The Workflow of a Multidisciplinary Design Studio

Understanding the Architectural Workflow Behind Great Design

At ABN Design Studio, our goal is simple — to bring ideas to life through seamless design and execution. Whether it's architectural drafting, interior modeling, 3D visualization, or construction documentation, every project we touch follows a refined architectural workflow that ensures precision, quality, and speed.

In this blog, we’ll take you behind the scenes of how a multidisciplinary design studio like ours works, blending creativity with technical expertise across multiple services.

1. Project Discovery & Requirement Gathering

Every great project starts with listening.

We begin by understanding the client’s vision, needs, timeline, and goals. This phase includes:

• Initial consultation

• Site analysis (if applicable)

• Review of sketches, references, or scanned drawings

• Defining the project scope and deliverables

Whether it’s a villa in Spain or a commercial space in Los Angeles, this step sets the foundation.

2. Planning the Architectural Workflow

Once the brief is clear, we map out the architectural workflow specific to the project type — whether it's drafting, BIM, interior visualization, or 3D rendering.

This includes:

• Selecting the right team members (architects, CAD drafters, 3D artists)

• Setting up the project timeline

• Choosing tools and file formats (DWG, RVT, SKP, etc.)

• Establishing milestone check-ins

The goal? Zero confusion and smooth execution.

3. Design Development & Drafting

Now, the creative work begins.For architectural and CAD projects, this stage includes:

• Drafting detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections

• 2D to 3D modeling if required

• Layer management and standard compliance

• Revisions based on client feedback

We keep our clients in the loop with weekly updates or Loom walkthroughs.

4. Visualization & Presentation

For clients opting for 3D or photorealistic rendering services, this phase brings the project to life.

Our artists create:

• High-quality interior and exterior renders

• Furniture, lighting, and texture detailing

• Walkthrough animations or still shots

• Revisions until it feels just right

This is where clients start seeing their vision in vivid detail.

5. Documentation & Delivery

After approval, all files are finalized and sent as per the required formats.We deliver:

• Final CAD files (DWG, PDF)

• Render images or animations

• Working drawings, if part of the package

• Optional: Upload via client’s preferred cloud or our secure delivery folder

Quality-checked. Deadline-honored. Satisfaction-guaranteed.

6. Post-Delivery Support

Our workflow doesn’t just stop at delivery.We also offer:

• Support for revisions (if required)

• File format conversions

• Long-term collaboration for ongoing architectural projects

• White-label services for firms in USA, UK, Australia, and beyond
