS

Architecture is a journey — from a single idea to a place where life unfolds.

At RDO, we guide you through every step, following the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Plan of Work.

Each stage is a creative chapter, designed to spark possibility, ensure clarity, and bring dreams into reality.

INITIAL VISIT

Step 1

Every story starts with a purpose.

Before a single line is drawn, we take time to understand your ambitions, challenges, and dreams.

We explore your site or existing building, assess opportunities, and frame the key questions:

What could this become?

How can it serve you, your community, your future?

This stage is about setting a clear and confident foundation for everything to come.

Step 2

Drawing the map.

With purpose in hand, we craft a detailed brief — the guiding blueprint for the project ahead.

Together, we shape aspirations into concrete goals, define priorities, and establish budgets and timelines.

This collaborative process captures the heart of your vision and aligns it with practical, achievable steps.

PREPERATION & BRIEF

CONCEPT DESIGN

Step 3

Ideas take flight.

This is where creativity comes alive.

Through sketches, diagrams, moodboards, and models, we translate the brief into inspiring possibilities.

We test ideas against the site's context, light, form, and spirit — discovering unexpected opportunities and crafting a design that feels both exciting and deeply grounded.

A Journey Worth Taking

At RDO, we believe that the design and construction process should be as inspiring as the building itself.
Every decision, every collaboration, every detail adds meaning.
Together, we create more than just spaces — we create places where futures unfold.
