Design Process

Foundation To Reality

Design Concept + Development

Design That Begins With Understanding

We believe difference in design lies not only in the details of a space, but also in the process itself —from start to finish.  While traditional interior design process can seem overwhelming with its multiple phases, we simplify it, making it a straight forward and achievable journey for our Clients.

The Three-Phase Process

Foundation

Feasibility Study
+ Programming

Design is not just about the look of a space, but how it enhances the everyday experiences of you, your team, and your clients. Our process begins with thoughtful discussion and discovery, helping us understand the heart of your company—your values, vision, and identity. From there, we craft a space that tells your story and reflects your brand. Equally important is creating an environment that truly impacts its users. We gather insights into your needs, wishes, the current functionality, and atmosphere, along with the preferences of those who use the space, to ensure we deliver a design that makes a meaningful difference.

Schematic Design
+ Design Development

In this phase we take your initial ideas and bring them to life, shaping a vision that reflects your company and reinforces your brand.  We begin by exploring various design possibilities, creating initial layouts and concepts that capture the essence of your project. Once we’ve established the direction, we refine and develop the design, carefully selecting materials, finalizing space planning, and addressing technical details. This process ensures that every aspect of the design is thoughtfully considered, aligning your goals to create a cohesive and functional plan, ready for the next phase of execution.

Vision

Contract Documents
and Contract Administration

In this final phase, we translate the design into a comprehensive set of technical drawings and specifications that provide clear instructions for the contractor. These documents outline everything from plans, material and product specifications to construction details ensure that every aspect of the design is executed as planned. We can also help you manage the contract and bidding process, helping you select the right team based on fit, budget, and timeline. By overseeing this phase, we streamline the process, saving you time and money while ensuring the outcome meets the highest standards.  But our role doesn’t end there—we oversee the construction process to ensure the design vision is brought to life seamlessly. We collaborate with contractors, answer questions, review progress, and address any issues that arise. By managing this phase, we help keep the project on track, ensuring quality, adherence to design intent, and a smooth path to completion.
