Having discussed your favourite ideas and understood your desired goals, we put all details on the drawing board and computer at the design studio. In the quietude of the studio, we will often develop alternatives to help you evaluate. Options we believe you should be aware of. You need to make the best decision for you. And we’re here to help.

Have you ever made a big purchase decision, only to get to the end wondering if you made the right choice? That’s because your advisor did not do a good job evaluating and communicating with you. Concept design is about you as much as it is about design discovery. When we’ve looked at all options then we can target the right design for you.

But we want to move fast. So, we communicate these ideas as quickly as possible. Using the appropriate tool for the job. Starting with the most simple. A pencil. The computer adds more accuracy. We start in Black & White because we don’t want you distracted by materials and colours yet. That comes later. First, we assemble your wish list of products and appliances and integrate them into the space. By evaluating graphically and orally for workflow, volume, spaces, access and general aesthetic, we identify your targets and stay on course. Often, we will revisit you, or meet you at a showroom, to refine a design detail and ensure we are on budget. Remember, spend your time well at this stage, to ensure you’re paid back in dividends with the end result.

See below for examples of Concept Design drawings that help get you on your desired road quickly and avoid unnecessary u-turns later.
