Transcript of KSR Architects Presentation
KSR is an innovative architectural practice built on
repeat business through establishing relationships
with a broad range of clients. Over 30 years we have
built up a detailed knowledge of the property market,
particularly within the residential sector, which enables
us to react quickly to provide imaginative, effective
design solutions for:
• luxury residential apartment buildings
• prime and super prime houses and villas
• master planning
• mixed use developments
• leisure, including spas, health clubs, golf club houses
We enjoy combining our architecture and urban
planning skills with Folio’s interior design expertise
to provide a consistency of design, and our attention
to detail and love of the end product helps create
a building that will be a lasting legacy. We test our
buildings throughout the development process, from
initial appraisal to delivery, to ensure that the product is:
• what the client wants
• marketable
• affordable
• deliverable

3D MODELLING AND PRINTING
KSR Architects and Folio Design have a proven track record in
securing planning permissions and delivering to the market prime
and super prime residential developments ranging from individual
houses to multi-apartment buildings
We have a comprehensive approach to design solutions which
respond to site context, client requirements, market demand and
commercial reality as appropriate, never a ‘one size fits all’ solution
The workload of both KSR and Folio is substantially based upon
repeat business and we take pride in working closely with clients, to
take them on the journey from concept design to realisation of their
project
Our portfolio includes both luxury residential work abroad, including
Russia, Barbados and China, but also for the top end overseas
market looking at developing or living in the UK
We have won many awards including the Ring International Council
of Interior Architects and Designers Award, the China Creative Storm
Sustainability Award and twice recently the prestigious UK Evening
Standard New Residential Award
KSR works closely with Folio Design whose impressive oeuvre covers
all aspects of interior design, giving the benefit of a fully integrated
architecture and interior design service
KSR’s China office provides additional skills and resources if required,
allowing us to respond rapidly to client requests as well as providing
a testing ground for new and innovative focal projects
KSR uses Revit, a powerful 3D CAD programme, designed for
building information modelling (BIM) to create a single coordinated
parametric model for appropriate developments. We also have
in-house 3D printing facilities.

BIM: BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING
BIM: BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING
As an early adopter, KSR has used Revit as a BIM tool
for nearly 10 years to generate and manage building
data. Having captured its potential at an early stage, we
have successfully delivered projects using Revit and are
using it increasingly as an integrated tool with selected
project teams. It is our experience that this integrated
approach to managing the design process leads to
tangible benefits.
We prefer that other core consultants on the Design
Team are also BIM literate so that the project model is
shared and coordination errors minimised. We utilise
the 3D visualisation capacity of BIM to clarify and
communicate the design proposals so that our clients
are fully joined in the design development process.
KSR employs a specialist visualiser who uses the Revit
model as the basis for preparing sophisticated renders
of projects.
We are able to provide 3D views of exteriors and
interiors to help our clients understand the project and
to enable us to test the building with finishes, lighting
etc. These can also form part of the marketing strategy
for a development.
KSR also has in-house 3D printing facilities.
3D MODELLING
3D MODELLING
In the UK, KSR and Folio together comprise five
partners and approximately 30 members of staff in the
London office, with a further 25 people available in the
China office to provide backup as required.
Roles are as follows:
Partners are responsible for the smooth running of
the practice and direct involvement with projects (CVs
included).
Practice Directors provide expertise on a range of
projects covering design, technology and delivery
Project Directors are responsible for the day-to-
day running of one or more projects along with a
committed team of architects and designers
For each project, the most appropriate team is brought
together to respond to the type of project, stage
and programme demands. A project director will be
allocated and will follow the project from inception
to completion. They will be shadowed by a practice
director who will provide supplementary knowledge or
is able to step in to the management role if required.
It is also KSR policy that partners retain direct
involvement with projects. The remainder of the team
will be made up from the core of experienced architects
and designers and will remain consistent for the project
where possible.
