ROLE / DESIGN AND DELIVERY
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA

01Architecture & Design

Two signatures on every project:
the drawing, and the schedule
it was built on.

Greice Bertoncello. Architect and project manager, Vancouver.

02Role

She drew it.
She saw it built.

On every project in this catalogue the role was the same: design and delivery. The drawing first, then the budget, the schedule, the consultants and the trades, and the site reviews that close the distance between the two.

ROLE / DESIGN AND DELIVERY

03Before

A floor is a brief
before it is a floor.

  • “Utilize existing elements when possible.”
  • “Make space functional and make it work better for purpose.”
  • “Celebrate and highlight interesting architectural elements in the space.”
  • “Allied branded space.”

The client brief, 151 W Hastings

A testfit is the first honest answer to how much fits, and what it will cost to fit it.

Branding opportunities were counted level by level as well: murals, framed art, neon and logo signage, a three dimensional element, a green wall.

05The back of the drawing

The red is hers.

Sketch, render, correction, render again. Most portfolios show the last one. This is the one before it: the drawing with the marks still on it, while a change still costs a pen stroke.

06Delivery

One line. Two signatures.
