Floor plan and axes
Every project begins with a floor plan. Axes, rooms and load-bearing points define the basis everything else is built on.
- 02
Structural system
The skeleton grows from those points. Columns, beams and slabs stand, yet the separate parts do not add up to a connected process.
- 03
Disciplines and layers
Ventilation, water, electrical and supply run through the building as their own layers. Each is complete in itself and knows little of the others. The colours identify the disciplines only.

- Water
- Electrical

The building
Facade, windows, balconies, roof and interior rooms complete the structure into one coherent residential building. Separate parts become an order in which every element has its place.
- 05
Information with a reference
Individual objects come forward with restraint and their references stay traceable through GlobalIds. Information keeps its link to the place it came from.
- 06
The decision stays with the office
The context is laid out clearly. The professional judgment and the responsibility stay with the people who carry the project.
- 07
Everything in one place
What was separate before now stands together. At the entrance the door opens, and behind it ArchOS brings the individual pieces together in one place.
Our point of view
A digital project is not yet a digital process.
Models, documents, images and data can all be digital and still remain disconnected.
Digitalisation begins when information becomes easier to use, connect and understand.
The goal is not more software.
It is better digital collaboration.

Clearly structured.
Information. Evidence. Decision context.
ArchOS is a software-supported workspace for IFC-based model information. It helps show what observable information is present within a defined evaluation scope, where clarification may be needed, and which model objects an observation relates to.
Professional decisions remain human.
