At NovArch Architecture Studio© we believe that there are three components to creating great architecture and delivering the best possible project:
1) Good communication to help us meet your needs
2) Discovering the art in the project
3) Fully integrated sustainability
Communication is the foundation of a successful project. Everyone comes in with different expectations about what success mean
s. We listen to you and frequently check in to make sure your expectations are always being met. The process of creating a building is both art and science; it requires a brilliant partnership between you, the contractor and us. Clear, honest and frequent communication is a basis of our philosophy and a key to a successful project. The purpose of good communication is to help us meet your goals. For others it is schedule, the process, square footage, functionality or beauty. We work with you at the beginning to clearly establish what your needs and priorities are. We keep those at the forefront of our efforts throughout the process, and do our best to help you to make informed decisions. The true purpose of architecture is to discover the art in your project. Art is what creates joy in the building and is an elegant and tangible way of supporting your life and goals. It is the vision that lends cohesion to the disparate parts. It is the spark that finds inspiration in the constraints and importance in the details. It is the true value that we bring to your project – finding the essence of the place, of the program, and of your hopes for how you will occupy and use the building.
“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” – Winston Churchill
We see sustainability not as a nice theory or a product that is tacked onto the project at the end, but as an integral component of every aspect of the process and the building. We create an integrated team approach to design as early as possible, analyzing the site and the building concept as a whole system from the start. We look at materials, quality, energy-efficiency, space, style, health, durability, the environment and your budget all at the same time. And throughout, we give you feedback so you understand the ramifications and value of your choices. We strive to create a building that works on every level and is uniquely designed to support your life, your work and your goals. Milos Novkovic,
