Today, each of us has the opportunity to realize our most daring dreams of the design of our own apartment. Of course, with the help of a designer. The stereotype has strengthened that it is very expensive, and only quite wealthy people can afford the author’s design, and there are very few good designers.
However, there are a lot of offers on the market from various levels of designers, the main thing is not to be mistaken in your choice. Experts advise choosing not a designer, but an architect, but before starting to cooperate with him, it’s good to familiarize yourself with this portfolio.
Archproekt director Anna Iskierdo claims that a specialist who is engaged in the design of your apartment and architectural work should be called an architect. And the main criterion when choosing an architect, in her opinion, is precisely the list of his works and their quality. Anna does not advise not resorting to the services of people who call themselves designers precisely because numerous courses that offer their educational services today allow everyone to become a “designer” to everyone who does not really make a good specialist.
The architect first needs to measure the premises in which he plans to work, create a plan, only after that the architect will begin to develop planning solutions.
The architect must provide three or four layout options with various options for arranging furniture. Your further cooperation with the architect will continue on the basis of a sketch that you will choose.
All his further work depends on the first stage of cooperation with the architect. At the same stage, all the necessary furniture, light and plumbing are selected, materials are selected.
At the second stage, drawings of the layout of electrical equipment and household equipment, plumbing and ceilings are drawn up. If necessary, then a drawing of author’s furniture is compiled separately.
An important stage in working with the architect is the visualization of the project. It is good when it is performed at each stage of work with a specialist, since it allows the customer to have the right idea of the final stage of work and adjust his order in time, discussing it directly with the architect.
It is important to observe supervision of work.
