Feasibility workflow for an architecture practice, Vaud and Geneva.
Parcels found on the market, what each one can carry, and the first options compared, with the article behind every figure.
Built with an architecture practice in Vaud, starting from seven studies the practice had done by hand.
Who worked on it
1Found on the market
The workflow watches property listings, tracks price changes and opens a dossier on any parcel worth a closer look.
2The parcel and its sources
Every study starts by confirming the exact parcel, its boundary and its official and measured area, and keeps a dated copy of every official source.
3The rules, with the article next to them
A first reading of the zoning plan and the building regulations proposes the rules that apply, each with its exact reference. A second, independent review accepts or rejects each rule before any number enters the study.
4What can be built
The building envelope and the floor area are calculated from the accepted rules. Where a rule cannot be confirmed from the sources, the study says so instead of guessing.
5Options side by side
The architect draws options on the parcel and sees each one in 3D among the neighbouring buildings, checked against the rules as the design changes. The option taken forward is kept with the reasons for the choice.
