Highlights:
Schematic Design (SD)
Preliminary design outlining project concepts and layout.
Concept Refinement
Initial design phase outlining the project’s basic structure and layout.
Spatial Planning
As every square foot is valuable, the allocation of space within the project must be strategically planned. This involves balancing private areas, corridors, and shared spaces to maximize both functionality and visual appeal.
Preliminary Drawings
Developing basic diagrams, floor plans, and elevations to represent the design concept.
Site Analysis
The overall shape and volume of the building, known as massing, is a crucial element. Explore various options to find the perfect building form.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during the schematic design phase in architecture?
The schematic design (SD) phase is where the architectural design process begins. Architects explore the project's function, form, and layout to ensure it aligns with client needs and regulatory requirements. This phase produces basic drawings, site plans, and rough sketches that define the project’s direction.
How is the design development phase different from schematic design?
In the design development (DD) phase, architects take the schematic concepts and transform them into detailed architectural plans. This includes decisions on materials, building systems, dimensions, and structural elements. The goal is to create a clear and functional plan that’s ready for documentation and permits.
What are construction documents in architecture and why are they important?
Construction documents (CDs) are the detailed drawings and specifications used by builders to construct a building. These include floor plans, elevations, sections, and technical details that guide every aspect of the construction process, ensuring compliance, accuracy, and buildability.
Why is each phase of architectural design important in outsourcing projects?
Every design phase—schematic design, design development, and construction documentation—ensures a smooth, structured architectural workflow. For outsourcing firms like LynxLGS Architecture Outsourcing, this clarity is crucial for delivering accurate, code-compliant drawings on time and on budget.
