OUR PROCESS
To create exceptional homes with real character, we look at both the bigger picture and the finer detail. We create more than interior design concepts, we design, craft, produce and install projects to a turn-key finish.
Our dedicated team, led by Creative Director Arlene McIntyre and powered by the experience of the luxury furniture and fitout team at Ventura Design, enjoy working on projects of interest, depth and charm. These are most likely complete renovations and new builds, where we are involved from the earliest phase.
Our extensive, 360-degree service includes detailed interior architecture and design, from space-planning to kitchen and bathroom specifying, to lighting, flooring, bespoke fixed and free-standing furniture, to smart home technology, and landscaping.
We work on private residential and commercial housing, as well as commercial hospitality and developer led interiors projects, all in our elegant, classic-contemporary design style.
OUR DESIGN AND COMPLETION PROCESS
BRIEF
As each project is unique, we first need to understand a client's requirements and aspirations. As part of the brief, we establish the use of the property, personal style and expectations. We can either visit your property or have an in-house meeting, ideally with your floor plans and photographs. We would need to understand your time scale, budget, structural changes and all other requirements during this meeting. Once we have gathered all of this information, we will start preparing our cost proposal with an estimated budget for design concepts, FF&E and all other fees involved.
CONCEPT
Once the scope of works and an outline budget are approved, we work closely with you to ensure your aspirations are reflected in our design. We will also prepare a full proposal for the project including floor plans, furniture layouts, interior mood boards, furniture suggestions, joinery concepts and details any structural changes to be made.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND WORKS
Once concepts and budget are agreed we move into detailed design work.
Working with our expert FF&E team, we prepare and present all final selections,
drawings and plans for everything included in your project and then present a final proposal and itemised breakdown of costs.
We also discuss the schedule of works including timelines on the production of goods and when the project will commence.
Depending on the scope of works involved, we may engage our Project Management Team along with any appointed builders or tradesmen.
Our team will inform you of the progress along the way. Before the final installation, we undertake a final walk through,
to snag the property for all design finishes before final hand-over.
Our team of highly experienced white-glove installers will fit and position every piece of furniture.
We handle all your deliveries, positioning, assembling, installation, hanging and removal of all boxes and packaging.
INTERIOR STYLING SERVICES
Clients can also avail of our luxury interior styling service. We offer this as an additional package, designed to help layer in those special final details in your home. We will create a full home-accessories proposal, where we would introduce a collection of individual pieces which may include artwork, some objects, throws, accessories and tableware to complete your home and make it uniquely yours.
