The aim of architectural design is to plan the building as a whole.
Interior architecture focuses on the interior solutions of a building, their quality and user comfort.
We renovate old buildings to give them new life with more aesthetic, functional and energy-efficient solutions.
BIM (Building Information Modelling) design allows the creation of an accurate 3D model that includes all the building data.
Design general contracting is a turnkey service designed to ensure that your building is completed smoothly and according to plan.
Architecture and interior design are areas where interpreting ideas can be difficult, especially for those who are not used to reading technical drawings and plans.
We create solutions that reduce energy consumption, minimise the ecological footprint and increase ease of use. This means lower maintenance costs for private homes and valuable, modern real estate solutions for developers.
Energy-saving and environmentally friendly solutions reduce the ecological footprint of buildings and extend their lifetime.
Modern materials, construction techniques and digital tools (e.g. BIM) help to create smarter and more efficient buildings.
For a private house buyer, it means a home that is tailored to their needs and lifestyle. For developers, we offer market-ready, well-designed and optimised solutions that deliver long-term value.
The building must be adaptable to changing needs so that its life cycle is as long as possible.
User comfort, ergonomics, light, sound and temperature all affect people's well-being, and architecture must take these factors into account.
We balance aesthetics, functionality and quality to create architecture that stands the test of time and inspires. For a private house, this means a personal yet practical space, and for a development, it means architecture that appeals to a wider audience and adds value to the property.
Visual beauty and proportions create harmony in architecture and influence the spatial experience and emotions.
Quality architecture is not driven by short-term trends, but creates long-term value and aesthetic durability.
We manage the entire design process, involving the necessary engineers and specialists to ensure a conflict-free and smooth construction. For private clients, this means a worry-free design process, while for developers it means a cost-effective and time-optimised solution.
The building's architecture, interior design and engineering solutions must form a coherent whole in which all the elements are in harmony.
Architecture must take into account its environment and historical context to create a coherent and harmonious part of the urban space.
We offer a personalised approach to private house clients, where their vision becomes a well thought-out and feasible solution. For developers, we ensure efficient project management and practical solutions that meet budget and schedule requirements.
Buildings must be designed to meet the needs of users, providing a comfortable and logical use of space.
Buildings and spaces must be accessible and usable for all people, including the elderly, people with reduced mobility, visually impaired people and communities from different backgrounds.
The process starts with a meeting with the client, where we map the vision, functional needs and desired aesthetics. We discuss the project objectives, timeline, and potential technical and regulatory constraints to ensure a smooth design and an end result that meets expectations.
We create a concept of architectural integrity that combines aesthetics, functionality and environmental fit. The conceptual design, with 3D visualisations, helps the client to understand the final look and feel of the building or space at an early stage. In the preliminary design, we will already have a more detailed understanding of the building. The preliminary design is necessary to apply for a building permit and to obtain the necessary approvals.
We coordinate the process of applying for a building permit and obtaining the necessary approvals by preparing all the necessary documents. This ensures that the project meets the applicable requirements and can move on to the more detailed design phase.
In the basic project, we develop a more detailed technical solution, including both the architecture and the various engineering systems (heating, ventilation, electricity, structures, etc.). The aim is to ensure a complete and well-functioning building with all systems seamlessly integrated. BIM modelling supports this process by helping to identify potential conflicts and optimise solutions before the construction phase.
We will prepare a work plan that includes accurate drawings, material choices and technical instructions to ensure a high-quality and smooth construction process. This stage provides clear guidance to builders and eliminates any subsequent uncertainties or the need for redesign.
We complete the design process with a formal handover, giving the client everything they need to start construction. If you wish, we can provide an additional service of supervision to ensure the correct implementation of solutions and a high quality end result.
Architectural design focuses on the building's appearance, functionality and overall spatial design, while interior design concerns the internal solutions of the spaces, including furniture layout, choice of materials and lighting design. The two areas are closely interlinked to ensure a holistic and harmonious result.
Yes, we can also provide only a preliminary design, which includes the design of the premises and the general layout of the building, visual presentations and the application for building permits and approvals. If you would like to proceed with further design, we can start this phase after the completion of the preliminary design.
BIM (Building Information Modelling) is a modern design tool that allows you to create an accurate 3D model of a building, identify intersections and conflicts at an early stage, and avoid potential rework during the construction process. This helps to ensure better quality, time and cost efficiency, and an accurate view of the end result.
A building permit is required to start construction. Our team will take care of the application process, preparing the necessary documents and coordinating them with the relevant authorities.
The duration of the design will depend on the complexity and scale of the project. For example, a preliminary design of a private house may take 2-4 weeks to complete, while further more detailed design and preparation of a working design may take several months. We will agree an exact timetable before work starts to ensure a smooth and coordinated process.
Ignis Architecture was established in 2021 with the aim of creating thoughtful, sustainable and aesthetic spaces. The company’s CEO, Liisa Peri, holds a Master’s degree in Architecture and Urban Design from the Estonian Academy of Arts and a valid architect’s license.
