We are practically materializing wonderful architectural formations that represent a model for harmony with customs and traditions as a way by which ARD Design Architect & Planner Consultant is distinguished in answering to the needs of our respected clients. For that reason our activities spread across our dear Country as well as the Arab Gulf countries. And that is our personal approach to the architectural design process through the different concept & design phases, until the building completion and approved by our own government post with evaluation. Some of the design phases presented here may not be relevant for a client's project type and we will walk all our clients through each design phase to help educate them about the architectural design and building process. We believe that by educating the client about the design process and how our services benefit any project, it results in a better project, a successful client. We work also with absolute care to satisfy the demands of our clients who look for works that meet their requirements with the state of the art and highest standards. The key design principles make clear the various issues the Council expects designers to take into account when drawing up proposals. ARD designers should have regard to all of the design principles listed, it is acknowledged that the relative importance of each principle will vary according to the particular circumstances of a development. It is important to note also that the 5 principles are closely related and overlap one another - particular design issues will often touch on several, if not all, of the principles. In some cases, trade-offs between competing design objectives will be required respect for context New development should integrate well with its surroundings, and take full account of site features and local character. New development should be neighbourly and, where appropriate, reinforce local distinctiveness.
sense of place New development should be designed to create a sense of place and identity. Particular attention should be paid to the design of spaces and places between and surrounding buildings
good looking buildings New buildings should be pleasing to the eye, soundly built and fit for their purpose. Particular attention should be paid to issues of scale and proportion, visual balance and order, architectural expression, detailing and the use of external materials.
sustainable construction New developments should be based on established principles of sustainable construction. Particular attention should be reducing energy consumption.
a safe and healthy environment New developments should create places where people feel safe and that are easily accessible to all.

We all love good architectural design and are constantly being influenced by it, the standard of design of new developments has a significant impact on the overall quality of our environment. It affects people’s lives on a daily basis at home and at work. Well-designed buildings enhance not only the appearance of places, and our enjoyment of them, but can deliver other benefits too. Good design makes practical and economic sense. Well-designed places function well, are easily accessible and feel safe. Good buildings are cost-effective to maintain, and provide flexible accommodation that can be adapted easily to meet changing circumstances. Good design can also deliver more sustainable forms of development, and help to avoid wasteful use of energy and materials. |

The first responsibility of the engineer is to develop more detailed quantitative information which defines the task to be accomplished in order to satisfy the goal, At this juncture the scope of the problem is defined, and the need for pertinent information is established. Generation of ideas for possible solutions to the problem is the creative stage, called the concept formulation. When great strides in engineering are made, this represents ingenious, innovative, inventive activity; but even in more pedestrian situations where rational and orderly approaches are possible, the conceptual stage is always present. The concept does not represent a solution, but only an idea for a solution. It can only be described in broad, qualitative, frequently graphical terms. Concepts for possible solutions to engineering challenges arise initially as mental images which are recorded first as sketches or notes and then successively tested, refined, organized, and ultimately documented by using standardized formats. |
