Our Process
We approach each project with a unique perspective, listening and giving careful consideration to the context of the brief and working closely with our clients. Beginning with the initial discussions and concept development for the project, it is imperative that we form strong relationships with our clients, allowing them to trust the process and enjoy seeing their project come to life.
The design studio collaborates with some of the nation’s leading furniture and cabinet makers, painters, flooring specialists, architects, landscape architects, builders, artisans and other professionals to deliver exceptional results on a vast array of design projects.
Our projects are broken up into four distinct phases
PHASE ONE
Conceptual phase
The initial consultation where we meet with you to outline the brief, scope of works and budget. We establish how you like to live, your aesthetic and who will be using the spaces.
PHASE TWO
Design & Research Phase
During this phase you can expect to see an initial design scheme for the project. Typically presented are initial spatial planning approaches, materials, furniture and lighting concepts. From the feedback from this meeting we begin to design and specify in more detail and a design scheme is produced with detailed drawings of all spaces, I.E. kitchens, bathrooms, all joinery, furniture, soft furnishings and lighting, schedules and estimates.
PHASE THREE
Implementation Phase
Once the project specifications and quotes have been approved and signed off, we produce the documentation for tender. We assist you in making your decision when selecting a builder. We liaise with architects, landscape architects, builders, and other trades throughout the construction phase. We have regular site meetings to monitor the progress of the build.
We consolidate all furniture and soft furnishing selections and ensure the orders are placed with suppliers. We coordinate and manage all FF&E orders.
PHASE FOUR
Installation Phase
When the building works have been completed it is time to install the furniture and soft furnishings, and see the project come to life. We manage and coordinate the delivery, quality control, and installation of all the procured items, including artwork and objects for styling.
“We are passionate about seeing things come together from concept to creation,” says Marylou, who has more than 30 years of design experience “And we’re passionate about seeing people happy and exceeding their expectations at the end of the process.”
