A HOLISTIC DESIGN APPROACH…

We understand that the design process can feel overwhelming, so we take our role as leaders in your journey seriously. Our objective and mission are to provide an experience that is streamlined, predictable, and ultimately as enjoyable as possible. Whether collaborating with individual clients or working as part of a team – including architects and builders – our commitment to our clients is rooted in transparency, clear communication, exceptional customer service, and timely execution.

01. IDENTITY & LIFESTYLE

Every project begins with meaningful conversations about your lifestyle, goals, and vision. To deepen our understanding, we provide a comprehensive intake document designed to inspire reflection on what matters most to you. A meeting is scheduled to review and refine those insights, and establish a clear direction for the next phase. This guide becomes our touchstone throughout the project, to ensure that we remain focused on your unique needs.

02. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Building on the insights gathered from our intake meeting, we explore inspiration from various sources and create mood boards that highlight proposed color schemes, textures, finishes, and style elements. Working with our clients to refine these elements ensures they serve as visual guidelines, shaping the overall design direction.

03. SPACE ANALYSIS

During this phase, we conduct a comprehensive review of the architectural plans to assess the spatial strengths and limitations. This evaluation offers valuable insights into the potential of the space – guiding design decisions and ensuring alignment with the vision we’ve defined together. It provides a solid foundation for all structural, functional, and creative planning moving forward.

04. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

In this phase we dive into the finer details. We thoughtfully refine layouts to make the most of your space and ensure a natural, flowing connection between each area. Every decision is made with care to ensure that the design fully aligns with the vision we’ve created together.
We produce key drawings that include floor plans, elevations, millwork, and sections, and that provide clear guidelines essential for the construction and implementation phases. These drawings include detailed dimensions and technical notes that communicate the design intent clearly.
Material selection plays a pivotal role. We carefully curate materials, finishes, and color schemes – balancing aesthetic appeal, and functionality. Furniture, fabrics, and fixtures are chosen to complement the overall design vision to ensure a harmonious and unified outcome.
To bring the vision to life, we craft mood boards featuring tactile selections of finishes, fixtures, furniture, and fabrics. At this stage we also design bespoke elements, such as custom furniture, lighting, and interior details, as we work with a trusted network of global and local artisans.
Through continuous collaboration, we ensure that the design concept is perfectly aligned before moving forward with quoting and procurement.

05. IMPLEMENTATION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The implementation phase focuses on finalizing and documenting all decisions made for your project. Detailed schedules are shared with clients and their construction teams.
Quoting and procurement of materials and furnishings are carefully managed to ensure both quality and timely delivery that are in line with the project schedule. Weekly client updates include the status of orders, delivery timelines, studio progress, and any outstanding decisions required.
For new construction or renovation projects, we provide comprehensive project management and coordinate directly with your builder or contractor. Weekly meetings – either in person or by phone – ensure clear communication. We oversee every aspect of the design process – from project management and procurement to final installation – ensuring smooth coordination and transparent communication across all teams.
