Discuss your project05How we work
A clear idea. A considered path.
A continuous conversation between the site, the brief and the drawing.
Read the place
Climate, street, orientation and cultural context form the starting point.
Define the brief
We turn needs into spatial relationships, priorities and a clear programme.
Test the idea
Proportion, volume and light are explored through drawings and studies.
Resolve the building
Architecture, structure and services develop as one coordinated design.
Carry it through
Details and construction documentation give the design a clear path to site.

06Why DARA
Architecture that belongs.
We look for the decisions that give a building purpose: how it meets its place, supports its users and holds together in detail.
Place comes first.
Climate, context and cultural life inform the architecture from the first sketch.
Designed around life.
Privacy, light and the everyday use of space give the plan its logic.
The detail holds the idea.
Design and technical coordination stay connected, from concept to drawing review.
