INITIAL CONSULTATION
We begin each project with an in-person meeting and where possible, visit the property to get a feel for the space we’re working with. The foundation of the client relationship is irrevocably important and our aim is to always listen to the client’s brief in order to put together a detailed Strategic Definition briefing document taking into account your budget and time frame.
We like to learn about how you live, gain an understanding of your general likes and dislikes, discuss how you and your guests will use the space, plus gage how you might require the space to adapt with you in the future.
Our clients benefit not only from our creativity but from a team of dedicated professionals with a wealth of experience and an unsurpassed understanding of design.
