Process

Designing a home is a collaborative journey - from understanding how you live to refining every detail.

Each stage is carefully structured to ensure design integrity, clarity, and a seamless experience from concept through to completion.

1. Planning

Understanding Your Vision

Every project begins with listening and discovery. In this stage, we learn about your goals, your space, and what inspires you.

What we do:

  • Measure and record existing site conditions

  • Capture reference photos

  • Discuss your needs, style, and ideas

  • Identify any layout or code restrictions

  • Define the project scope, timeline, and budget

Outcome:
A clear project brief that captures your vision and sets a strong foundation for design.

2. Schematics

Exploring Ideas and Flow

This phase turns your brief into design concepts - shaping how the space looks, feels, and functions.

What we do:

  • Develop spatial layouts that support the way you live

  • Define your style and aesthetic direction

  • Establish a materials palette

  • Create 3D visuals to bring ideas to life

Outcome:
A cohesive vision that balances function, flow, and aesthetic direction.

3. Development

Refining the Design

This phase transforms the approved concept into a fully resolved design where every detail works in harmony.

What we do:

  • Refine layouts for proportion, function, and flow

  • Develop bespoke joinery and detailing

  • Finalise finishes, fixtures, fittings, lighting, and materials

  • Coordinate with architects, engineers, and consultants

Outcome:
A fully resolved and coordinated design, ready for documentation and pricing.

4. Documentation

Translating Design into Detail

This stage captures every aspect of the approved design to ensure it’s built with clarity and precision.

What we do:

  • Prepare detailed plans, elevations, and joinery drawings

  • Provide schedules and specifications for all materials and finishes

  • Protect the design intent through accurate documentation

  • Coordinate with consultants and builders for full alignment

Outcome:
Comprehensive documentation that safeguards design integrity through construction.

5. Admin

Overseeing Execution

During construction, we ensure the design intent is realised through ongoing review, coordination, and collaboration.

What we do:

  • Conduct site inspections to review progress and finishes

  • Communicate with the builder to clarify design details

  • Refine or resolve site-based decisions while maintaining the vision

  • Review the final outcome to ensure quality and consistency

Outcome:
A cohesive, finely executed home that brings the design vision to life.
