A Timeless Approach to Interior Design

Concept

The initial phase of the project is about gathering information from you, the client in order to finalise the brief. We take time to learn about your home and how you live which paves the way for an organised, efficient and budget conscious project from the start.

The project begins with in-depth site visits, photographic surveys and detailed drawings. Building design and architectural details are refined as far as possible in advance to allow for any planning requirements and to round out the contractor scope and budget.

We are attentive to every requirement and wish of the client, carefully documenting existing art or antiques and combining all this information into the design concept that we present. At this point we assemble our team- Architect, Contractor and specialist consultants including a QS or Project Manager, all of whom will be the most appropriate people for the particular project. 

Building and Design Detail

Once the final concepts are approved and the core team in place, budgets are established and once approved we move to the design detail phase. Specifications of architectural components, lighting and joinery are all carefully planned through regular meetings with client and contractors on site. Floor finishes, stone and other materials are carefully sourced as far ahead as possible in order to prevent lead time delays. Where appropriate this stage is concurrent to planning and approvals stages and where possible works that do not require approval are carried out first, all to aid efficient and avoid loss of time and momentum

Regular site visits are carried out with the contractor and client to monitor progress and address solutions and queries in an efficient and expedient manner.

Procurement and FF&E

Whilst the project is taking shape, we concurrently develop the FF&E design concepts. Designs are drawn, schemes are presented and design details discussed with the client at every stage. Detailed estimates are produced which, once approved, will pave the way for us to begin our almost daily coordination with the many trade and craftspeople who produce furniture, fixtures and furnishings. We will always work to timely and on budget delivery and installation. As members of the SBID and with many years’ experience, we have some wonderful relationships with our suppliers. This procurement stage can also involve any overseas shipping or liaison with any other properties or household staff.

Installation / Styling

Installation on site is engaged immediately after contractor completion and meticulously coordinated to avoid unnecessary loss of time and earliest occupancy. 

We endeavour to make the design journey a happy one, filled with exciting decisions and acquisitions and the joy of watching the entire project from idea to creation. Please get in touch to see how we can help.
