Brief & Discovery
We walk the site, then ask the uncomfortable questions early. How do you actually use this space? What has annoyed you for years?

We design interiors and buildings that are quiet on the eye and generous to live in — drawn in detail, built with the same people who drew them.
We keep the studio small on purpose. The person who sketches your plan is the person who answers the phone from site at seven in the evening.
Three or four materials, used properly, read richer than twelve. It also makes a space easier to repair, easier to budget, and far less likely to date.

Four stages. No mystery, no surprise invoices — you always know what happens next and who is doing it.

Two or three distinct directions, each with a plan, a material board and an honest cost implication. Not the prettiest board — the right one.

Joinery sections, tile setting-out, switch heights, edge profiles. Every line a contractor could read two ways gets drawn one way.

Scheduled site visits, a written record of every field decision, and lighting tuned at night as well as by day before we hand over.
A finished room is easy to photograph. What it is like to live in, and what the build was like, is better heard from the people who paid for it.
Different budgets, different cities, the same short material list and the same refusal to decorate a plan that has not been solved.






Offered separately or as one contract. Most clients start with the drawings and ask us to stay on through the build.

Ambient, task and accent are not a lighting-shop upsell. Remove one and the room stops working after dark.

Porosity, honing and sealant schedule decide whether a counter looks better in five years or ruined in one.

Removing every wall does not create space. It creates one loud room with nowhere to put anything.
