Services
BRAYA offers two modes of engagement — Advisory Services and Design Services — providing strategic insight and design expertise from first ideas to final realization.
Advisory Services
Strategic insight and creative counsel
Led by our principals, our advisory services offer guidance when it matters most: before a project begins, when challenges arise, or when a fresh perspective can unlock value. Grounded in dialogue and clear design thinking, these sessions help clients make confident, informed decisions.
Design Services
Pencil to paper
With a bespoke team of architects, artists, designers, makers, and urbanists, our design services turn ideas into architecture. We collaborate closely with clients and local partners to craft architecture that is thoughtful, beautiful, and meaningful.
Typical Methodology
Every project is unique, but our process often follows this organization: Strategy, Design, and Delivery.
Strategy — Advisory Services
Program (Stage 1)
Define the purpose and possibility
We begin by identifying goals, constraints, and aspirations: mapping the site, assessing regulations, and aligning stakeholders.
Goal: A client-approved brief that outlines project intent and viability
Design — Design Services
Parti (Stage 2)
Find the Big Idea
We explore design concepts through research, sketching, modeling, and experimentation to define the project’s identity.
Goal: A client-approved early design that expresses project principles and aesthetic intent.
Scheme (Stage 3)
Shape the Architecture
We refine the design into an organized architectural solution, resolving programmatic relationships and spatial flow.
Goal: A client-approved design that defines intent, form, aesthetics, spatial relationships, and program.
Development (Stage 4)
Make the Idea Work
We develop the approved design with engineering, setting the direction for all aesthetics and major details.
Goal: An architectural design that is technically developed and aligned with the approved scheme.
Delivery — Advisory Services
Details (Stage 5)
Guide the Transition to Construction
We provide strategic input on design intent as technical teams finalize architecture, engineering, documentation, and compliance.
Goal: A detailed design package ready for permitting and construction.
Observation (Stage 6)
Stay with the Project through Delivery
During construction, we advise on design intent and share the insight of our experience.
Goal: A realized project that delivers the client approved design.
This typical methodology is representative only. Some projects need a very different process based on the client's needs, the type of project, or one of many other reasons.
Whether you are interested in our expertise,
Art, Mega-scale Projects, or Skyscrapers,
the first step is always a conversation.
Let's start something amazing.
