In the current economic climate, the demand for housing is increasing significantly. To meet this need, residential design services are also becoming increasingly common. However, not everyone possesses the necessary knowledge and experience to independently design a beautiful and functional home.

Therefore, utilizing professional architectural design services is essential to achieving your dream residence. In this article, 3A Design will clarify why architectural design for residential properties is necessary and introduce the comprehensive architectural design services we provide to our Valued Clients.

What Is Architectural Design?

Architectural design is the process of conceptualizing and developing a living space that aligns perfectly with your family’s needs, aesthetic tastes, and lifestyle. Residential design encompasses the planning of the architectural spatial layout, structure, color schemes, lighting system, and utility networks (electrical and plumbing). It shapes all the interior spaces such as the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms as well as the garden and exterior elements of the home.

During this process, architects thoroughly research the client’s requirements, including the necessary area, number of rooms, geographical location, intended use, and lifestyle. Subsequently, they propose the most optimal design solutions to meet these needs, ultimately creating a living environment that is comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.

3A Design's Architecture Department
The Architecture Department: Upon receiving the foundational project information, the Architecture Department proceeds to conceptualize the initial ideas and develop 3D perspectives. From this, they design the architectural structure and spaces, ensuring they perfectly align with the client’s requirements.

Residential architectural design is not merely about constructing a house; it is about creating an optimal living environment. It directly impacts your family’s daily life, health, mood, and overall well-being. Therefore, selecting experienced and talented architects in residential design is crucial to ensure both quality and cost efficiency.

3A Design’s Architectural Design Process

Step 1: Consultation And Site Survey

Step 1: Client Briefing and Site Investigation
The Consultation is a crucial first step for us to gather preliminary information from the homeowner, specifically relating to their construction goals, functional needs, demographics, financial capacity, and Feng Shui requirements.

3A Design will generate a dedicated Client Information Form. This standardized document, combining the homeowner’s functional needs with the expert advice of our architects, will finalize and consolidate the data, including the following categories/details:

  • Construction Purpose: The primary intent of the build (e.g., purely residential, or a combination of live-work space). 
  • Key Functional Program: The main utility areas of the house (e.g., living room, kitchen, and the required number of bedrooms). 
  • Core Design Style: The guiding aesthetic for the house, whether it will be Modern, Minimalist, Neoclassical, or another style.
  • Construction Budget: The financial investment is based on the client’s requested capacity. We provide a cost breakdown for major categories like structural build, finishing materials, and interior furnishings, giving the homeowner a preliminary financial overview of the entire construction investment.
  • Feng Shui Consultation: Our in-house Feng Shui expert will provide tailored advice to the homeowner, utilizing the Luopan compass for site investigation, based on the plot’s location and the owner’s personal information.

Following the consultation and client requirements briefing, 3A Design’s architects will verify the gathered information and directly conduct a thorough survey of the construction plot.

Land Plot Inspection
The architects from 3A Design personally visit and survey the plot of land.
  • Verify Planning Information: Check zoning and planning details based on the lot number and map sheet number.
  • Extract Land Title Data: Obtain the land title extract to determine the precise coordinates of the plot.
  • Determine Building Regulations: Ascertain local building codes and restrictions via the construction permit.
  • Assess Traffic and Access: Survey surrounding traffic flow to identify the best access direction and internal traffic paths.
  • Measure Ground Elevation: Conduct a topographical survey to determine the finished floor level and check the regional drainage system.
  • Evaluate Orientation and Microclimate: Examine the house’s orientation and crucial microclimatic factors (such as wind direction, solar exposure, etc.).

Step 2: Conceptual Floor Plan Development

Conceptual Floor Plan Design
Conceptual floor plan development constitutes the critical first phase of the design process. It involves creating essential drawings, diagrams, and visual representations to present the initial ideas and design intent for the constructed space.

Based on the information gathered during the consultation and site survey, 3A Design’s architects develop the conceptual floor plan for the project, establishing the architectural and interior design direction for your sanctuary.

The project’s floor plan serves as the solution to a complex equation with numerous variables, ensuring that all factors align with the construction goals. It is designed to appropriately divide the functional program based on usage needs, and integrate the design style seamlessly with the landscape to reflect the homeowner’s aspirations and personality. The layout is optimized to match the client’s investment capacity while guaranteeing maximum utility. It must also comply with the Feng Shui of the plot and the owner’s elemental compatibility. Furthermore, the design is flexible, featuring responsive open and closed spaces that maximize the plot’s assets, such as optimal views, sun exposure, and wind direction.

For us, the floor plan is the soul of the sanctuary and the foundation that creates a comfortable living environment for the entire family. It is a space interwoven with sunlight, breezes, shadows, and greenery, fostering a home that is both modern in style and intimately connected to nature through the integration of the Tropical Modern aesthetic.

Step 3: Architectural Perspective Design

Architectural Perspective Design
Architectural perspective design (or visualization) is the process of generating realistic and vivid illustrative images of the architectural space. This allows clients to gain a much clearer understanding of the project’s conceptual ideas and the final design intent.

Conceptual Architectural Massing: Based on the analysis of the climate, views, planning regulations, the client’s preferred design style, and the functional needs of the family members, we develop conceptual ideas for the architectural massing (khối kiến trúc) of the project.

Detailed Perspective Design: Once the massing study (biểu đồ khối) is finalized, the next step is the detailed perspective design for the entire project. This includes specifying the materials to be used, the core color palette, structural details (chi tiết cấu tạo), and aesthetic architectural details.

Architectural Lighting Design: A beautiful structure is not complete if it only looks good under daylight. Our scientific and intentional lighting design highlights the beauty of the project during the remaining 12 hours of the day, ensuring the building’s aesthetic appeal is maintained 24/7.

Phase 4: Detailed Construction Documentation

The development of construction documentation is a crucial process in any building project. It encompasses the planning and allocation of work tasks, which ensures both the project’s timeline and the quality of the final construction.

Technical Documentation Development (Step 4)

The next step in 3A Design’s process is the full implementation of the project’s design documentation. Our engineers and drafters will work to create a comprehensive set of detailed blueprints.

This documentation includes: architectural drawings, structural plans, electrical and plumbing systems (M&E), security camera layouts, solar power systems, interior design specifications, lighting design plans, and technical details.

This step is crucial, as it ensures that the entire project will be executed with precision and meets all of the client’s requirements.

Every detail must be meticulously and carefully defined and incorporated into the drawings, as even a minor error can negatively impact subsequent construction phases. This demands the focused attention and specialized expertise of our designers, engineers, and drafters, guaranteeing that every element is calculated and integrated into the design accurately and flawlessly..

  • Clear and Scientific Workflow: We provide a transparent process and schedule (bảng tiến độ), ensuring clients receive a systematic, scientific, and efficient work plan.
  • Guaranteed Timeline and Efficiency: We strictly maintain the timeline for all design work and technical drawing implementation, saving valuable time for the homeowner.

Construction Quotation

Based on the architectural design blueprints, 3A Design proceeds to perform a detailed quantity take-off for the rough construction phase, separating it into distinct individual items. Subsequently, we calculate the costs using current market prices for materials at the time of quotation to generate a comprehensive, itemized price list.

A more detailed quotation ensures greater accuracy in the client’s projected budget, minimizing any unwanted unforeseen costs or unexpected variations.
