BUILD Q3 2018

32 Build Q3 2018 GTWORKS started with a simple dream: to combine archi- tecture, interior design and construction in a single company, to act as a turn key service for those wanting a complete pro- ject manager for their property, whether this is for a private residential, refurbishment or a big commercial project. This system gives us an incredible flexibility offering to our clients the possibility to choose between the full integrated service or benefit from our separate services if this is what they require. CGTWORK’S projects stretch form private residential refurbishment to big commercial projects, working together with developers, architects, building companies or private clients. Chesterton road project was a perfect example for this innovative approach; this was a refurbishment for a two-floor apartment in Notting Hill. We redesigned the first floor with an open space layout and two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom at the second floor. During the entire process, we discussed and reviewed the project between architects, designers and builders all in house, ensuring that the design would reflect the construction and vice versa. This original method resulted in a perfect execution of the work without compromising the design during the construction phase. From the big concrete shelves, casted on site with integrated LED lights to the concrete resin or bespoke furniture, all the details were just as the client required. All projects at CGTWORKS start with a brief with the client, discussed with our architects and interior designers. At the beginning, we outline a base project and discuss it with our construction managers to point out any possible issues during the construction, the project is constantly in the adjust and monitor phase to ensure the design is feasible. Once on site, any issues are worked out in house. There is direct communication between our architecture and construction departments, Unique Formula for Success in the Design and Construction Industries CGTWORKS started with a simple dream: to combine architecture, interior design and construction in a single company, to act as a turn key service for those wanting a complete project manager for their property. Taking time to profile the firm is co-Director – Architect, Nicola Cotti, co-Director – Architect, Enrico Trolese and co-Director – Construction Manager, Gianandrea Gavazzeni. C to ensure that all details and elements of the project are carried out smoothly. The integration between the different components of the property man- agement process, gives an incredible flexibility to adapt to any situation. We are able to take our skills and work with architects, designers, con- struction companies, private clients or developers. This is a plus among our competitors often specialized in a specific sector. Today the architecture industry is often guilty of cardboard copy prac- tices; we often come across architecture firms that design offices or development or commercial units, blending all the projects in a repetitive copy paste fashion replicating previous designs. Also, the constant demand for quick solutions and fast design has im- poverished the design process draining time for ideas or innovation and the result is a trend of buildings without style or character. At CGTWORKS we override those problems by combining a range of experience with specialized knowledge, anticipating the problems whilst improving the construction and design solutions. To further improve the process and the final result of our projects, we also utilise new technology. Maintaining knowledge of the most up to date tools is an important aspect of our firm. During the design process, we use 3D software to test the appearance of the project, we use photo- realistic rendering to create a close idea of how the project and our ideas may look. In the construction phase, we are always researching new products in the market that can improve building performance, reduce carbon foot print and improve ecologic solutions. Lastly, we believe that in the future our vision will be more and more cop- ied, shifting the tendency from specialization to a collaborative approach and flexible integration of different disciplines. Rather than a specialized cell, the architectural office will become more like a live entity composed of different strands that are able to adapt to every situation.
