What does an architect do?
Think of an architect as the head of your home’s design and build team, that may include interior designers, structural engineers, landscape architects, building surveyors and builders.
‘Architects are the only people in the building industry that are regulated to manage an entire project, from design and through the whole construction process,’ says Albert Mo, director of Architects EAT.
‘While we are the mastermind behind the aesthetic and pretty spaces, more importantly we are the logical mind who processes your wishes to combine with building regulations, sustainability and budget, to arrive at the end result.’
Architects are also problem solvers, possessing a unique skillset that’s both creative and technical.
‘We get to use both the right and left sides of the brain to create elegant solutions to spatial problems,’ says Antony Martin, director of MRTN Architects. ‘We have the capacity to creatively resolve technical challenges and use technical know-how to bring creativity to life.’
