Architecture and Master Planning

Architecture & Master Planning

At TropicX Design Studio, we combine individual design skill with a collaborative thought process to create an approach to architecture and master planning that is grounded on over 25 years of collective expertise. Our vast experience in both architecture and construction allows us to refine our skills, providing outstanding results for our clients.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Client Expectations: We prioritize understanding and meeting the unique expectations of our clients.
  • Creative and Innovative Design: Our solutions are driven by creativity and innovation, ensuring the overall success of each project.

Key Stages of the Design Process:

  • Project Inception / Pre-Design:
    Initial meetings with clients and stakeholders to establish project parameters. We gather and assess key information such as site description, ownership, zoning, and planning controls. We also coordinate with other professional disciplines and conduct necessary site surveys and investigations.

  • Concept Design:
    We explore multiple design ideas through collaborative workshops, formally presenting design concepts to clients for feedback and refinement. Preliminary discussions on budgets and feasibility studies guide the design process.

  • Developed Design:
    Once the concept is chosen, we refine it into a developed design. We present the final vision to clients for review and approval, testing it against cost estimates and feasibility studies.

  • Construction Documentation / Council Approvals:
    We prepare detailed drawings and technical specifications for construction, collaborating with various disciplines including services, structural, and civil engineers. We facilitate the tendering process and assess bids based on approved designs and specifications​.
