ABOUT US These tenets could be summed up by the word SYNECTICS, which has been central to director Andy Macdonald's beliefs for some time now. Previous incarnations that reflect this, include collaborative ventures such as multi-disciplinary design group in Amsterdam called Elastic Skeleton. Every project/exploration we conceive is based on these tenets rather then being style-based or derivative. That is not to say that everything we do is 100% original, as we believe that not only is this not possible - it is not something to be strived for as there are many lessons to be learnt from others. SERVICES At MAC Interactive, we believe that excellence in architecture is about much more than designing beautiful objects and spaces. It is about providing a full service from the first point of contact with the client, right through to the hand over of the finished product. The Services we offer include: Conceptual analysis of sites and individual situations Feasibility Studies and Brief Formulation Consultancy and Schematic Design Preparation of Documents for Approval inc. S.E.E. Negotiations with the relevant authorities Detailed Design and Documentation inc. the coordination of consultants Calling of tenders, analysis of returns, advise and negotiate Administration of Building Contracts and attend site for regular inspections Whilst these processes can be split up, we believe that the best products come from a continuity of process and attention to the detail within the framework of the bigger picture. This bigger picture is (or at least should be) a process of collaboration and shared vision Architecture In our work we believe that many of the basic building blocks of design (scale, balance, harmony, proportion, sequence, colour, contrast, etc.) are all based in perception. The essence of architecture for us, lies in its location within the environment and its inextricable relation to light. That is both its context (genius loci) and the object based nature of buildings (ego). Contact us today for more information.
