Architecture and Concept Development
Johan Fieten focuses on design and development issues.
He specializes in existing shopping areas and public spaces in
villages and residential areas. His method of working comprises
five successive products:
• Feasibility study and concept development
-
•Change of zoning plan (urban developmental design, process supervision, coördination of necessary research)
• Design
• Planning permit
• Aesthetic supervision
By outsourcing the remaining activities, Johan can fully
concentrate on his products. The conceptual phase is
all-defining: with relatively low costs and the right information,
it is possible to gain insight into location choice and investment
budget. Based on the concept and feasibility studie, an adequate
decision can be made with regard to purchase or lease and
planning procedures. The concept is then developed into an
urban development and building contract. For the technical
development and elaboration of the process, Johan Fieten has
an excellent network of specialized parties. Think, for instance,
of cooperating with landscape architects. Finally Johan
supervises a commission at an aestetic level, until completion.
Enterprising
Can one do more than the client expects? Johan Fieten’s former
training and experience counted four determining disciplines:
initiating, creating, organizing and budgeting. Within his own
architect’s firm FAME and later as a real estate developer, this
sum of qualities became the hallmark of his method of working.
Not only designing but also seeing opportunities and solving
problems. Doing more than what is expected. The more complex
the assignment, the greater the challenge.
Personal
In every building of his hand, Johan Fieten’s signature can be
recognized. Not pre-eminently by materials or details used but by
shape and charisma. The buildings make an impression. Or they
are perfectly in tune with the environment. Call it a statement for
or on behalf of the users. This significant feeling is the personal
design style of the architect Johan Fieten. A style where
professionalism and personality come together.
