Whether it is designing for a residential property, a multifamily development, or commercial projects, architects and designers must consider several major factors. How will the building stand out from the rest? How will the design fulfill the performance criteria for the structure? How can the design plan deliver multiple, coordinated aesthetics without compromising the integrity of the building envelope?
Ultimately, the choices and product selections made by an architect have a cascading effect that impacts the entire project team – from the installer to the contractor, to the building’s owner and its eventual inhabitants.
