Services PROGRAMMING
The interior design process begins with programming. The designer receives a client brief outlining needs, preferences, and goals. Research follows, focusing on lifestyle, constraints, and site conditions. The designer analyses the space’s potential and creates a balanced solution. Programming typically takes a few weeks before moving to design concepts. SCHEMATIC DESIGN Schematic design involves creating initial concepts through sketches, exploring layout options, and visualising the overall space. Designers develop design narratives, crafting a cohesive story that reflects the client’s vision, style, and functional needs. This phase focuses on concept development, refining ideas, and setting the tone for the final design direction. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Design development focuses on refining concepts based on user feedback and engagement. Designers finalise layouts, select materials, and incorporate technical details. This phase solidifies the vision, ensuring the design meets functional needs and aesthetic goals. Collaboration with clients ensures alignment, while adjustments are made for a cohesive, fully- realised design. CLIENT APPROVAL Client approval involves presenting finalised design drawings and sample boards, showcasing materials, finishes, and color palettes. Designers seek client feedback, making adjustments as needed to ensure satisfaction. Once the client approves the design, it moves forward into implementation, ensuring alignment with their vision, style, and functional requirements. EXECUTION Execution involves overseeing construction and on-site work, ensuring the design is implemented as planned. Designers coordinate with contractors, manage timelines, and address any on-site queries or challenges. They ensure quality control, compliance with specifications, and resolve issues promptly, maintaining communication with clients for smooth progress toward the final design. POST OCCUPANCY EVALUATION Interior design creates functional, aesthetic spaces, while post-occupancy evaluation (POE) assesses how well these spaces meet user needs. POE provides valuable feedback, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. Lessons learned emphasise user-centered design, flexibility, and adaptability, helping refine future projects for enhanced comfort, usability, and satisfaction.
