Elements and Performance Criteria
- Analyse the project brief
- Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to designing for residential spaces are verified and complied with
- Project brief is reviewed, confirmed and clarified with client
- Key requirements for the project are assessed and confirmed and constraints determined
- Resources are selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness
- Communication with others is established and maintained
- Relevant research is conducted to gain all information which may be used to inform the design process
- All required information is accessed and interpreted to inform the design process
- Conduct project research
- Site analysis is conducted to assess the requirements of the space requiring work
- Intended function of the space is ascertained from the client
- Contextual information relating to the brief is researched and evaluated
- Functional and planning issues are determined specific to the site and client requirements
- Research material is organised and presented in the form of a design proposal
- Project is planned to make effective use of time and available resources
- Develop design concepts
- Multiple ideas and concepts are generated in a creative and diverse manner that is sympathetic to the design brief
- Concepts are presented through appropriate presentation methods
- Viability of concepts are assessed in conjunction with others
- Environmental implications of the project are assessed and design concepts reviewed to ensure maximum energy efficiency achieved in solution
- Access issues relating the project are identified and addressed in design solution
- Design the space
- Ideas are translated into 3-D space satisfying functional criteria
- Evidence of 3-D notions are explored through modelling
- The arrangement and allocation of space is explored to express the concept
- Idea with the greatest potential for success is presented to promote the design's acceptance using both 2-D and 3-D representations
- Client feedback is sought, amendments are agreed to and recorded, and ideas are revised and refined
- A colour and materials palette is selected to enhance spatial ideas
- Design is modified in response to critical feedback without losing integrity of the design intention
- Revise and refine solution
- Ergonomic and anthropometric principles are assessed in respect to the space and the intended products
- Spatial planning is further revised and resolved in response to client feedback
- Materials, colours, furniture, finishes, fixtures and fittings are selected appropriate to the concept and brief parameters
- Feedback is received through consultation with the client and incorporated into design solution
- Prepare a fully rendered client presentation
- Resource requirements are identified for presentation
- Final design solution is communicated effectively and creatively using a range of techniques and media
- Documentation drawings and material selections are prepared that are consistent with, and that best communicate, the design intent
- Work is completed to plan and within brief constraints
- Client feedback and response are analysed to determine success in achieving client satisfaction
- Own performance in the design process is examined to identify strengths and weaknesses
- Areas for improvement are identified
