Process

  • 01. Introduction + Ideas

    We begin by getting to know you, how you live, work and play and most of all what inspires you. This guides our process and journey together.

    This is where the creative process starts by preparing various space planning options along with preliminary sections, elevations, and moodboards for lighting, furniture, and finishes. Our goal here is to develop a concept design direction that captures the overarching look and feel, interprets your style, aesthetic and functional requirements.

    During this phase, we establish a brief, define the scope of work, discuss the budget, and outline the contract.

    02. Design Development

    Once the concept phase is approved, we further develop the brief, and infuse creativity and expertise into the project. Here we develop and present:

    • Plans and elevations of key areas

    • Preliminary schedules of furniture, fixtures and equipment

    • Schematic designs for custom joinery

    • Lighting design and furniture intent

    • Material samples and site visits

    • We also establish any necessary approvals to ensure the project moves forward smoothly

  • 03. Detail Documentation + Specification

    This is the phase where all design elements start taking shape. We work closely with you specifying, sourcing, and engaging all necessary products and trades.

    We will complete the documentation for the tender process and collaborate with the required consultants (architects, landscapers, engineers, audio specialists, etc.) to coordinate services.

    After the documentation and costs are approved we issue drawings and schedules for construction.

    We attend on-site meetings regularly to ensure all details and designs are executed precisely.

  • 04. Installation

    We manage all aspects of transforming your project into a finished, welcoming space. As the project nears completion, we handle the following:

    • Procurement of furnishings, including quality control

    • Delivery coordination

    • Installation of window treatments

    • Artwork

    • Decor placement

    • Project closure


    This is where everything comes together seamlessly.
