Our Process
Our full-service architectural and interior design process is a considered, end-to-end approach designed to remove complexity, protect your investment, and deliver exceptional outcomes.
PROJECT STAGES
INTRODUCTORY DESIGN CALL After completing our Project Enquiry Form, you’ll be invited to an introductory design call with Natalie. This conversation allows us to understand your lifestyle, goals, aesthetic direction, site conditions, timeline, and budget expectations. You’ll then complete a detailed design brief to ensure clarity from the outset. If there is strong alignment between us, we proceed to a tailored Design Proposal.
DESIGN PROPOSAL Following our consultation and after receiving the design brief, we prepare a comprehensive, customised Design Proposal. This outlines the full scope of works and design stages required to take your project from concept through to construction, associated fees, timelines, and contractual terms, ensuring absolute transparency before we commence.
SITE ANALYSIS & APPROVAL STRATEGY We design with approval in mind from day one. Before any concepts are developed, we review site conditions, existing documentation, and relevant planning, zoning, and environmental controls. This early analysis confirms approval pathways and reduces risk, delays, and redesign later in the process.
CONCEPT DESIGN This is where the vision takes shape. We coordinate site surveys and develop the foundational ideas for your home, exploring spatial layouts, x3 floor plans, architectural form, materiality, and overall aesthetic direction. The concept design sets the creative and functional framework for the entire project.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Your concept is refined into a resolved design. We develop a detailed 3D digital model; carefully refining proportions, aesthetics, architectural elements, and spatial relationships. At this stage, architecture, interiors, and functionality are aligned to ensure the design works beautifully as a whole.
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION Precision is everything. We produce a comprehensive set of detailed drawings and documentation that translate the design intent into a build-ready format. These documents guide engineers, builders, and trades, ensuring the project is priced accurately and constructed exactly as designed
CABINETRY & JOINERY DESIGN Our joinery design is treated as architecture. Every element is meticulously designed; from layouts and storage optimisation to material selection, moisture resistance, plumbing coordination, and hardware detailing. This ensures both beauty and long-term performance.
DOCUMENTATION & FF&E FINALISATION All design decisions are locked in. We consolidate and refine all FF&E, joinery, and construction details into one cohesive, fully coordinated, build-ready design package.
FURNISHING DESIGN & SELECTIONS A home is not complete without considered furnishings. Integrated into our 3D model, we curate furniture, lighting, accessories, and artwork to complement the interior architecture; delivering a cohesive, layered, and highly resolved final outcome.
TENDER & CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT We remain closely involved as your project moves into build. Our team assists during tendering, builder coordination, and construction, ensuring design intent is protected and questions are resolved efficiently as they arise.
FURNITURE, FURNISHING & PROCUREMENT Our clients benefit from complete transparency. We work directly with trusted suppliers and artisans, sharing trade pricing and coordinating procurement while authorising payments directly between you and the supplier, ensuring clarity, confidence, and control throughout the process.
