Getting it Built  ! Bernard Humphrey-Gaskin - ABP Architects

The making of buildings, alterations, extensions etc, needs a process that starts from the inception of a idea, through a design stage to an on site construction stage to a completed project.


Most clients would be well tasked to find drawings many years after the completed project.

The Construction Process

The construction of a building starts from the design through a process of decisions to a completed project

The Circulation

We can make the journey a route to be enjoyed or to be quickly dealt with !!!


The roofs put a lid on it !!  They can make the architectural statement.

Windows and doors are needed for access, ventilation and light.

Kitchens and bathrooms are needed for habitation of the buildings.

The Design

It is more than just drawings that make a building, but it is a start

The Foundations The Walls The Structure

Most construction projects require foundations.

Walls are needed to separate the inside from the outside. Walls define spaces.

Beams and columns are needed to stop the building from falling down !!!

The Floors

Floors raise us above the ground and it is that which is beneath our feet.

The Finished Product

A well designed and functioning building is a mark of good architecture.
