Architectural Plan Review
After spending significant time and money having architectural plans drawn up, the temptation for many is to progress to construction as quickly as possible. But sadly, this can often lead to a list of costly variations as changes are made on the fly, or disappointment upon completion when people realise that their dream sofa won't fit or that they can't have the curtains they wanted because allowances were not made for the tracks during construction.
Before conducting an architectural plan review, we take the time to understand who you are, how you want to live and the things that are important to you. We then apply this insight to your plans, highlighting areas of concern and marking up changes to improve traffic flow, liveability and aesthetics.
Taking this information back to your architect or draftsperson for further exploration during planning will ensure you achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.
DESIGN PHASE
Custom Cabinetry
From considered kitchens and bespoke vanities to window seats with hidden storage and hard-working mud rooms, custom cabinetry dramatically elevates the aesthetics and functionality of your home.
Following an evaluation of your space and a conversation designed to tease out your specific requirements, we will present you with a set of concept drawings and a quote from one of our cabinetmakers, who will work with you to bring our vision to life.
Flooring & Rugs
From timber floorboards to vinyl, carpet to tiles, your choice of flooring sets the foundation for the look and feel of your entire home.
Rug placement and design should also be considered early to define spaces, add colour or texture and enhance comfort and liveability, rather than added later as an after thought.
When you are looking at rugs, we always advise you go bigger rather than smaller, to open up your space.
Paint Colours
When selecting paint colours, consideration must be given to the architectural style of your home, its surroundings, aspect and natural light, existing materials and finishes, and the overall look and feel you are hoping to create.
Whether you are looking for “the perfect white” or a special hue to colour drench a room, we make the process of colour selection feel effortless. And fun, according to many of our clients.
Materials & Finishes
Renovating a kitchen, bathroom, ensuite or laundry involves seemingly endless decisions about cabinetry, benchtops, walls, flooring, colours, materials, finishes and profiles.
We consider the durability, serviceability and aesthetics of every material on its own merits, and in conjunction with everything else, to ensure your home flows and each finished space performs as well as it looks for many years to come.
DECORATION PHASE
Window Treatments
Window treatments are used to control light, provide privacy and improve insulation and acoustics. We can also design them to correct the proportions of a room, draw the eye with a feature fabric or to add subtle softness and texture to a space.
From roller blinds to romans, S-fold sheers to box pleat curtains on decorative rods, we know exactly what your space needs to look and perform at its best.
Furniture & Reupholstery
We love being asked to incorporate an antique piece into a new home or to find the perfect fabric to breathe new life into a treasured family heirloom.
By thoughtfully combining high-end and contemporary pieces, vintage finds and your own treasured possessions, we will help you to create a beautiful, timeless home to enjoy with family and friends for generations to come.
Cushions & Lampshades
We have a team of highly skilled makers who are passionate about turning beautiful fabrics into bespoke bedheads, valances, cushions and lampshades.
Never under estimate the power of adding a strategic splash of colour, pattern or texture to your room. Combined with thoughtful detailing, bespoke soft furnishings will take your home to the next level.
Artwork, Mirrors & Accessories
We will hunt, gather, design and craft pieces from the best suppliers, makers, and craftspeople for your home.
And if the perfect piece cannot be found, we will turn to one of our talented artists or makers and have something special commissioned just for you.
