The essence of design lies in bringing poetry into the building through the surreal ideas of the esoteric. All designs at SRDA go through a rigorous process of lateral thinking, group discussions and extensive research.
​
​
Functions, program, user needs, site conditions, and climate responsive designs are understood to be pre-requisite factors that direct the course of design. In addition to this, all designs have a strong foundation of a “concept”. The initial concept is translated to the final product through exhaustive processes….
concept + research

An object, a word, a mood, an animal... any thought or idea is where the design begins. The idea is then thoroughly researched to grasp its complete potential so it can be developed into the language the design dictates.
drawings

A number of sketches are made studying the translation of the initial concept to the program. All physical aspects of the site along with the client requirements dictate the development of design at this stage.
models

The initial programmatic study and drawings are extruded to physical models to study, form, geometry, scale, proportion, light, opacity, mass and volume
iterations

The conceptual sketches are turned to iterations of drawings and models in which the design is fine-tuned with respect to the project brief.
details

Like the making and fitting of the many parts in a machine, a plethora of small, seemingly insignificant elements fitted together bring out a sense of joinery – the details. These details are very intrinsic and designed to be crafted to perfection.
mocks and samples

The physicality of the design is tried and tested with mock-ups, sampling and stenciling. This elaborate, laborious yet refreshing and fool proof process helps to acquire complete clarity on all technical constraints and construction details.
