By sharing our process now, we'll eliminate any hurdles to working together so you can confidently entrust us with your most valued asset.
During this initial phase we'll identify your needs, preferences and specific space requirements and uses through in-depth discovery exercises and a detailed questionnaire. We'll also establish the cost and scheduling elements of the project and develop a complete set of drawings to document existing conditions and propose preliminary floorplans and layouts.
We generate ideas, material selections and all interior specifications and assemble them into a comprehensive presentation comprised of sketches, images, color and finish palettes and preliminary furniture, fitting and lighting selections with their associated investment allocations. Once approved by the client, we move forward into our synthesis stage.
We refine all interior details and develop the production documents required for implementation including technical drawings and proposals for orders. We also administer the entire construction bidding process on behalf of the client, advise them on the best apparent offer and assemble all of the necessary team members for implementation.
Upon receipt of payment for items, we place and manage orders and direct them to a local warehouse for the duration of construction. We remain the sole point of contact for the client through construction completion, liaising with contractors on site and with fabricators for custom elements to ensure adherence to design intent.
We coordinate and manage delivery and placement of all furnishings down to the very last detail, including hanging of artwork, styling of decorative accents, storage of dishware and even dressing of beds, should you desire, so you walk into a fully-realized, turnkey home.
We helm full oversight of our bespoke designs through our in-house project management services to ensure nothing is left to chance, to verify adherence to design intent, to protect our clients' investment and to champion our vision amongst our diverse team of fabricators. The result is the synergistic alchemy of our imagination and the expertise of our trusted contractors and artisans to deliver unparalleled homes.
