CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT / MOODBOARDS

Each project starts off with a thorough brainstorming and development of a main concept line that is then taken as the base for all of the technical and visual solutions proposed. Such conceptual elaboration is rooted in the Client, his lifestyle and character, the "dream" for this particular space and the solutions the space has to provide to him.

Through experience we found that the most effective form of conceptual work is the creation of visual mood boards and sketches that, combined together, represent the wording of the essence of each project and the line for it's architectural and design form from this initial point towards the very end.

SPACIAL DESIGN AND 3D MODELLING

Following the main concept, we proceed with the initial spacial planning (general layouts, ergonomics and flows of the space), the general drawings (perspectives/elevations) in hand-drawn or render formats, as well as creating a 3D model that would help visualise the proposed architectural solutions. At this stage the technical detailing is minimal as the focus resides on the form and feel.

TECHNICAL DRAWINGS AND FLOORPLANS

Once the initial set of sketches is discussed and approved - a full package of technical drawings, floor plans and technical detailing is elaborated and handed over to the appointed contractor and any other suppliers/manufacturers involved in creating feature pieces or specialised solutions.

SOURCING AND SAMPLEBOARDS

Drawings are supported by the sourcing of the materials and design pieces that we propose by putting together a comprehensive pack of sample boards for the Client to experience the textures, shapes, colours and feel of the products that would translate the concept of the project into a physical space.

PROJECT LEGAL AND FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION

In parallel with the design work, each project normally requires a service of legal and financial administration - submitting planning applications, elaboration of schedules of works and budgets, subcontracting agreements, supplier/client invoicing, etc.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Once the work on site is launched, the appointed Studio manager holds the responsibility to overview its progress on a daily basis, coordinate the suppliers' deliveries with the contractor's schedule of works and resolve any arising questions, while maintaining a periodic feedback/report communication with the Client.
