Deep dives
Innovative Architectural Approach
New Space Architecture takes a unique approach to architecture by focusing on simplifying complex concepts for their clients. Instead of following traditional practices, such as charging based on a percentage of the build cost, they provide fixed fees for specific project stages. This transparency helps clients clearly understand costs without hidden fees while allowing them to know exactly what services are necessary. Moreover, by integrating client communications into the process, such as providing a detailed briefing booklet, they encourage thoughtful discussions and alignment on project objectives.
