in the various stages of the
Architectural Design Process

2. EXAMPLES OF WORK DELIVERED IN THE VARIOUS STAGES OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROCESS
This document has been compiled to illustrate how Claudio Modola Design develops an architectural project
through from preliminary concept to detailed design.
For clarity, we have selected examples from the same project; as far as possible, in order to reflect the
development of the architectural design and updates to specific drawings as the design process advances.
As the purpose of the document is to illustrate the development of the architectural design process we
have not reflected drawings related to the coordination of the architectural design with the work of other
collaborating consultants such as structural, civil, mechanical and electrical engineers etc., however this is
naturally undertaken at each stage as the design develops in order to provide the client with an efficient, fully
coordinated and workable detailed design.
As Claudio Modola Design provides both Architectural and Interior Design consultancy services (details
of our Interior Design are provided in a separate document herewith), certain drawings such as electrical
schemes and reflected ceiling plans may be provided as part of the architectural package should the studio
not be appointed for interior design consultancy or as the project manager believes important to the project.

Our Understanding Of The Project
Project Understanding & Scope of Services
On behalf of Mr Salah Mussa, Mr Allan Chamberlin has requested a
proposal for multi disciplinary design consultancy services to be provided
to two proposed luxury residential villa’s on plots 367-120 & 367-121 in
the Um Al Sheif area of Jumeirah, Dubai, U.A.E.
It is understood that the two private residences are to be designed and
developed in a manner to achieve maximum return on investment when
the properties are offered for sale to a high level GCC target market. It is
also understood that the client may upon completion elect to retain one
of the villa’s for his families private use.
The two villa’s are to be designed with a modern day Arabic aesthetic,
celebrating Middle Eastern flavour in a contemporary context. Both villa’s
are to share a cohesive overall style but will be designed with different
layouts, volumes & massing.
Each villa’s layout will be composed over 4 levels:- basement, ground
floor, 1st floor and partially developed roof deck level. Based upon the
room requirements indicated in the architectural brief; specifically 6
bedroom suites per villa, we estimate that each residence will require
a total built up area (BUA) of +/- 1900 m2
, in order to offer generous yet
communicating living spaces.
If appointed the studio will seek to create unique residence’s designed
in such a way as to convey timeless, understated elegance able to carry
the structures through decades to come.
In designing the villa’s, the design team’s objective will be to play with
space, volume, light and materials to create homes that are effortlessly
comfortable, inviting to live in yet stunningly dramatic in their presence,
composition and atmospheres.

positions of project buildings, external structures, pool,
landscaping, driveways etc.
• Dimensioned Conceptual Floor and Roof Deck Plans
depicting the internal layout of the villas, room sizes,
basic furniture positions, communication of
areas and harmony of internal flow. The Plans
will indicate sunrise and sunset positions, any important
view directions, prevailing wind directions and points of
entrance/ exit etc.
• Preliminary External Materials sample board indicating type
and colour of materials to be used on the exterior facades.
