Conceptual Design

Our design process begins with a thorough analysis of the site's history and physical properties. We gather information from surveys and discuss your specific goals and objectives with you to create a detailed project brief. During the concept design stage, we work to translate your existing space into a design that meets your aspirations. This is a collaborative process where we brainstorm ideas and provide ongoing feedback to turn your vision into a reality. Our goal is to create a design that aligns with your brief and meets your desired outcomes.

Developed Design

During this stage, we brainstorm ideas and give ongoing feedback to ensure that our designs meet the requirements of the design brief and accurately reflect your vision. We also consider applicable planning policies and conduct the necessary research to identify the potential scope of the project.

To make the most of your existing space, we create layout plans, elevations, sections, and 3D visuals. As we progress through the concept design stage, we continually review and refine the design brief to ensure that the project is feasible. Once the concept design is complete, we prepare the necessary planning drawings to apply for planning permission.

Technical Detailed Design

During the technical design stage, Muse Architects will ensure that all aspects of your project are carefully planned and designed to meet your specific needs and preferences. We will provide detailed and accurate building regulations drawings and create a comprehensive set of tender and construction documents, including specifications for materials, finishes, fixtures, and fittings.

Additionally, we will create a 3D computer model of your project to give you a better understanding of how the space will look and feel. By the end of this stage, we will have invited builders to submit bids for the construction of your project.

What we care about the most:

Developing brownfield sites is important as it rejuvenates underutilized urban areas, conserves natural landscapes, and optimizes existing infrastructure. It also facilitates the cleanup of contaminated land, stimulating local economies and enhancing property values. Brownfield redevelopment aligns with sustainability goals, reduces commuting-related emissions, and preserves historical and architectural heritage. It addresses housing shortages and improves community amenities, encouraging local investment and fostering a sense of pride among residents.

Prior to any application, we conduct thorough feasibility studies to assess the viability of your project. This includes site analysis, environmental impact assessments, cost estimates, and an evaluation of potential risks and opportunities. Our comprehensive approach ensures that your brownfield redevelopment aligns with local regulations and sustainability goals.
