Your plans first. Our concept designs if you need them.

Several designs start from a given footprint — three metres wide, four, six, ten — and look for what it becomes possible to organise inside: stair, risers, wet rooms, openings and the walls useful to stability.

Party walls are not an attribute of these designs: they are a possibility within the brief. Where they exist, the separations must be designed for their structural, acoustic and fire functions; their build-up cannot be inferred from the architectural plan.

The collective housing designs and the facilities are there to discuss organisation, repetition, circulation and variants of a brief. They do not mean that a building visible on a rendering constitutes a standard LSF structure that we would offer as it stands.

For a collective development or a facility, the number of storeys, the circulation, the loads, the stability, the services, fire and any hybrid solutions are assessed before any structural conclusion.
