Building Design in Darwin

Proper design of buildings for construction in Darwin is imperative. The Climate is hot and humid and the occupants of the structure need to be comfortable. The use of materials orientation and design layout are crucial elements which when combined effectively produce a building of real value. In addition to this, Darwin is subject to cyclonic weather activity during the wet season. At Viking West Building Design and Drafting we pride ourselves on our ability to produce a design which is not only structurally cyclone rated but cost effective to build.

The effectiveness of a building’s design will impact the behavior of it future occupants. The ways in which people communicate, interact, move about and conduct their work or chores is directly related to the building playing host to the activity.  

The lifespan of a building is significant so it is important to get the design right before you begin on site. At Viking West, we not only design buildings that look amazing, but that function efficiently and improve the daily life experience of it’s occupants.

We welcome the opportunity to be of assistance with any projects. (email: jesper@vikingwest.com.au)

Great Building Design

It is usually the case that, construction costs for poorly designed buildings exceed those for well thought out and well designed buildings significantly.

A well designed building not only looks amazing but is specifically suited for it’s intended site. The geographic location of the site, the elevation of the site and the orientation of the site combined with all of the local considerations are of great importance.

A poorly designed building uses construction methods which are not practical or not sympathetic to local construction talent. The result is clumsy and expensive.

Here at Viking West Building Design we have over 18 years experience in the design of buildings. We have a proud record of producing projects that inspire pride. Our portfolio consists of all types of projects; residential, commercial, industrial. We offer premium designand drafting at very competitive rates.

The Value of Building Design

Buildings have many functions, making the ability to measure their effectiveness difficult. Building Designers face the challenge of producing a product which is not only structurally adequate for the intended site but also to produce a building which is aesthetically pleasing and practical from the perspective of its intended use.

We live on a Planet with finite resources. This is a fact which is impacting our generation more than any that went before us. The construction of buildings consumes vast amounts of resources and energy. The buildings of the future will be designed to minimize the impact on resource use while maximizing product return.

The effectiveness of a building’s design will impact the behavior of it future occupants. The ways in which people communicate, interact, move about and conduct their work or chores is directly related to the building playing host to the activity.  

Buildings have a life span which is often much longer than other manufactured products. A good Building Designer will use materials and construction methods which produce a resilient building which can withstand prolonged exposure to the elements yet is sympathetic to its aesthetic and environmental requirements.

A good Building Designer can not only produce a product which is superior in aesthetic appeal, but which complements the same environment. A good Building Designer is acutely aware of the cost of construction – if a project is not economically efficient it will not be acceptable to a client for whom one of the major concerns is rightly going to be construction costs and value for money.
