Four steps to your new interior

After you fill in the contact form, we ring you. In that call we discuss what you need help with and whether our way of working suits you; it has to click on both sides. If it does, we plan a conversation at the studio, and you get some homework first. We ask for a building drawing of your home and for images of interiors that appeal to you, and you fill in our digital programme of wishes. That way everyone arrives at the studio well prepared.

Step 1. The sketch design

In the sketch phase we build your home in our design software, and we come and measure on site if needed. This is where the first ideas take shape and the layout is worked out against your programme of wishes and your images. We also set out materials: some because they clearly fit your wishes, some deliberately chosen to provoke a reaction, because your response tells us more about what you find beautiful. The sketch design becomes a presentation, shown on the big screen when we go through it together.

Because we like to surprise you, there is a fair chance the presentation holds ideas you had not considered. So we give you time to think it over, usually a week. After that we work your feedback in, arrive at the definitive layout of your interior, and move on to the next phase.

Step 2. The preliminary design

Now the interior takes its provisional shape. It is an intensive phase, because everything that belongs to the concept is added: a furniture plan, a carefully worked-out lighting plan, taps, door hardware, and the floor, wall and window treatments. Bespoke joinery comes in here too, such as kitchens, cabinets, bathroom furniture and walk-in wardrobes. We resolve the points where one material meets the next, so the whole reads as one design, and where useful we build 3D models and impressions.

Step 4. The build

From design we move to the real work. We order all the goods and store them in our own warehouse until it is time to install. Even with a detailed plan, the contractor, the installer or the floor layer will have questions along the way; those questions come to us. We take over the consultation with the trades, attend the site meetings and supervise the build, so the plan is carried out to the letter. That saves you time you do not have, and it asks for building knowledge most clients understandably lack.

Once the building work is finished and handed over, the furniture can come in. We load everything at the warehouse and come to set it in place; where needed we bring in a furniture lift or a crane, for an apartment or a penthouse. A day after the furniture and wall decoration are in, we return to complete the work with the interior styling.
