New construction
A conversation about new spaces, site conditions and the information needed to shape a feasible brief.

SPACE IN THE MAKING.
From first conversation to a buildable brief. Shape a place around the way it needs to work — then understand the route to making it real.
Concept imagery — not completed Strata Works projects.
01 / 01 / The ideaIDEA → IMPACT
Every place begins with a question.
What should this site make possible? Before materials and methods, understand the people, the constraints and the ambition. A stronger brief gives every decision a reason to exist.

02 / 02 / The spaceSTRATA / FIELD NOTES
Think beyond the footprint.
Light, circulation, structure and use are connected. Consider them together, early, so the finished space can feel as purposeful as the plans that shaped it.
- 01
Listen to the site
Record context, access, orientation and constraints before defining the work.
- 02
Make the brief tangible
Translate priorities into a scope that can be discussed and refined.
- 03
Leave room for detail
Material and junction decisions deserve attention before they become site questions.
03 / 03 / What we doWHAT WE MAKE
A different brief. A considered response.
Existing / Renewed02
Adaptive projects
Explore how an existing building could change, and what its structure, setting and history may require.
- Existing conditions
- Priorities and staging
- Material direction
Project-specific proposal
Discuss a project04 / 04 / How it comes togetherTHE SEQUENCE
From possibility to a clear plan.
Discover
Share the site, intended use, priorities and the unknowns worth investigating.
Define
Work through scope, constraints, specialist input and the basis for a proposal.
Develop
Agree the documentation, responsibilities and communication required before work begins.
Deliver
Make decisions visible as the project progresses and record changes to the agreed scope.
05 / 05 / On the groundSTRATA / FIELD NOTES
The craft is in the decisions.
A precise drawing matters. So does the conversation around it. Good work connects what is intended with what is understood on site, at every stage.
Start the conversation06 / Before we beginBEFORE WE BEGIN
Useful things to know.
What should I bring to a first conversation?
The property location, your intended use, available plans and any budget or timing you have in mind. Early ideas are enough to begin.
Can you quote or promise a timeline from this website?
No. Site conditions, scope, approvals and availability all affect pricing and programme. These need project-specific review and written agreement.
Are the images examples of finished Strata projects?
No. The construction images are illustrative concept studies, not completed client work or engineering specifications.
