Feasibility Study Sketches

These sketches are part of a feasibility study report we produced showing initial ideas for a collection of farm buildings.

At the start of a project we will carry out a feasibility study for our clients. This is a tool through which we can begin to understand the site, develop the client’s brief and explore the range of opportunities for a project.

Sketching plays an important role in our early design process to quickly generate, test and present ideas. We usually develop a couple of different sketch schemes that help focus the direction going forward.
