Project PROCESS
Services we offer:
CONCEPT DESIGN
Developing your dream
In response to a client's brief, a concept design presentation is created for discussion. This includes suggested brickwork & structural changes, furniture layouts and precedent images mood boards.
CONSTRUCTION
Detail design + working drawings
This stage entails detailing up the concept design stage into working drawings for construction. These include lighting & electrical layouts, bathroom design & sourcing, kitchen design, finishes specifications & procurement. During this stage the furniture & window treatments are also sourced. We also attend site meetings with the various contractors during this phase to ensure a seamless process.
HANDOVER
Final installation + styling
With construction completed, we arrange for a full site clean before installing the furniture, window treatments and accessories. We then coordinate the delivery and positioning of all furniture and custom made fixed furniture, as well as curate artwork and home accessories, to create the finished look. We also dress your new interior with your existing treasures, to give each room your own personal feel.
“The details are not the details, they make the design.”
