THE NARRATIVE PROCESS

  • In consultation we establish your brief and aspirations, the scope of work and your budget - this guides the process + our journey together.

    This consultation will also provide you the opportunity to share any items (materials, appliances, fittings, fixtures, finishes) that have been pre-selected for your project.

    We then prepare and present a quote outlining the service/s to be provided.

  • On acceptance of your quote, we will proceed with space planning options and initial interior concepts, layered with preliminary selections of finishes, fittings/fixtures + lighting.

    The goal of this stage is to develop a conceptual design direction that responds to both the aesthetic and functional requirements of your future home.

  • Once you have approved the conceptual stage, a rigorous process ensues whereby the initial ideas are crafted into a unique design language. At this stage we develop and present -

    • Plans and Elevations of key areas, including kitchens, bathrooms and joinery throughout

    • Preliminary fixtures, fittings and appliance + selections + Schematic designs of features, including staircases, fireplaces ect + Lighting design intent - layouts and fittings

  • This is the stage where the design starts to take shape and becomes a reality. We complete documentation and send out for quotation + assist with the evaluation and any revisions required.

    After final sign off of the documentation and costing, our drawings and schedules are issued for construction.

  • We engage in communication with your builder and subtrades. Attend consultant and client site meetings at integral stages of your build, to ensure the interior design is executed to plan.
