Stage 1
Programming
The Programming Phase is like a first date, but without the butterflies. This is where we get to know you and your desires — for your new space, that is. We’ll ask you a number of relevant questions, inventory your existing furnishings, photograph your space, and discuss your project budget and timeline. If needed, we will meet with your architect, and any other consultants involved, before beginning the next phase – Design Development.
Stage 2
Design Development
We develop new space plans, furniture plans, and color palettes, as well as select your new interior finishes such as paint, wallcovering, flooring, ceiling and window treatments, moldings, cabinetry and countertops. This is also the phase when any custom-designed pieces or treatments would be sketched for your review. After we finish sourcing your job we meet with you to review the plans and finish selections and make any refinements needed. Then we finalize your design drawings and meet with you once more before starting the final detailing of your plans and ordering your furnishings, fixtures and equipment.
Stage 3
Construction & Installation
We’re engaged and we’re starting to build something new together. Designers (most) live for the Construction Phase. We get to see our ideas come to life. We stop by the job site frequently to oversee the sub-contractors and ensure work is progressing on schedule and as planned. Following construction, we coordinate the delivery and installation of your new furnishings, accessories and artwork. We also discuss the care and maintenance of all your new finishes, furnishings and equipment so you can enjoy them for many years and maintain their new appearance.
