Design Process
At OZ, we believe that the process of design is vital to the success of the project. It must be an organic development that is the result of knowledge, thought, creativity and expertise. Often, we begin our design process with an intensive "Charette". Charette translates into "discovery" and that is very much what this process is about. Come to an OZ charette, and you enter a world of discovery. Walls pinned with images of what exists and what might exist. Site plans and visual images of nature, civilization, movement, lifestyles. Discussion. Creation. It is far more than just bricks and mortar that go into the concept of buildings here. Here we invest in understanding. Vision. Purpose. What can be.
And our goal? At the end of the Charette process, we -- all of us, client, contractor, architect, interior designer, engineer -- will have a clear, cohesive direction. One that we all agree upon. One that we all understand. That is the process. And it works.
