PROCESS

UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM AKA FEASIBILITY

Looking to build in a specific location but not sure if it’s feasible? DOT-Architecture has you covered with our feasibility studies that explore the possibilities for any site. We’ll take a look at the area, the local codes, and zoning constraints to give you a realistic idea of what is possible now, while also imagining new solutions. So whether you’re planning for a large-scale mixed-use development, 5-over-3 multi-family, a smaller townhome development, or anything in between, DOT-Architecture is here to help make your multi-family project site & product a success.

 

STEP ONE:

Working with the cutting edge of technology, DOT-Architecture uses computer algorithms to aid in creating design solutions for any site.

 

STEP TWo:

This allows our team to quickly explore multiple options in a quick and efficient manner, all while guaranteeing, from the start, that the proposed solution is in compliance with building and zoning regulations.

 

STEP THREE:

Exploring more options in less time allows you the peace of mind in knowing that the proposed programs are the most impactful and efficient solutions for your site.

 

STEP FOUR:

Algorithm-aided pre-design processes can just as easily be utilized on larger-scale mixed use projects as well.

 

STEP FIVE:

The same efficiencies afforded in the exploration of a single site can be applied to master planning, allowing our team to quickly explore various building layouts, designs, and use types, all while keeping the big picture in mind.

SITE FORMAL EXPLORATION

ZONING REVIEW

In the rare instances, when an infill development or low-density development is desired, the DOT-Arc team will explore the zoning and site constraints manually first, developing a comprehensive zoning overview that shows the potential of the site.

MASSING & PROGRAM REVIEW

Drawing on our extensive understanding of urban development and the comprehensive zoning review, the DOT team will develop a series of options that maximize the potential for even the most restrictive of sites.
