Process
We offer a full-service design experience, guiding each project from concept to completion with clarity, care and creative direction. Our process is designed to be seamless, considered and stress-free.
1. Initial Briefing
Every project begins with a conversation - our place or yours. We work closely with private and commercial clients to establish a clear understanding of the project’s intent — aligning vision, scope, budget and timeline. Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner or developer, this stage is a deep dive into your needs, aspirations, and how the space should function. We also consider key collaborators such as architects and builders to ensure everyone is aligned from the outset. This clarity at the beginning allows us to shape a tailored, design-led response with purpose.
2. Concept Design
With a clear brief in place, we begin developing the creative direction for your project. This is the most exploratory and expressive stage of the process — where ideas are researched, tested, and refined in-house to uncover the most compelling design response. We present mood boards that illustrate our creative thinking and design intent, including spatial planning, materiality, finishes, and the overall direction for the interior. It’s a collaborative moment, where your feedback helps shape and define the path forward.
3. Design Development
This is the stage where the design begins to come to life. Building on the approved concept, we translate the vision into a fully resolved interior scheme. Sophisticated 3D digital models, floor plans and elevations are developed to illustrate the spatial layout, joinery and key interior elements.
We present a comprehensive interior direction — including finishes, fixtures, fittings and material selections — to help you see, feel and understand how the design will come together. This presentation includes everything needed to experience the proposed interior with clarity and confidence
4. Design Development
Once the design has been approved, we prepare a comprehensive set of documentation for construction. This includes detailed drawings, elevations and specifications that communicate every element of the interior — from custom joinery to fixtures, fittings, lighting and finishes.
These documents are designed to guide the project team through the build phase and can be integrated into architectural drawing packages or used independently. We also provide a live, cloud-based schedule of finishes, fixtures, furniture and equipment — updated in real time and accessible to clients 24/7 for full visibility and ease of coordination.
5. Tender & Procurement
With documentation complete, we guide the next stage of the project — assisting with builder selection, procurement, and any necessary regulatory submissions. We help compile a shortlist of preferred builders and trades, coordinate the quoting process, and offer recommendations based on quality, alignment and scope.
Where applicable, we handle the procurement of selected items on the client’s behalf — ensuring consistency with the design intent and simplifying coordination during the build.
This stage also involves coordinating our design documentation with drawings or packages developed by project collaborators — such as architects, landscape designers or other consultants — ensuring consistency across all disciplines.
6. Project Oversight
Throughout the construction phase, we remain closely involved to ensure the design is executed with care and precision. We provide site support to the builder and trades, attending site visits, responding to queries, and addressing any design-related issues as they arise. We also track the complex logistics of the project procurement ensuring fixtures, fittings and furniture are put into production and delivered. Our role during this stage is to protect the integrity of the design, support quality control, and help deliver a considered, cohesive result.
7. Decoration
The final phase involves the interior decoration and styling of the project — focusing on the selection and placement of furniture, artwork and accessories. This is a comprehensive layer of work that ensures continuity across the interiors and elevates the final result.
We consider proportion, materiality and mood to curate pieces that enhance the overall design, bringing a sense of completeness and character to each space.
