HOW WE WORKA SHARED JOURNEY

From a thought.
To a place.

A considered process gives a good idea room to grow.
Here is how a project takes shape.

THE PROCESS IS AS PERSONAL AS THE RESULT.

01

LISTEN

First, your world.

We begin with the people, the site and the possibilities. What do you need today? What might your home need to become?

THE FOCUS / Your brief, plot & priorities
02

EXPLORE

Find the idea.

Layouts, massing and early material ideas give your brief a form. We explore the relationship between rooms, daylight and outdoor space.

THE FOCUS / Concept layouts & design direction
03

REFINE

Make it yours.

The chosen direction develops through conversation. Elevations, interiors and materials become more precise as the whole design comes together.

THE FOCUS / Developed design & agreed details
04

COORDINATE

Resolve the details.

Plans, sections, systems and interior details are organised into the technical drawing set agreed for your project.

THE FOCUS / Coordinated working drawings
05

HAND OVER

Ready for the next chapter.

We bring the project information together and review the agreed deliverables. Construction-stage involvement is discussed as part of your project scope.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

A little
clarity.

What should I bring to the first conversation?+

Your plot size and location, a sense of the spaces you need, any available site information, and a few references you like. It is fine if your ideas are still taking shape.

Can I start with only an elevation or interior?+

You can describe the specific part of your project in the enquiry form. The appropriate design scope can then be discussed with the studio.

How are fees and timelines agreed?+

They depend on the project size, complexity and deliverables. A proposal should set out the scope, stages, fees and programme before work begins.

Are the drawings on this website ready to build from?+

No. The current catalogue contains illustrative sample diagrams. Real construction drawings need to be prepared, coordinated and checked for the specific site and project.
