DESIGN THAT TELLS
YOUR 
story.

1
Phase  01

PROGRAMMING

We start by understanding your vision, brand, operational needs, budget and space. Through our project questionnaire, kickoff meetings and site analysis, we establish the foundation for every design decision that follows.

Our process includes sketches, adjacency matrices, zone requirements, block/bubble diagrams, rough space plans, and 3D blocking and light maps.

Phase  02

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

This is where the visual identity of the space begins to take shape. We explore materials, lighting, furniture, color, architectural details and overall atmosphere to establish a clear creative direction for the project.


We present developed concept directions and refine the selected direction through client feedback before moving into 3D design.

DESIGN DOCUMENTATION

Once the design is approved, we translate the concept into detailed interior design drawings and specifications for contractors, fabricators and project consultants. These drawings communicate the layout, finishes, lighting intent, millwork and design details required to accurately execute the space.
