Phase 1: Spatial Exploration.

Setting the Foundation

This first phase is all about understanding how your space works and identifying the best layout options for your needs and lifestyle. It includes

- An initial design meeting (on-site or virtual) to discuss your goals, wish list, style preferences, and how you use your space.

- Measuring and documentation of the existing space, if not already provided.

- Development of floor plan options that explore various furniture arrangements, layout improvements, and spatial flow.

- Presentation of preliminary layout options for feedback and discussion before moving forward.

Goal: Confirm the layout so we have a clear plan before we move into the look, feel, and sourcing.

Phase 2: Concept.

Bring the Vision to Life

Once we know how the space will function, this phase is about defining what it will look and feel like. It includes:

- Creation of a design concept that captures the mood and character of the space.

- Mood boards and concept images (Pinterest boards, material swatches, colour schemes, etc.) to align on a cohesive aesthetic direction.

- A site visit with contractor(s) to walk through the space and begin pricing out the work.

- A preliminary budget to help you understand the potential investment and scope of work.

Goal: Align on a clear vision and budget for the project before diving into specific product selections and construction details.

Phase 3: Design Development & Procurement Preparation.

Making it Real

This is where we take the approved concept and translate it into actionable plans. It includes:

- Development of construction drawings (e.g., electrical, millwork, and tile plans) for contractor use and permit submission, if needed.

- Product sourcing and specification of all finishes, fixtures, furniture, and accessories. This includes in-person or digital presentations for your review.

- Scheduling of trades/fabricators for custom items (like built-ins, upholstery, drapery, etc.).

- Procurement proposals that list the recommended items for purchase, including pricing, lead times, and delivery estimates.

- Management of ordering and tracking once proposals are approved and deposits received.

Goal: Finalize the design details and get everything lined up for ordering and execution.

Phase 4: Project Management & Final Execution.

Bringing it all Together.

This phase ensures your project is executed smoothly and beautifully. It includes:

- Ongoing site visits and coordination with your contractor to ensure design intent is followed during construction.

- Liaising with suppliers and trades to troubleshoot any issues and keep timelines on track.

- Managing deliveries and installations for furniture, fixtures, and accessories.

- Final styling of the space, including artwork, soft goods, and accessories to bring the whole look together.

- Punch list review to handle any final adjustments or outstanding items.

Goal: Deliver a finished space that feels thoughtful, cohesive, and completely tailored to you.
