A+DS Design Review

steven spier design review

The Design Review process, through appraisal and evaluation, assists those responsible for the development of the built environment by offering informed advice on the design quality of proposals.

A+DS Design Review panels are comprised of Board members with a diverse range of professional skills and experience in the built environment. 

Design Review 2

A+DS Design Review Panels consider proposals for projects of all types and sizes, but generally they will be projects which:

  • Are significant because of size or public impact
  • Are significant because of their location
  • Set new standards for the future
  • Raise recurring design issues or problems experienced nationally

They may range from large-scale masterplans to designs for individual buildings.
