The Design Process
First, we get to know each other. We listen to what is important to you and how you lead your life. We pay attention to the small details as well as the big ideas. We help distill your dreams, your vision and your aesthetic. Then, and only then, do we roll up our sleeves and get to work.
01. PROJECT INITIATION
INITIAL CONSULTATION:
Our team of building designers and interior designers commence every design project with a two-hour on-site working meeting with our principal designers, Angela & Andre. This meeting allows clients to express their ideas, goals and expectations. We listen carefully, asking pertinent questions to ensure we understand the vision thoroughly.Our team will discuss the brief, review the scope of work and assist you in determining the budget. We will openly share our insight, experience and ideas as we roam the house and discuss your life’s journey and your dreams for the future. Our expertise lies in reimagining spaces in ways you have never thought of, so we must get to know you and the property before embarking on the residential interior design journey together.
FEE PROPOSAL & CONTRACT:
Following our meeting, we will prepare a tailored fee proposal for your project and send it to you along with our contract. This document outlines the scope of work, project timelines and fee estimates, ensuring no surprises down the line.
02. RESEARCH & DESIGN
DESIGN DOCUMENTATION:
Once you have engaged our interior and building designers, we formally kick off the project with a site day, where we take detailed measurements and photos, delve deeper into your brief and consult with our trusted team of trades.We then get to work analysing, creating, and resolving every aspect of the architecture and residential interior design, selecting and documenting all the elements required to realise your project. From structural building work and custom joinery design to material selections and furnishings, our team works collaboratively to have everything meticulously detailed and priced. These documents ensure that every aspect of the design is planned and executed.
03. PRESENTATION
CLIENT PRESENTATION:
When we are ready to reveal our fully resolved concept, we will arrange a meeting with you to present the design and costs. We assemble a full design package which includes full architectural drawings, 3D images, specification schedules, samples of all selected finishes, furnishing images and custom fabric samples, plus an itemised budget.
04. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
INITIATION OF STRUCTURAL WORK:
We take care of the approval process (if necessary), working closely with our experienced town planner and certifier. Once required approvals are obtained, our building designers in Sydney will prepare a full set of technical working drawings for structural work and built-in joinery. We then initiate and oversee the tender process, accessing our network of trusted trades and builders. Our team ensures that all structural modifications are completed to the highest standards, adhering to safety regulations and design specifications.CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION:
Once construction is underway, we monitor on-site work closely. We facilitate site meetings to ensure the work is consistent with our design intent, liaise with the builder and trades to resolve any potential construction issues and generally ensure that every aspect of construction meets our strict quality control. Our proactive approach helps mitigate any issues that may arise, keeping the project on track and within budget.ORDER PLACEMENT:
We carefully select and order all required materials, furnishings and accessories to bring our design vision to life. Our team manages the procurement process, ensuring that every item meets our quality standards and aligns with the design concept. Orders are placed, and we constantly manage timelines and logistics.FURNITURE INSTALLATION & STYLING:
Once structural work is completed, the real fun commences with our interior design services. We will arrange for our principal interior designer to install and style the furniture, artwork, lighting, wallpaper, window treatments and accessories. Our team oversees the delivery and installation of all furniture pieces, ensuring they are placed perfectly to create a harmonious and functional space. We also add the finishing touches, such as artwork and decorative accessories, to complete the look.
05. PROJECT COMPLETION
FINAL WALK-THROUGH:
The final walk-through is an exciting moment for our clients. During this phase, we take you through the completed space, highlighting the design elements and addressing any final adjustments.Once we have completed the final walk-through of the interior design for your home and resolved any issues or defects that may have cropped up, we will leave you in peace to experience the joy of living in a home designed just for you.
