Space planning

with site photos and measurements, we can start your space planning right away.  Usually 2~3 floor plans with furniture layout options would be given per area.  And from there, if no further adjustments is needed, the most desirable layout option will be used as a blueprint to build 3D.

 

Style exploration

most of our clients already have a few inspirational images in hand, but it is ok if you havnen't started your stylecollect any yet.  We will brainstorm with you to develop the right style and look for you, whether it is traditional, modern, transitional, ultra contemporary, or your own signature style, such as "Chic Zen", "Glam Industrial", "Minimalistic Mediterranean", "Modern Rustic" or others which is taking inspiration from two of your favorite interior styles.

Daylight introduction

daylight is closely tied to our circadian rhythm which helps us safeguard our sleep and wake cycle.  Depending on how each room faces the sun, daylight may be harvested or extended into each space to enhance health and well being.  Where daylight is not readily accessible, we can discuss the introduction and placement of Solartubes or other product which would work best for what you wish to achieve

Q&A3.

When space planning, we prioritize using existing interior footprint to create comfortable and functional space through clever space planning techniques instead of demolishing existing walls or build additional units to minimize material waste, which also translates to time and cost savings.

 

 

For the same reason, upon your approval, we would prioritize your current furniture over new ones if they can be given a new purpose or a new face lift. Where new furniture is needed, we would recommend versatile, durable items with high recycled and recyclable contents.

 

 

When choose lighting fixtures and equipment, Energy Star and Water Sense fixturesis often are the basic requirements we build up from.  For other product specifications we might use, please also see our "Tips" page.
