Preparation & Brief: We use this period to produce a consolidated lookbook document with the objective being to align our ambitions for the project and develop the relationship between Designer and Client. This is a preamble to any design, and prompts us to ask questions about what’s required from the project, as well as what inspires. Initial concept imagery illustrating character and key elements of the design for the project will be considered and highlighted.

Full Design Concept: After reviewing the Lookbook with the client, we will develop the look, the feel and the aesthetic direction for the project. The culmination of this process will be a formal design concept presentation and document where we will present a detailed narrative that includes mood imagery, suggested colours, materials, furniture items, design elements, details and the overall scheme layout for the entire project.

Technical Design: Upon approval of of the Design Concept, we move on to refining the design, plans and specifications. This phase will include the preparation and finalisation of design intent drawings for specialist finishes, joinery, lighting and furniture – all of which are based on the agreed Design Concept. We will prepare furniture, fittings, and equipment (FF&E) schedules and summaries and prepare specifications for procurement.

Construction Administration: During this work stage we will be supporting the contractor and sub-consultant team in the implementation of our design in situ. A schedule of site visits is established and there will be regular progress reports and communication with additional visits scheduled around particularly important phases of construction.

Installation & Handover: The design studio will attend the site as required to facilitate installation and handover of the project, including accessorising and styling, and attending the photoshoot.

Procurement: We will take care of procurement using our trusted suppliers. Over the years, we have built up strong relationships with a select group of highly skilled craftspeople who we know and trust, ensuring the design intent is met to the highest standards.
