Architects have a responsibility to prioritise commercial practicalities over design aesthetics in order to deliver financially viable projects for their clients.

This includes considering project budgets, market fluctuations, and potential issues such as easements, covenants, and party-wall matters. It is crucial for architects to advise clients on what is possible before any money is spent on unfeasible designs.

By finding creative solutions to complex problems and considering the bigger picture, architects can ensure that their designs are both visually appealing and commercially viable.
