Modern Day Architecture and Its Impact

The world has changed a lot – we can all agree to this! Thanks to urbanization, one of the industries that has seen a massive surge in demand is architecture. Almost every day, foundations are laid for new buildings.

Not only that, most architecture companies are always piled up with tons of work – retail shop design, residential interior design, commercial buildings, commercial interior design, institutional buildings, single residences, multi-residential apartment complexes – you name it.

Any individual who wants to invest in building – be it private or commercial understands that he/she has to put in money, time, and effort to achieve success. In addition, they have to liaise with a professional architectural company that can guide them through. An ideal architect would be one who considers architecture as being more than just a building.

As you might already know that it very important to consider the geographical settings before delving into construction. The soil differs from place to place, and what works for me might not even be a close fit for your place of choice. But, if you are in Australia and are looking for a reputable architecture firm, this article has got you covered.

One of the highly acclaimed names in the architectural industry is that of a Perth-based multi-disciplinary architecture and interior design firm which specializes in Environment Sustainable Design. This studio of Western Australian architects was initially established as a boutique practice with the aim of promoting architecture and educating the common folk about how well-thought and strategized designs can improve their lifestyle.

This team of Perth Architects include skilled and talented individuals such as commercial architects, residential architects, interior designers, and architects who specialize in small to large scale developments.

They are a progressive local practice with clients and projects in Perth, Regional Western Australia, the eastern states and overseas including Malaysia, Indonesia and South Africa. The firm and the principal are registered with the Architects Board of Western Australia and The Board of Architects of Queensland.

Not only do these residential architect Perth build buildings and commercial spaces, they also design furniture and other custom products to suit their architecture and interior designs or by special requests as individual designs. Presently, they have clients which include government, councils, home owners, franchises, corporations, retailers, charity organizations, and small to large scale property developers.

Let’s not beat around the bush, and tell you who we are referring to! The Architects Perth that we are talking about is none other than Gerry Kho Architects who are a reputable firm in the Western Australian architecture industry for retail design. They have commissions in all major shopping centers and malls in Perth belonging to property groups like Westfield, AMP Capital, Stockland, Hawaiian, and Centro.

What Sets GK Architects Apart?

Every project emerging from the office of Gerry Kho Architects is approached with a strong emphasis on design concepts, creative responses, functional solutions and understanding of the client’s individual or collective needs with environmental sustainability and efficiency as the core to design decisions. They actively promote and educate environmental sustainable design to the clients and also the public as evident in the nature of their projects, architectural forums, teaching at TAFE and Universities, and their presence in the media.

Every member of the GK Architects team is committed to liaising closely with each other, their clients, authorities and the consultants to achieve the best possible outcomes. The team consists of talented, skilled and experienced individuals who are in the forefront of design with a shared philosophy and interest in contemporary, cutting edge design and commitment to environmental sustainable architecture.

They consider the consultants and contractors that they work with as part of the team of Western Australian Architects. They have a number of carefully selected consultants and contractors whom they have great rapport and who understands GK’s design philosophies and the needs of the clients. As Perth Architects, they are continually finding new skilled and talented consultants and contractors in the industry to work with as this benefits our clients and our projects.

Gerry Kho Architects’ commitment to the environment extends beyond the creation of environmentally sustainable architecture and into the daily running of the office. They strive towards a paperless office, recycle the wastes where possible and encourage consultants and clients to receive and supply electronic documents to minimize printing hardcopies and in turn minimize the use of paper and ink [cartridges]. And the savings from using less paper and ink is passed down to the clients so they benefit from GK’s environmental management of the office directly.

To add to this, the team of GK Architects have an extensive understanding of code, regulations, and what city building departments are looking for, thus, there can be no tendency to over-design things that can be done more efficiently just to be safe and forego uncertainty.

When you opt for someone experienced for your dream project, you can rest assured of receiving the best possible services. A common problem among freshly qualified architects or students is to try to use too many ideas. They almost always are over concerned with the ‘concept’ instead of responding to the site in an uncomplicated straightforward way.

They also fail to have built up a repertoire of architectural elements, for example you should have developed an approach to designing entrances to your buildings, connections, details i.e. they try to reinvent the wheel on each project. But, with GK Architects, you don’t have to bother about anything. Team GK’s cultural diversity allows them to relate to, appreciate and respond to the different customs, traditions and lifestyles of their clients. Their diversity offers a unique perspective into the approach to architectural design as it both inspires and informs the design decisions in a contemporary and yet culturally sensitive manner.

To sum it up, if you are in Australia and are on the look-out for an architectural company that are not overthinking, under thinking, trying too hard, using the wrong materials, or thinking that odd angles are modern and creative, you should seriously think about consulting with GK Architects
