DALLEAU Atelier protocols

A method inside the mandate, not a menu of add-ons.

Nine protocols connect the site, household brief, protected rooms, environmental systems, specialist appointments, commissioning, operations and asset memory.

Private Brief, Feasibility Study and Full Development Mandate remain the public ways to engage DALLEAU.

How Atelier enters the work

Three public engagements. Nine internal protocols.

The protocol system strengthens DALLEAU’s existing commercial architecture. It does not compete with it. The client does not have to assemble a technical menu.

Group 01

Baseline and brief

Before design decisions become expensive to reverse, DALLEAU records the site conditions, operating modes, household journeys, privacy requirements and unresolved risks that the project has to carry.

P01

Tropical Site and Resilience Baseline

A structured review of heat, rain, humidity, noise, access, utilities, maintenance and operating conditions before the concept is fixed.

Featured protocol

P02

Household Use, Sensory and Flow Brief

A residence brief built around arrival, hosting, privacy, staff movement, retreat, children, work, service and change over time.

Group 02

Protected performance

These protocols resolve questions that are often split between architects, engineers, specialists, integrators, contractors and operators. DALLEAU keeps the owner’s intent visible across those boundaries.

P03

Protected Bedroom Performance Protocol

An integrated bedroom protocol for light, darkness, quiet, thermal stability, humidity, airflow, privacy, control and night-time operation.

Featured protocol

P05

Acoustic Privacy and Quiet Systems Study

A specialist-led study of quiet-side planning, privacy, event noise, rain, equipment, vibration and night-time operation.

P06

Age-Ready Adaptability Plan

A practical adaptability plan for access, bathrooms, routes, controls, future supports, staff workflows and changing household needs.

P07

Intelligent Residence Readiness Review

A readiness review for local control, manual override, network and power resilience, replaceability, privacy, cybersecurity and clear handover.

Group 03

Verification and memory

Intent is carried into tests, training, corrective actions, the Building Passport and post-occupancy learning.

P09

Building Passport and Data Stewardship Plan

An owner-readable record of decisions, assets, hidden work, tests, settings, warranties, maintenance and later changes.

Where the protocols act

Each protocol creates decisions and release conditions inside the project.

A gate may be passed with an open item only when the remaining risk, responsible party, due date and effect on later work are recorded.

  1. 01Land and feasibility
  2. 02Household brief
  3. 03Concept and coordinated design
  4. 04Procurement and construction
  5. 05Commissioning and opening
  6. 0630-day, seasonal and annual learning

Land and feasibility

Site evidence, operating assumptions and material red flags are recorded before a land or concept recommendation.

Household brief

Owner use, guest patterns, privacy, staff routes, retreat, service and residence modes are resolved before the room programme hardens.

Concept and coordinated design

Performance questions become criteria, specialist scopes and mock-up requirements.

Procurement and construction

Exact products, interfaces, service access and concealed work are verified before purchase or closure.

Commissioning and opening

Rooms and systems are tested in their intended modes before release.

30-day, seasonal and annual learning

The residence is reviewed in use and the Building Passport is updated.

Release conditions

Evidence has to exist before the project moves on.

Rule 01

No invisible assumption

A project target is linked to its source class, owner decision, responsible specialist and method of verification.

Rule 02

No closing without evidence

High-risk concealed work is not covered until the required photographs, tests, location record and sign-off are complete.

Rule 03

No purchase by image or brand alone

The exact model, interface, constraint, local support and maintenance access are confirmed before purchase order.

Rule 04

No self-verification where independence matters

The party designing, selling or installing a system is not the only party validating a material public performance claim.

Rule 05

No opening before operations are defined

Critical settings, vacancy modes, staff actions, alerts, manual overrides and escalation routes are trained and documented.

Rule 06

No publication without a release gate

Evidence grade, method, privacy, permission, specialist review, limitations and net impression are checked before release.

Two records, two different jobs

The decision history and the asset history must not be confused.

Owner’s Control Report

A concise record of owner objectives, options, risks, appointed specialists, hold points, deviations, accepted conditions and approvals. It explains why the project moved forward.

Building Passport

The residence record for assets, drawings, hidden work, photographs, tests, settings, warranties, maintenance, incidents and later changes.

Post-occupancy learning

The review of how the residence performs in use, what was corrected and what can reasonably be carried into a future project or public Applied Note.

Appointed expertise

DALLEAU coordinates the question. Specialists remain responsible for their work.

Architects, engineers, building scientists, acousticians, lighting specialists, commissioning providers, occupational therapists, integrators, cybersecurity advisers and other appointed specialists retain responsibility for their professional conclusions and acceptance criteria.

Start with the project

The right protocol depends on the site, household and decision in front of you.
