Design Process
A transparent interior design journey from brief and site study through concept, design development, specialist coordination, and handover.
Direct answer
A project begins by making the information clear, then deciding the layout, atmosphere, materials and details. Each stage has an approval point so the design does not move ahead of the facts.
1. Project fit
Share the building type, location, area, users, target budget, timing and what needs to change. This frames the likely scope and the professional roles that may need to participate.
2. Brief and site context
Gather existing plans, photos, measurements, building rules, current systems, solar orientation, routines and items to retain. Open information is recorded as open rather than guessed.
3. Concept direction
Test the main layout, spatial sequence, material direction, light and atmosphere. Select between options that affect both budget and later detail.
4. Design development
Develop the layout, furniture, built-ins, materials, colour, lighting and agreed visualisations. Record what is approved and what still requires checking.
5. Coordination information
Prepare drawings or schedules within the agreed package. Structure, building systems, fire safety, permits and professional sign-off remain with the responsible specialists and authorities.
6. Review and handover
Before information is passed on, review design alignment, decisions and open issues. Site inspection, supervision or construction management applies only when explicitly included in the confirmed scope.
Changes during design
A change in users, functions, budget, timing or major systems may affect the design and fee. The change and its consequences should be recorded before development continues.
