À propos de ce contenu audio

 Today, Jonathan and Kieron welcome Grant Shepherd from Alter Architects. Grant shares his journey from landscape designer to architect, detailing his experiences working with various property developers and the importance of collaboration in the industry. They discuss the nuances of architectural design, the significance of effective communication between architects and developers, and the challenges of balancing creativity with budget constraints. KEY TAKEAWAYS Successful property development relies on effective collaboration between architects and developers. Understanding each other's perspectives and terminologies can lead to better project outcomes. Decisions made in the early stages of a project significantly impact the final build cost and overall success. It's essential to assemble the right team and establish clear communication from the outset. Creating spaces that foster community engagement and cater to the needs of residents, especially youth, is vital. Good architecture should not only focus on aesthetics but also on enhancing the quality of life for users. Familiarity with local and national planning policies is critical for architects. This knowledge helps navigate the complexities of securing planning approvals and ensures that projects align with regulatory requirements. Efficient layouts and thoughtful design can add value to a project. Architects should focus on maximising space and functionality while being mindful of budget constraints, ensuring that designs are both practical and appealing. BEST MOMENTS "For us, that was second nature. We grew up with a father who was very creative and he was a landscape gardener." "I think the key thing is that what we come across a lot is that developers don't want to do measured surveys." "I think the critical thing is that those buildings are good returns." "You are the maker of dreams. You are turning their ideas and wishes and wants into reality."
