Process

Seven stages, in the same order, every time.

The sequence below is not a marketing device — it is the order in which the information becomes available. Skipping a stage does not save time; it moves the cost to the end of the project, where it is most expensive.

Brief

Objectives, lifestyle, scope and budget agreed before a single line is drawn.

Objectives set against the architecture, the environment and how you actually live
Scope agreed room by room, with a budget that survives contact with reality
A written programme, so nobody discovers a misunderstanding in month four

You receive

A scope and budget agreement, and a room-by-room programme.

Survey

Existing conditions measured and photographed; architectural constraints logged.

Measured survey of existing conditions — the numbers everything downstream depends on
Photography of the space as found, including the parts nobody photographs
Daylight and orientation study: where light lands, and which corner never gets any

You receive

A measured survey, existing-conditions photography and a daylight study.

Covered outdoor room with sheer drapery, pale sectional seating and timber posts — Survey — reading a space as found, before anything is proposed

Concept

Direction set through palette, material and reference — the argument for the scheme.

A direction argued through palette, material and reference rather than adjectives
Physical samples: textiles, stone, timber, metal — seen in your light, not a showroom's
The rationale written down, so a decision made in week two can be defended in week twenty

You receive

Concept boards, a material and finish palette, and a sample set.

Concept board pairing sofa, artwork, lighting and textile references — Concept — the argument for the scheme, in one page

Space Planning

Circulation, zoning and furniture layouts resolved against the architecture.

Circulation and zoning resolved against the architecture, not against a mood board
Furniture layouts drawn to scale, with clearances checked rather than assumed
Elevations where the vertical dimension is doing work — joinery, hearths, art walls

You receive

Furniture floor plans, circulation studies and elevations.

Specification

Every piece scheduled: dimension, finish, textile, lead time, price.

Every piece scheduled: dimension, finish, textile grade, lead time and price
Performance criteria set where life demands them — children, dogs, sun, salt air
An access survey, because a sofa that will not go up the stair is not specified

You receive

A full FF&E schedule, sample set, lead-time programme and pricing pack.

Primary bedroom specification board with bed, lighting, mirror and bedding — Specification — a room fixed as a whole, not as a list

Visualisation

Photoreal renderings so the client approves the room, not a mood.

Photoreal renderings of the principal rooms, produced before anything is ordered
Alternatives tested in the model, where moving a sofa costs nothing
Sign-off on the actual room rather than an impression of it

You receive

Rendered views of each principal room, revised until approved.

Rendered open-plan living and kitchen with pendant lighting and layered seating — Visualisation — approving the room, not the mood

Installation

Delivery sequenced, site supervised, rooms styled and photographed.

Delivery consolidated and sequenced, largest pieces first, floors protected throughout
Site supervised on the day — someone answerable present while it happens
Rooms styled and photographed on completion, then handed over with the documentation

You receive

A delivery programme, supervised installation, final styling and a handover pack.

Completed great room with timber slat screen, white sectional and linear fireplace — Installation — the only phase the client experiences directly
