Client

« Back to Glossary Index

In the context of architecture and residential design, a "Client" refers to the individual, group, or organization that commissions and funds a project. The client is the primary decision-maker and the party for whom the architect designs the building or space. They are responsible for outlining the project brief, setting the budget, approving designs, and entering into a formal agreement with the architect.

In residential architecture, the client is typically a homeowner, developer, or investor seeking to build, renovate, or extend a private dwelling. The architect works closely with the client to understand their needs, preferences, lifestyle, and goals to deliver a tailored design solution.
