Our Process
Consultation
In this phase, we begin the design process by exploring our client's needs and desires for the space, or spaces, along with discovering their style and taste. We assess the layout and scale of the space and consider any architectural elements. We also discuss the project scope, budget and expected timeline. We take measurements for design, furniture placement, and window treatments. We use this time to develop a collaborative relationship with our clients. Once we refine their design goals, we continue to the "presentation" phase.
Presentation
In this phase, we present our clients with preliminary design ideas. These include architectural sketches, samples of paint colors, fabrics, finishes, photographs of furnishings, accessories, and ideas for window treatments. Once we sign off on all the selections, we transition into the "design" phase.
Design
In this phase, we proceed from the conceptual to the creation of specific construction documents. We develop space plans with clearances for furnishings and ADA where applicable, while adhering to governing codes where required. Here is where we refine our client's project carefully taking into consideration their health, safety, and welfare. Once this phase is complete, we are ready for the "procurement" phase.
Procurement
In this phase, we outsource for contractors and vendors. We manage the ordering and purchasing of the furnishings, art work, fabrics, and accessories. This is where all of the planning comes together to prepare for "implementation".
implementation
In this phase, we implement the full design process. We make sure the construction is complete and approved by all. We oversee and handle installation of the finishes, furniture, window treatments, artwork, and accessories. Once this phase is complete, we are ready for the big reveal.
the big reveal
