1. Initial Consultation and Expectations
Acknowledge your present challenges, wants and needs.
Let’s talk about your needs and expectations. There’s no charge for this introductory meeting. We can have an in-person or virtual meeting. We want to learn about you and what’s behind your decision to start the design process.
We will discuss about your expectations, timeline and budget.
2. Site Survey
Assess the site to establish existing conditions, areas of concern, challenges and opportunities.
Reviewing the site conditions, if present, will ensure that site specific details will be accounted for in the final design. This is the time to capture information, acknowledge limitations and assess the possibilities for your space.
3. Envisioning the Concept
Discuss your vision for the space.
It’s time to bring out the magazines, dream file folder or Pinterest boards to help us identify your overall style preference and transform your space.
4. Plan Every Detail
Simplify and document all design and product choices for a stress-free execution.
We’ll guide you through over 1,500 decisions, covering every facet of your design project and succinctly assembling this information for the construction team.
Decisions can include:
• Plumbing & Appliance Selections
• Millwork
• Product Selections
The finishing binder and working drawings are key to preparing an accurate budget and ensuring the stress-free execution of your project.
5. Execution
Ensure accuracy, overcome obstacles and address site challenges as they arise.
Our job doesn’t end once the design and planning are completed. We remain an active participant in the construction phase to ensure your design ideas come to life.
Learn more about how we can help your execute your project with our project management or project administration services.
6. Furniture and Furnishings
Furnish and source finishing touches for your space to make it uniquely yours.
We can complete your space to reflect your brand or lifestyle and enhance your occupant experience. After studying your tastes, preferences and overall style, we present an overall concept for your furniture and furnishings, including sketches, fabrics and colour board.
7. Celebrate

OUR TOOLS
REVIT
We utilize the latest technology for design – Autodesk Revit and BIM.
HAND SKETCHES
A hand sketch is an excellent way to quickly convey the feeling of a space. Sketching allows the concepts to be portrayed in an organic manner.
SAMPLE LIBRARY
The 20,000+ samples in our extensive finishes library lets you see the variety of products available in the current marketplace, gain an understanding of selection and range of price points, and complete all your design decisions from a single location.
We work with multiple suppliers to make sure you have the maximum number of options at your fingertips. If we do not have a sample that will meet your needs we can call upon many suppliers to locate samples.
Out of the thousands of possibilities, we carefully curate a selection of finishes we think you will love. We refine those selections based on your feedback until we have assembled the perfect materials and finishes for your space.
