Everyone talks about methodology, but few talk about the time it really takes to apply it. In our world – workplace design, architecture, corporate culture – time is often experienced as a race against the clock. Everything now, or everything late.
The Altis methodology was created precisely to overcome this false choice: it doesn’t slow things down, it orchestrates them. It doesn’t chase deadlines, it manages them. Because when your method is solid, time becomes an ally.
The Altis Methodology
Altis works by tuning in. First it observes, then it acts. First it listens, then it designs. First it understands, then it rewrites the rules.
Because every project has its own frequency, and our job is to catch it – before setting timelines, steps, and direction.
We’ve given our method a name: Consult – Design – Deliver
Yes, it sounds good. But more importantly, it works. Consult means opening a conversation without assumptions: we ask questions, observe the context, meet people – from the CEO to the youngest manager. Design is where thinking, data and empathy come together. We co-create scenarios, translate insights into layouts, bring needs and visions into dialogue – sometimes even a simple workshop can transform a floor plan. Deliver is more than a handover: it means leaving a lasting impact. Every space we create is also a cultural statement. It matters that the people who inhabit it feel at home, naturally.
Of course, our method includes tools. But also pauses. There are analyses and sprints – and moments of productive stillness. All of them are necessary stages. And while it might seem like lost time, to us it’s the only way not to waste it.
Our Competitive Advantage? Sensitivity
In real estate, time is a critical variable: if construction runs late, penalties follow; if the office isn’t ready, you’re paying double rent. Everything revolves around time sensitivity, yet it’s one of the hardest sectors to manage it well. Altis starts here: by delivering projects that are solid, punctual and aligned with the brief. If there’s a budget, we respect it. If there’s a deadline, we’re ready.
It’s not just about efficiency – it’s about designing with the real constraints of our clients in mind, and understanding the tangible impact of every delay – financial and organisational.
To us, reading time means this: knowing when to accelerate, when to pause and reassess, and when to simply let the idea take shape.
This isn’t flexibility – it’s conscious design, the kind that seeds real change.
On Time, On Budget. Anywhere
Altis works across several countries, collaborating with local teams to adapt our method to each context’s cultural, regulatory and operational specifics. That’s how we keep our promise: staying on time and on budget without compromising design quality. Because for us, the goal is always the same: shaping a space that works just as we – together with the client – imagined it.
