Today I sat in on my first design review session with the
architectural team here at Pidcock.
As the bookkeeper I am more often preoccupied with productivity,
forecasting and payroll so it was a horizon shifting experience to
sit in on this gathering. Everyone contributed - even me, though
our clients may be relieved to know my pony-on-the-roof idea didn't
get up.
What I found fascinating was how human focused the design process
is: how is this building entrance going to make visitors feel upon
arrival. I also loved the way the sites are worked over to find a
solution that stays within client budget expectations and meets the
sustainable objectives at the same time. All options are
considered.
I love the way I am made to feel like part of a team (perhaps
someone will tell me what is wrong with my pony-on-the-roof idea
one day).
