Good design is no coincidence - it is a conscious decision.

Designing a building is a fine art. However, architects are not artists in the sense of the fine arts, but architects who also work according to a multitude of rules. Good design is therefore always a joint work effort between the architectural team and the client, who ultimately makes a significant contribution to the success of a project through their attitude and openness to suggestions and concepts. Architects, on the other hand, take a number of points into account when designing and developing buildings that are essential in the construction industry.

In this way, 10 ingredients of good architecture can be identified that should be taken into account by all those involved in construction:

A dwelling is a basic need of every human being. A building should fit into the urban context. Every building project has a narrative that should be incorporated into the design. The floor plan and the views must form a unit. An important focus when designing is on the space and its effect on people. This also includes the use of light. The materiality plays a special role here. The question also arises as to how materials and shapes should be combined. This leads directly to detailed planning, which is an important part of the design work.

Finally, all measures must be carried out with a certain degree of appropriateness in order to find the right and balanced architectural response to a construction task. In addition, there is the issue of sustainability, which makes a building as environmentally and climate-friendly as possible during construction, operation and later demolition.
