Schematic design in multifamily projects: when decisions–and mistakes–scale
Decisions made during schematic design last a building’s lifetime. Long before it’s time for construction documents, material selections, detailed engineering — the fundamental choices made here define massing, spatial organization, building orientation, unit layout, and core placement. They’re especially critical in multifamily projects because they don’t just affect one unit but scale across 50, 100, 200 or more units. To get these decisions right requires rigorous exploration during schematic design to ask questions, test ideas, check performance, and fine tune numbers. For this phase…
