New Constructions

MATH architects designs homes and buildings that excel in spaciousness, simplicity, attention to detail, and functional clarity. A new construction project offers a unique opportunity to create a custom design tailored to your preferences, the location, the plot, and the future. We guide you through the entire process, from formulating a program of requirements, through the initial sketches, to completion. We create sustainable, well-thought-out, and aesthetically compelling new-construction architecture.

New construction requires creativity, technical expertise, knowledge of regulations, cost awareness, and insight into the entire construction process. That is why we take an integrated approach, seamlessly combining design skills with specialized knowledge.

The architect translates your programmatic requirements into a design that functions logically, feels pleasant, and fits within the available budget and applicable regulations. The process does not begin with the design itself, but with a thorough analysis of the site and the constraints. This involves examining the characteristics of the site, its orientation in relation to sunlight and views, sightlines, building codes, and the desired program.

At MATH architects, this means that every project begins with a careful study of the possibilities. Based on this, we develop a design that is both architecturally and practically feasible. We translate your wishes into a clear spatial layout that aligns with your lifestyle in the case of a home, or with the identity of your company or institution. Furthermore, we combine this with a distinctive architectural signature and carefully selected materials.

Sustainable construction is a fundamental principle in this process. The result is a new home or building that is not only visually appealing but also functions effectively for decades and remains architecturally relevant.

New construction is a process that consists of several phases. We prefer to oversee these phases from start to finish and ensure clarity, structure, and control at every step.

1. Introductory meeting

We will discuss your preferences, budget, style and identity, as well as the possibilities of the plot of land. This non-binding consultation will form the basis of a clear, step-by-step plan. You will receive a phased proposal for our work.

2. Sketch Design

Based on an initial analysis, we translate the client’s wishes into a 3D spatial proposal: a volume study, lighting effects, floor plans and facades, and an architectural direction.

3. Preliminary Design

We are further developing the design and exploring alternatives. We are also coordinating with the municipality and the aesthetics committee, if necessary. Based on key metrics, we will assess the financial feasibility.

4. Final Design

The floor plans, façades, material specifications and technical parameters have been finalised. These form the basis for the environmental permit. At this stage, we also bring in a structural engineer and, if necessary, other specialists.

5. Environment and Planning Permit

We handle the entire submission process: structural design, building code calculations, ventilation, daylighting, fire safety, and all requirements for new construction, and we bring in other specialists as needed.

6. Technical Design & Construction Planning

We prepare detailed drawings and technical specifications, and compile bid documents for contractors. In some cases, contractors may be involved in the project at an earlier stage, in which case the project is carried out using a construction team approach.

7. Construction supervision

During construction, we monitor the quality, detailing, and execution to ensure that the design is realized as intended.

This full-service approach ensures predictability in terms of time, scheduling, and budget. In addition, we assist clients in selecting a contractor and choosing an appropriate contract type. This integrated approach keeps the project financially manageable and minimizes surprises during construction.
