The Lookout Point Wi l d e A r c h i t e c t s The design of 3no. town houses and 3no. detached houses, to maximise the sea views and sit comfortably in context. We began by carrying out a thorough site analysis, identifying opportunities and constraints for the development. Neighbours were consulted and several concept-stage options were created. 3D modelling was used (Autodesk Revit) to construct the site and surrounding buildings, to help in the design process. Once the concept designs were agreed the 3D models were updated to produce drawings for a full planning application. After planning approval, a full technical design package was started to deliver drawings for Building Control, Tender & Construction. A similar palette of materials was used as those on surrounding buildings and a strong design theme was created across the site, to place- make The Lookout Point. 88
