Process

Designed with you, for you

Forget trends: We design with you, for you, ideating spaces that are as idiosyncratic as the humans they’re made for. This idiosyncrasy is iterated in our process: Call us unconventional, but we like to think our process should be as nuanced as our clients—because no two clients are the same.

So, this process is our starting line—not our finishing line.

Process

  • This is the foundation of your project: The phase we get clear on your project requirements, budget, schedule, wants and needs. We get to know your industry, competitors and clients, tour your space, and shadow how you use it, so we intimately understand what’s working—and what’s not.

  • Together, we fit the foundational pieces of the puzzle together, making manifest the first iteration of the design. We envision your space with visuals and collaborate with our consultants to plan the space, so we know the space will be as functional as it will be iconic.

  • When the vision is approved, we take the design from 2D plans to 3D renderings and elevations. We source fixtures, finishings and furniture and present samples of materials. With every presentation, we layer in more nuance, so you’re never overwhelmed by details (or decisions).

  • We put our heads down to prepare all documentation for pricing and construction, from floor plans, ceiling plans and elevations to specifications and schedules. We finalize every detail—be it millwork, material transitions, hardware placements or equipment clearances—to be build-ready.

  • We can tender your project for you (in fact, we recommend it), interviewing contractors, answering their questions, and getting the most competitive pricing possible for your build. With our network of contractors and tradespeople in Calgary, we know the who’s who (and who’s not) in the industry.

  • We oversee the build for you, visiting the site, documenting progress, managing change orders, and generally being available to your contractor so you don’t have to be. With us on side, we’ll ensure the integrity of your interior architecture, so your vision is made reality—without the stress.

  • No one likes moving. If you aren’t into delivering and installing furniture, artwork and accessories, we are. With an exacting eye (and a tape measure), we’ll ensure your space is move-in ready. No boxes to break down or price stickers to remove. Everything will be installed to our exacting standards.
