HOUSE ARCHITECTURE & INTERIOR PACKAGE SERVICES

A. For architecture services, Clients are required to provide complete information regarding the following information:

1. Land Location and Land Size / Dimensions (scan/softcopy of land measurement results), including Building Lines boundaries that are allowed to be built (optional).
2. Design style or preferred House Style (Classic, Modern, Tropical, Contemporary, and other style based on Client’s request.)
3. Spatial requirements in detail. Example:

B. For interior services, Clients are required to provide complete information regarding the following information:

1. Clients are required to inform the fixed layout of the building’s design or existing building
2. If Clients don’t have the layout or 3D, a survey is needed or hire local drafters to measure the spaces. Windows, doors, etc.
3. Clients are required to inform the sample or the reference3s of the chosen interior model.

Compared to house designs in general, Emporio Architect’s Luxurious villa-style houses usually take time about:

1. House Architecture Design: 2-6 months (depending on the number of revisions from the clients since the revision is unlimited)
2. House Interior Design: 2-3 months (2 revisions max)
3. House Architecture + Interior Design: 4-8 months
4. Hotel, Resort, Apartment, Elite Residential, and Other Commercial Property Designs: 4-12 months

Emporio Architect, since many years ago, has been used with the virtual meeting protocol, which means the whole designing process in any country in the world can be finalized without face-to-face meetings. All that’s needed are E-mail and phone number.

As the year progresses, the technology also becomes more sophisticated that can be utilized, such as WhatsApp group, Telegram group, Teamviewer, Discord, Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, Google Hangout, and so on, which have been a huge help to support and spread our services throughout the globe 100% virtually. Clients are also given the advantage due to much advanced 3D software that’s able to give preview accuracy and realism before the building is developed.

Technology to measure the land has also become unconventional a long time ago since the theodolite is GPS-supported, which means the clients only need to hire the land surveyor services (third-party) to acquire accurate measurement results. The measurement’s result then will be submitted to the architect via E-mail or WhatsApp Messenger for further examination. It’s much easier to draw the design if the topography/land measurement data is available.

The Client can also utilize the GPS share location feature on WhatsApp, and our architect can utilize Google Maps and Google Street View to conduct a virtual survey on the exact site without actually visiting the site. The architect can also see the surroundings using a satellite. Yup, like in spy movies.

Emporio Architect provides unlimited revisions on the layout and 3D as well. Therefore, you shouldn’t be worried if the concept doesn’t fit your desire. You can also revise it while relaxing at home or even while on a family vacation. Quite straightforward, isn’t it?

Our team of architects is able to come to the Client’s house or other places decided by the Client with extra fees (plane tickets and accommodation if out-of-town/country travel is needed). For out-of-town/country travel, the Client needs to settle the first stage Down-Payment and visitation fee. To save time, the Client isn’t required to meet directly. Simply provide all the accurate land data, with land and surrounding area images and conditions. Meetings can be arranged virtually using any app with a video call feature and Teamviewer.

Emporio Architect always welcomes a visit to one of our offices an advanced appointment.

The 3D design is in one package with the building’s layout. We don’t provide 3D design only because to create the 3D display, including the façade, it needs a layout plan that has been adjusted with the façade’s concept.

Every design already has 3D interior suggestions in multiple angles included (non-revisable). If you need revisable and detailed interior designs, we also provide integrated interior services:

1. Interior Design Services
