Concept Design
From early conversations and feasibility through to a clear architectural concept, we help define the brief, test opportunities and establish a strong direction for the project.

Services


The client is always the most important member of the team. Our services are tailored to each project, with hands-on Partner involvement throughout.
As a RIBA Chartered Practice, LED provides architectural services from feasibility and concept design through planning, technical design, construction and completion.
From early conversations and feasibility through to a clear architectural concept, we help define the brief, test opportunities and establish a strong direction for the project.
We prepare and coordinate planning submissions, bringing together design, technical and consultant information and guiding proposals through the planning process.
We develop coordinated, buildable information for tender and construction, integrating architecture with structural, services and specialist design requirements.
Environmental performance is considered from the outset, balancing fabric, energy, comfort, materials, adaptability and long-term operation.
We work carefully with historic fabric and sensitive settings, balancing conservation significance with practical requirements, new uses and contemporary interventions.
We coordinate development at site and campus scale, considering phasing, movement, landscape, ecology, infrastructure and long-term organisational objectives.
We coordinate teams, programmes and project information through delivery, with hands-on partner involvement and Principal Designer support where required.
Working with consultant Chartered Quantity Surveyors, we can integrate cost advice and budget management with design development and project decision-making.
We develop interior layouts and spatial strategies around the people who use them, combining function, character, material quality and flexibility.

Integrated delivery
We coordinate the wider consultant team around the project brief, programme, approvals and budget so that design quality remains connected to how the building will actually be delivered and used.
