THE DESIGN PROCESS
INITIAL MEETING
Understanding our clients tastes and aspirations for a space are key to every project. This first meeting gives us a chance to get-to-know the client, how they want to use the space and the extent of the project ahead. At this stage we can gauge the level of design and creative input required and advise the client.
DESIGN RESEARCH
At this stage we collaborate with the client to hone down the style direction.
FLOOR PLANS & LAYOUT SKETCHES
We start to draw up layout plans for the optimum use of space and sketch 2D elevations. We find this a simple yet effective way of visualising ideas without the use of time consuming CGI’s.
DESIGN SCHEME
In this key part of the process we design the scheme to include everything from bespoke furniture pieces to wall and floor coverings, fireplaces, soft furnishings, artwork and lighting-using our trusted specialist supplier base. This is a lengthy part of the process with research into every possible option and costing. We carefully balance the design concept with function right down to ensuring services are placed appropriately.
PRESENTATION
The most exciting and rewarding part of the process. We present the proposed scheme to the client, room by room, detail by detail, with the use of mood boards, talking them layout plans, fabric samples, surface finishes and wall and floor coverings. Every client is presented with a bespoke set of samples and plans so they can absorb the design at their leisure.
REVIEW
At this stage we cost up the proposed scheme, and incorporating feedback from the client, iron out the final design and begin to place orders.
IMPLEMENTATION
To ensure we meet and surpass our clients expectations we meticulously project manage the installation of the design ensuring our ongoing support throughout. We co-ordinate all tradesmen and the timely delivery of bespoke furniture items, accessories and soft furnishings. We put in place all of the finishing touches to create a personal and beautiful space.
