Building Design in The Top End

Proper design of buildings for construction in The Top End 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)

Building Design That Works

The decision to build is often spawned out of several factors. Those factors can include; the need for more space, a desire to upgrade current facilities and the desire to produce a structure worthy of pride and achievement.
Often, the required financial investment is significant and often the real value of the completed project can be compromised by not getting the Design right to begin with.


Not only must the project be put together using building materials and construction methods which are in tune with current practices and therefor cost effective. But, it must also break new ground in terms of taking the unique requirements of every new client and transforming them into something realistically beautiful and practical.


Designing and Drafting Darwin Building Projects has its own unique challenges. The structure must be cyclone rated. It must be Energy Efficient and most importantly it must look fantastic and function seamlessly for its intended use. At Viking West we proudly produce Building Design that Works.
