We listen and respond to our clients requirements and lifestyles, we don’t have a practice style. We are always mindful of budget, timings and programme whilst creating spaces that make our clients feel comfortable. We believe that it is essential to tailor a personal design approach that is a combination of both a client’s aspirations and personal tastes. In discussing all aspects of the project that are paramount to our client’s vision, we are able to build a detailed brief that reflects individuality. Our ultimate aim is that the our process will surpass all expectations, with a design that endures lasting legacy and timelessness.
Our concept stage outlines the developed brief and features the evolution of the interior design scheme to our client’s requirements. The content of this stage includes developed designs and mood boards capturing key design aspirations. To further convey the bespoke design aesthetics, we introduce materials and fabrics to assist in identifying colour palettes and tones to highlight the tactile and softer elements of the design scheme.
Our development stage builds upon the Concept stage to refine the final details of the design. We present the developed details, accessories, carpet, art, sculptures, soft furnishings and specifications through meticulously. In this stage, the overall design and detailed quotation is finalised through carefully mapped step by step processes.
We acquire furniture, accessories and artwork through our trusted partners and carefully selected artisans and suppliers. The pieces selected are tailored to individual tastes and in keeping with the overall design scheme. Along with the overall project team, we further produce information required for tendering the fit-out of the interior design elements and are able to suggest suitable sub-contractors and assist with the tender where necessary.
Completion A white-glove service ensures installation of your scheme is simple and stress-free. Our delivery specialists, along with our stylists will oversee the transformation of the property by bringing the design to life. We will coordinate, curate and supervise a wide range of master trades. Comprehensive and meticulous snagging will be undertaken to ensure the highest quality and workmanship is delivered. Once complete, the property is finally ready for thoughtfully placed individual accessories, right down to bouquets of fresh cut flowers.
At the heart of all of our projects is communication. Every project is different, so we like to meet our clients right at the start when we first consider the project and assess the bones of the building. We encourage clients to come to our studio to meet the team, but we’ve also built successful relationships over FaceTime too.
We listen and respond to our clients’ unique requirements, rather than rolling out a practice style. This means spending time at the outset to assess the needs of our clients and working carefully with the project team to ensure we are all aware of our individual roles. We often convey our understanding through hand-sketching, which helps bring ideas to life.
We are transparent and build honest relationships with our clients. We develop realistic budgets and work hard to stick to them. We prepare detailed guides for this and submit clear information on programme at the outset. We will identify the rooms that are important to our client and allocate the budget based on this hierarchy.
Construction and design projects are always complicated and truly individual design solutions require extra thought. We always factor thinking time into our proposals. Lateral and practical thought is fundamental to our work. We often think about whether there may be a simpler way to achieve a similar result and are always careful to consider what will work best for our client and the project team.
All of our ideas are thoroughly interrogated before they become reality. We collaborate with specialist craftspeople and artisans and discuss technical solutions with the professional team. We create technical drawing packages using SketchUp and Vectorworks, and follow the RIBA plan of work to develop our designs. We discourage starting on site until every detail has been considered, the design has been signed off and the client is happy.
With our focus on the correct interpretation of our design detailing, we offer support to the project team right the way through the construction process, commenting on and understanding their interpretation of the design throughout construction. Typically we become our clients’ eyes and ears. Post-installation we offer attentive aftercare to our clients and provide Operating, Maintenance and Cleaning Manuals for use by our clients and their staff. To date, we have had repeat projects from every client.
