01. Project brief
Family, functions, priorities.
PNVTEAM GROUP
House and residential space design
Design starts before the facade or visualisations are developed.
First, we need to understand:
- who will live in the house;
- how the family uses its space;
- what site or premises are available;
- what structures and utility networks are required;
- what budget is realistic;
- how the property will be built and maintained.
PNVTEAM connects residential design with future construction. Layout, architecture, structure, building services and working documents need to form a coordinated package.
On this page
Planning starts with people.
To square meters, it's important to understand:
- Family structure;
- Age;
- Visitors;
- Work from home;
- Habits
- Storage;
- a hobby;
- Kitchen;
- Rest;
- privacy;
- Children;
- Domestic animals;
- Motor vehicles;
- plant and service rooms;
- Possible family changes in the future.
The house shouldn't be a set of rooms from a model catalogue.
Life scenarios
It's useful to describe a normal day:
- The entrance to the house;
- Where they leave their clothes;
- How are the purchases made;
- Where they are prepared;
- Where they eat;
- Where they work;
- Where children do their homework;
- How they receive guests;
- How the terrace is used;
- where the seasonal one is stored;
- How the machinery is maintained;
- I don't know how the family moves at night.
These scenarios have a direct impact on the design.
House and apartment - different design tasks
Private home
The following should be considered:
- The site;
- Landing;
- Access;
- Scene;
- Orientation;
- The foundation;
- Design;
- The roof;
- Facade;
- External networks;
- Engineering premises;
- Improvement;
- Explosion.
Apartment
The main restrictions have already been set:
- Existing structures;
- Struggles;
- Ventilation channels;
- Facade;
- Windows;
- Common home networks;
- The rules of the building.
The housing project is more focused on:
- Planning;
- The interior;
- Engineering;
- Furniture;
- Refinishing.
Design details and work planning
The house is designed with the place.
For a private house, it's important:
- Dimensions;
- Form of the site;
- Orientation;
- Scene;
- Access;
- Neighbouring buildings;
- Species;
- Sun;
- Wind;
- Existing networks;
- Trees;
- Limitations.
A house that looks good on its own may not work well on a particular site.
Baseline data of the site
Depending on the brief, the following may be required:
- Topographic data;
- Geology;
- Existing networks;
- Technical conditions;
- Limitations of territory;
- Documents/plans;
- The actual situation at the site.
The necessary composition of the baseline data is determined by the task, the site and the design phase.
Wishes need to be turned into a project task.
The task is to record:
- Who will live;
- Area;
- :: deck capacity;
- Premises;
- Priorities;
- Restrictions;
- Budget level;
- Materials;
- Engineering expectations;
- Energy efficiency;
- Autonomy;
- Future implementation.
The terms of reference may be clarified.
But significant changes must be recorded, otherwise the project becomes an endless movement of purpose.
More is not always better
The additional area means:
- More construction;
- More heating;
- More finish;
- More cleaning;
- more service.
The project should not be looking for a maximum area, but sufficient.
It's useful to separate:
- Spaces actually used;
- Communication areas;
- Technical zones;
- Storage;
- a reserve for future needs.
Planning
The layout shall link:
- Entry;
- Common areas;
- Private areas;
- Bedrooms
- Sanitation;
- Kitchen;
- Storage;
- A ladder;
- plant and service rooms;
- Furniture;
- Engineering stickers.
Bad design isn't fixed by expensive trim.
The dimensions of real things are important to engineering.
Before electricity and light, it is desirable to know:
- Kitchen;
- closets;
- The beds;
- Couchs;
- Desks;
- Television;
- Technology;
- Plumbers.
This affects:
- Discharges;
- Switches;
- Light;
- Water;
- Sanitation;
- Ventilation;
- Mortgages.
Kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most heavily populated areas of engineering.
We need to tie it up.
- Furniture;
- Fridge;
- Warm surface;
- The oven;
- extraction;
- Washing;
- A dishwasher;
- Water;
- Sanitation;
- Electrician;
- Light;
- Ventilation.
Decisions must be determined before clean work is done.
Sunhouses
The project should take into account:
- Positioning of instruments;
- Struggles;
- Tracks;
- The slopes;
- Ventilation;
- Hydroinsulation;
- Audits;
- Furniture;
- Electrical zones;
- Services.
The number of sanitary units affects both architecture and engineering.
Lack of storage quickly turns a good interior into chaos.
Think:
- Topwear;
- Shoes;
- Cleaning equipment;
- Products;
- Seasonal items;
- Sport;
- suitcases;
- Instruments;
- Technical supplies.
Technical premises
For a private house, it may be necessary:
- boiler room;
- Electrical protection zone;
- Water training;
- Ventilation equipment;
- server / network;
- Batteries;
- Inverter;
- The economic zone.
They cannot be designed as a residual area.
Form should be linked to plan and design
Architecture defines:
- Volume;
- Proportions;
- Facade;
- Windows;
- The roof;
- The connection at home to the station.
But the appearance shall be fulfilled and consistent with:
- By design;
- Warming;
- Water drainage;
- Engineering;
- Materials;
- budget.
MultiStyle
Structural design
Depending on the project, the design may include:
- The foundation;
- Walls;
- Columns;
- beams;
- Curves;
- stairways;
- The roof.
Architectural and structural designs should be reviewed together.
You can't first approve the form and then find a way to technically hold it without changing the design.
Engineering systems — part of the home project
Within the agreed scope:
- Electricity supply;
- Lighting;
- heating;
- Ventilation;
- Conditioning;
- Water;
- Sanitation;
- Weak grids;
- Communication;
- Automatics;
- Emergency power.
Not every project includes a complete set of sections.
Electricity
Design taking into account:
- Real furniture;
- Technology;
- Strong consumers;
- Outer areas;
- lighting;
- Engineering equipment;
- Reservation.
The shield and electrical logic must be in line with the use of the home.
Ventilation
Particularly important for:
- An energy efficient house;
- firm windows;
- Sanitation units;
- Kitchen;
- wardrobe;
- Technical premises.
Ventilation must be considered before ceilings are designed without space for air ducts.
Heating and cooling
Decisions depend on:
- Heat loss;
- windows;
- Orientation;
- Square;
- The use mode;
- The energy source;
- Ventilation;
- It's a summer overheating.
Do not choose the system only by habit or by advertising equipment.
Water supply and drainage
You need to tie it up for the house:
- Water sources;
- Introduction;
- Water training;
- Apparatus;
- Hot water;
- Sanitation;
- External networks.
The location of wet zones affects the cost and the design simplicity of the project.
The solution is architecture and engineering together.
Take into account:
- Form;
- Orientation;
- Windows;
- Shading;
- Warming;
- Cold bridges;
- Leakproofness;
- Ventilation;
- Heating.
ZeroHouse
Summer overheating
Designing a warm house without the control of the summer sun can cause discomfort.
Consider:
- The orientation of windows;
- External shade;
- Curtains;
- Terraces;
- Plants
- Ventilation;
- Decisions for cooling.
Not design energy efficiency only for winter.
Self-sufficiency
If this is important to the owner, identify critical systems in advance:
- heating;
- pumps;
- Fridge;
- Communication;
- Lighting;
- Gate;
- Security;
- Ventilation.
It is then possible to design:
- Emergency electrical lines;
- The battery;
- Inverter;
- Generator;
- Solar;
- Automation.
The need for autonomous systems is determined by the objectives of a particular home.
Digital and intellectual systems
May include:
- Network;
- Wi-Fi;
- Chambers;
- Access;
- Automation;
- Monitoring;
- Accounting;
- server devices.
AVGZ
The necessary infrastructure should be installed before finishing work begins.
Budget is a design constraint, not an afterthought
Value is influenced by:
- Area;
- :: deck capacity;
- Design;
- Overflight;
- Form;
- The roof;
- Facade;
- Windows;
- Engineering;
- Level of trim;
- Equipment.
If the budget is limited, it is better to make decisions at the project stage than to cheaply replace an already developed facility with chaotic replacements.
Project and estimates
The working documentation shall enable:
- Identify quantities;
- Comparison of materials;
- Evaluate engineering systems;
- Formulate estimates;
- Comparison of contractor proposals.
The fewer solutions in the draft, the more solutions will go to:
I'll make a decision on the construction site.
Design details and work planning
Design/ Concept and Work Project
Concept
Answers:
- What we build;
- How space is organized;
- What volume;
- I don't know what character it is.
Working project
Shall transmit sufficient technical information for harmonized implementation.
Visualisation
Useful for agreeing on:
- Materials;
- Proportion;
- Colours;
- The atmosphere.
But it doesn't automatically say:
- Dimensions;
- Design;
- Electrician;
- knots;
- Engineering ties.
Housing interior project
For an apartment or interior, the agreed composition of the house may be:
- A measurement plan;
- Planning;
- Dismantling;
- Installation;
- Furniture;
- Sex;
- A ceiling;
- Light;
- Discharges;
- Switches;
- Plumber;
- Openings;
- Materials;
- Specialized items.
The composition is determined by the task.
Private home project
May include:
- Landing;
- Architecture;
- Facade;
- Cuts;
- Design;
- External engineering links;
- Heat contour;
- Separate specifications.
Reconstruction project
If an object exists, sufficient information on:
- Geometry;
- structures;
- Engineering;
- defects;
- Previous changes.
StroyAudit
A change of one room may affect several sections
For example, kitchen transport affects:
- Water;
- Sanitation;
- Ventilation;
- Electrician;
- Furniture;
- The ceiling.
Changes therefore need to be:
- Record;
- Check;
- Update related decisions.
Do not continue to work on the old version of the draft.
Design document version control
For implementation, it is important that:
- from the customer;
- From the contractor;
- From engineers;
It was an up-to-date version.
Main PNVTeam Position
PNVTEAM is relevant where a design needs to progress beyond a visual concept.
We link project decisions to questions:
- Whether it is possible to build;
- How to count;
- What are the steps?
- What to order;
- Where sections are in conflict;
- I don't know what decisions to make in advance.

MultiStyle specialises in architecture, planning, interior design and visual design.
PNVTEAM:
- Link the project to implementation.
MultiStyle:
- To develop space, architecture and design in a coherent way.

Questions and answers
From the precinct, the composition of the family, the life scenarios, the square, the engineering expectations and the budget, and then the technical task is formed.
The functional program and requirements may be discussed, but decisions depending on the site cannot be considered final.
No. The page also refers to apartments and living spaces, but the composition of documentation varies.
The need for and volume of engineering baseline data are determined by the type of facility, site and design objective, and decisions that depend on the soil must be based on sufficient data.
Only if it is included in the agreed composition.
This is also defined by the brief.
It can enter as a separate task. A deep specialization in architecture and interior is linked to MultiStyle.
It's not always useful for harmonizing appearances, but it doesn't replace working materials.
It can be viewed as a basis, but it needs to be tested for applicability to the site, networks, family requirements, and future construction.
Changes may be possible, but should be verified under the bound sections before performing the dependent work.
By type of object, stage, baseline, section composition and level of detail, the universal price per m2 is not published on this page.
The conditions of guarantee are determined by the contract and the type of work.
