Approach to structure

Nadia’s focus is the relationship between structural clarity and architectural ambition. Her role brings the frame into the design conversation early, helping the team consider how spaces, loads and material choices fit together.

A clear structural strategy gives other disciplines a shared starting point. The scale of a space, the rhythm of its supports and the routes needed for services all influence one another; resolving those relationships is central to an integrated design.

Areas of focus

Structural systems, coordination with architecture and the practical expression of junctions sit at the heart of this role. The emphasis is on making complex requirements understandable so the wider team can weigh options and move forward with a coherent approach.

For clients, that means bringing questions about open space, future flexibility and the character of the building into the same discussion as its structural logic.

Starting the conversation

Share the spaces you need, any existing drawings and the constraints that matter most to your brief. Questions about long spans, adapting an existing frame or coordinating a new structure are useful starting points for a conversation with our engineering team.
