Initial Consultation & Proposal

Typically held on Zoom for ease and flexibility, we take a detailed brief to prepare your itemised design fee breakdown, creating a tailored proposal for your budget and requirements. Clients are also welcome (and encouraged, if you have time) to complete the initial consultation via a visit to our Studio, allowing you to experience our high-level of standards and capabilities first-hand.

1

SITE VISIT & MEASURED SURVEY

Once you’re happy to proceed, your dedicated design team will meet you on-site to walk through the space, taking the opportunity to gather any final briefing details in person. We’ll organise a full measured survey, producing the CAD drawings of the existing space to form the technical foundation for design. If architectural plans already exist (for example, in the case of new builds or extensions), we can work directly from those, moving straight into concept development.

CONCEPT & LAYOUT STAGE

This is where the fun and excitement really begin, as we develop the overarching vision for your new interior. Through carefully curated ‘look and feel’ boards and considered layout options, we explore the aesthetic direction, colour palette, materials and spatial functionality of each area.

3

DETAILED DESIGN STAGE

Once the concept is approved, we translate the vision into a fully resolved design. This stage encompasses the interior architecture packages, delivered through detailed drawings and precise specifications. From finishes and materials to fixtures, fittings and trusted brands, we create comprehensive, trade-ready packages that ensure clarity on site and a seamless build process.

FF&E SPECIFICATION

FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) refers to the movable elements of your project. With countless options available, we simplify the process, narrowing down a tailored selection of furnishings, lighting, window treatments and decorative pieces. Each piece is chosen to complement the design, fitting your space, functionality and budget criteria.

5

TENDER STAGE

We support you in selecting the right professional team. From contractors and trades, to architects where needed, we provide our trade-ready packages and interior scope of works to facilitate a cost-transparent tender process. Whether you choose to work with our trusted professionals or bring on your own team, we ensure everyone is fully aligned with the vision from the outset.

6

DESIGN MANAGEMENT

During construction and implementation, we remain actively involved, making regular site visits and supporting the team to ensure quality and alignment with the design. While we’re not site managers, we’re available to answer site questions, resolve issues and oversee progress to make sure the final result meets your expectations.

7

PROCUREMENT & INSTALLATION

From procurement logistics to delivery and specialist installation, we manage every detail to ensure a seamless, stress-free experience. Whether it’s coordinating product delivery schedules to maintain site momentum, or organising the final touches once major works are complete, we ensure every element is perfectly in place.
