Offer · Design
A design studio inside the company that later builds these houses. An individual design or your own ready design, masonry included, recalculated for the timber frame, visualisations, the full set for the permit and shop drawings straight to our structural engineers. One team from the first sketch to the finished house.
How we work
Six stages. Each ends with something you can look at and approve, and each says plainly what you bring and what you get.
What we doWe ask who will live there and how, and what the budget is. We check the zoning plan or the planning conditions, utilities, access and the compass.
What you bringThe plot number or a map, the zoning extract if you have one, and a wish list: rooms, size, inspirations.
What you getA note of what was agreed, a first estimate of the build cost and an offer for the design.
How long1–2weeks
What we doWe draw the floor plans and the shape in two or three variants, look at them with you in 3D and correct until the layout is yours.
What you bringDecisions: which variant, what to change, which windows, roof and colours.
What you getFloor plans, the shape and visualisations on your plot, with a schedule of areas.
How long3–4weeks
What we doThe site plan, the architectural design and the technical design, the structure for the timber frame, the systems, the approvals. We file the application.
What you bringA survey map for design purposes, the utility connection conditions and a soil test; we tell you where to order them.
What you getThe full set for the office, on paper and electronically, and an application filed in your name.
How long2–3months
What we doWe keep an eye on the case: we answer the office's calls and complete the documents when it asks for something.
What you bringA power of attorney and some patience.
What you getThe building permit decision.
How long30–65days
What we doWe draw every wall, floor and truss for production: sections, openings, element numbers, the data for the CNC machine.
What you bringFinal decisions on windows and doors, because the openings are cut to them.
What you getThe documentation your house is made from, with no translating of the design between companies.Structure
How long2–4weeks
What we doThe architect is on site when needed: checks that what was drawn is what gets built, and settles details on the spot.
What you bringA phone call when something looks doubtful.
What you getA house that matches the design.House building
How longthrough the whole build
The times are typical for a family house and depend on the plot, the zoning plan and the pace of decisions. The exact schedule comes with the offer.
From the talk to the house
Four frames of what happens between the first meeting and the handover: the designer's desk, a visualisation, the structural model, the finished house.
Documentation
One goes to the office, the other to production. We make both, so the structure is calculated for the timber frame and our build-ups from the start.
For the permit
What the Building Law requires for the office to issue the decision.
For the build
What the house is made from: in production and on the plot.
The concept with visualisations comes earlier, at the concept stage.
Two ways
In both ways the same set goes to the office: the site development plan, the architectural design and the technical design.
The studio in numbers
The architect and the structural engineer sit under one roof with the production that cuts and assembles what they draw. That is why the design does not end with the permit.
Brief
Mark what you already know. The summary lands on the architect's desk with your number, and you get a proposal for a talk, with no obligation.

Brief for the architect
Add where the plot is and what matters most to you. The architect gets back within two working days.
Brief from asasak.pl: I have a plot, 100–150 m², single-storey house, modern barn, garage: in the house, start: this year.

Contact
Tell us what plot you have and where you are: an idea, a catalogue design or a ready concept. We will advise what comes next.
I start from the plot and from how you want to live, not from a catalogue. A good design is one you would not want to change after a year of living in it.
