Acred · Arm 01 of 06
Homes drawn for the people who will live in them, and for the team that has to sell them.
The craft · Why Architecture
-
Sanctioned first time
Drawn to the bye-law
Setbacks, FAR and fire norms go into the first sketch, so the set that goes to the authority is the set that comes back approved.
-
A cost on every option
Priced as it is drawn
Every massing study leaves the studio with a per-square-foot figure the site team has already agreed to hold.
-
Light in every room
Planned to sell
Cross-ventilated homes with honest carpet areas, drawn by people who also have to sell them.
One studio, from the first sketch to the sanction stamp
The masterplan, the tower, the show flat and the sanction set come from the same desk. Your project is never handed to a stranger halfway.
-
Masterplanning
Land use, phasing and density that launch well and keep selling through the last phase.
- Phasing for sales
- Density studies
- Landscape and roads
-
Residential design
Apartments and towers planned around light, cross ventilation and the shape of a family's day.
- Cross-ventilated plans
- Efficient cores
- Honest carpet area
-
Mixed-use and commercial
Retail, offices and homes on one site without a fight over the basement.
- Podium retail
- Office floors
- Shared services
-
Interior architecture
Lobbies, clubhouses and show flats, built exactly as drawn, by Acred Interiors.

- Show flats
- Material palettes
-

- Passive cooling
- Rainwater and solar
-
Approvals and liaison
Sanction sets drawn to the bye-law from day one, so most clear on the first submission.
- Sanction drawings
- Authority liaison
- RERA documents
How it runs · From the first site walk to the last site drawing
-
Weeks 0 to 2
The site walk
We walk the land with the bye-laws in hand and come back with what it can carry: homes, heights, setbacks and a first number.
-
Weeks 3 to 6
Three ways to build it
Three massing options, each with a cost, a saleable-area count and the view from every balcony.
-
Weeks 7 to 14
The full set
Plans, facades, structure and services drawn in one model, so the engineer's column and the architect's window never meet by accident.
-
Through construction
Drawings that answer back
Good-for-construction sets, a site visit every fortnight, and an answer to the site's question the same day.
The drawing is the cheapest place to fix a building.

Construction
The date on the contract is the date on the keys. One schedule, one team, a photograph every Friday.
