The process / from idea to everyday
Good work
starts with a conversation.
A clear direction, a considered design and a practical path through the details.
From first thought to final detail
Four steps.
One clear direction.
01 /Listen
Every project starts with the room, the people who use it and the things it needs to do. A useful brief gives the work a clear direction.
02 /Design
Layouts, storage needs, materials and small details are considered together. The direction is agreed before moving into the build.
03 /Make
The design becomes a carefully coordinated piece of joinery, with clear communication around the details and the sequence of work.
04 /Settle in
The last stage is about making the space work as intended, with a considered handover and a clear explanation of the finished details.
The smallest details often make the biggest difference.Before we begin
A few useful
questions.
Where does a project begin?
With a brief: the type of space, what it needs to do, the style you are drawn to and your priorities.
Can a project work with an existing design?
The fictional studio model allows collaboration around an approved design, with responsibilities and the details agreed in advance.
When are budget and timing discussed?
During the initial brief. The scope, materials, responsibilities and programme would be clarified before work begins.
What should I include in an enquiry?
The kind of room or joinery you are considering, your priorities, any design direction and an indicative budget if you have one.
