DESIGN

We hand sketch with pencil on paper, refer to imagery and discuss samples to convey a style, layout, idea or theme.

We’ve started running our hand sketches through Ai for fun as well… something good comes out of it every 100 tries but it’s still very much a random result and does not usually get the desired outcome we were hoping for.

Then we go to technical plans and elevations. Once they’re advanced, we start on 3D renderings.

We offer the complete turnkey service, all the way through to the installation and final completion of the project.

LONGEVITY

Regardless of how well an interior is conceived on paper; only a team of qualified artisans will guarantee that the design ages well after the ‘newly installed’ sheen starts to fade.

REALITY

An interior should still look well even when there is wear and tear. People want to be able to live in it and not worry too much about dents or scratches or ruffles… true quality will shine through all that, like an old Belstaff jacket.

NATURAL

A space that emphasises natural materials (woods, stones, metals, ceramics, glass, cottons, silks, wools, leathers) can feel stylish for many decades, even centuries. Synthetics, on the other hand, do not age well - neither in aesthetic or in condition.

MODIFIABLE

Electronics and temperature control systems that are integrated discreetly or out of sight, with adequate cabling, allow for future upgrades (when technologies inevitably change) that will be non-disruptive to the original aesthetic design.

ARTIFICIAL i

Ai will soon become useful for digital renderings but will need a human to steer the renderings in the right direction.

Ai cannot, however, replicate the uniquely human experience of occupying and living in interior spaces.

Another human-specific factor is that interior spaces should express an owner's individuality and emotional connection to their personal environment.

A mutual understanding of these human qualities remains essential to the client-designer relationship.
