Designing Tropical Habitats in Harmony with Nature and Community

Conceptual Design & Consulting Services

For self-builders, early-stage developers, and clients seeking professional guidance at an accessible cost.

At Arquídea, we believe good design begins with understanding — the land, the climate, and your vision. The conceptual design phase is where ideas take shape and where we help you avoid costly mistakes later.

This service is ideal for limited budgets or DIY-focused projects, providing a professional foundation so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

What’s Included

• Site analysis (climate, topography, and environmental context)
• Conceptual design and master plan
• Layout plan (access, parking, paths, stairs, planting, and water strategies)
• Architectural concept and spatial program
• Facade sketches and material palette
• 3D model with virtual walkthrough
• Schematic lighting and plumbing plans
• Construction system consulting
• Parametric cost estimation

Optional hourly consulting: layout review, site orientation, building placement, material selection, or early design validation — a flexible and accessible way to benefit from more than 23 years of professional experience without the cost of full architectural services.

⚠️ Note: Conceptual design is not a construction drawing set. It is the strategic framework that guides all technical and development phases that follow.
