The Successful Architectural Outcome of Scissor House

The successful architectural outcome of Scissor House by a sole practitioner in the EmAGN demographic is built evidence of leadership and substantial professional development gained by Owen Abbott. The delivery of the project enabled Owen to shape his approach to architectural practice in a variety of circumstances. Design communication between client and architect was refined by developing a clarity and efficiency of presentation style. Quality assurance processes were in place to aid the client’s comprehension and management of quantity and cost allowances.

Owen’s commitment to clear documentation of project communication ensured collaboration between client, builder and consultants was improved and benefited the progression of the works for all parties. This was further demonstrated by on-site involvement during construction where Owen was able to effectively identify, instruct and coordinate solutions to ensure both architectural and client design intent were achieved. 

Owen’s contribution to all aspects of design, documentation and procurement of Scissor House has resulted in a delightful collection of carefully integrated architectural additions both internal and external, culminating in a cohesive extension of a modest home that preserves future site adaptation and flexibility for its owners.
