Case Study: PMR Architecture delivers sustainable rural family homes with Graphisoft Archicad

PMR Architecture delivers 2 sustainable homes with Graphisoft

The customer, PMR Architecture, faced the challenge of designing two sustainable, low-cost family homes on a tight budget within a rural planning landscape. They needed to secure permission for a new structure after a previous design was rejected, requiring close collaboration with local authorities. Using Graphisoft's Archicad BIM software, the architect engaged in real-time 3D design sessions with planners to adapt the proposal.

The solution using Graphisoft's Archicad enabled real-time collaborative design changes, efficient creation of construction drawings, and clear 3D visualization for the client and contractors. This BIM process was integral to gaining planning approval and managing the cost-sensitive build. The results were two high-quality, energy-efficient homes built rapidly with a low embodied carbon footprint, demonstrating a viable model for affordable rural housing.
