Architecture is, by vocation, a subjective matter where typically commission decisions are made on design style and ethos. There is rarely a wrong or right solution. Therefore it is important to have a strong understanding of your company values before submitting for projects. At Simone de Gale Architects, work is won through a number of procurement routes and offering a range of services for potential clients. I interviewed Simone to find out more about her client acquisition efforts and business development, as he runs a smaller but very successful practice in one of the most desirable parts of London- Belgravia. Simone will also speak about this particular topic at Disrupt Symposium taking place this spring 1-5th May 19:00 CET virtually. You can purchase your early bird tickets by visiting the event website
Competitions
As a young architectural practice, Simone de Gale Architects likes to enter competitions which provide opportunities to develop and demonstrate her strong company values and design style. The firm is typically competing as Lead Architect for master plan projects. They find it useful to enter international competitions and target areas in the world which are developing (such as Eastern Europe, Asia and Middle East) and are in search of designers with new innovative thinking and approaches toward sustainability.
