We price on the nature of the job. Every project has a different complexity and a different size, and different styles also change how we price it.
Once we have reviewed the plans, we put together a design estimate. It is broken into three stages, and each stage is estimated separately, so you know what is included.
This is where the house is decided. The interior architecture, the plan of each room, the kitchen and bathrooms, and the materials, all resolved and modelled in 3D so you can see the home before it is built.
The concept becomes a set of technical drawings a builder or contractor can quote on and build from. Plans, elevations, schedules and specifications. Everything on site is built from this.
Furniture, lighting, curtains and artwork, down to the bedding and the smallest objects, sourced from artisans and suppliers around the world, delivered, installed and styled before you move in. For some clients this is the whole commission.
An optional stage. We can oversee the build alongside your contractors, part time or full time, as you prefer: ordering, manufacturing, delivery and installation, quality control, on-site management and time management.
Size. Whether we are updating one room or creating something from nothing. Every job counts, whatever its size.
Complexity and style. Every project has a different complexity, and different styles change how we price it.
Which stages you commission. Decoration can follow a full design project or be commissioned on its own for a home that is already built.
When we are involved. Before construction starts, and ideally while the plans are still being drawn. Reading the architect’s plans early is where the expensive mistakes are avoided, saving you time, money and more money to spend on the things you really want and not fixing up the things that weren’t right.
There is a difference between expensive and costly. Expensive is the face value. Costly has a story behind it: the human hours, the rare materials, the expertise and the years spent honing a craft.
We never specify engineered stone or porcelain made to look like marble. From a distance it may look similar, but up close it is obvious straight away, and it pulls down the quality of the space. It works against everything else we do to elevate a room.
Materials are selected for both durability and aesthetics.
The design estimate is broken into three stages, and each stage is estimated separately. Documentation is the set of technical drawings a builder or contractor can quote on and build from.
We do not publish fees, because there is no way to quantify a project before we know it. Each one differs in nature, complexity, size and style.
We price on the nature of the job, in a design estimate broken into three stages, each estimated separately.
Yes. Whether we’re updating one room or creating something from nothing, we make sure our designs work functionally and aesthetically.
Yes. Decoration can be commissioned on its own for a home that is already built. For some clients this is the whole commission.
The plans. Once we have reviewed them, we put together the design estimate.
The design estimate is broken into three stages, and each stage is estimated separately. Documentation is the set of technical drawings a builder or contractor can quote on and build from.
Before construction starts, and ideally while the plans are still being drawn. A wall is cheaper to move on paper.
Yes. Hospitality, gyms, offices and retail, with the same approach as a home: concept, documentation, then fit-out and styling.
From a studio in St Kilda, across Melbourne and Victoria, and interstate where it is a good fit.
The first conversation is where all of this becomes specific.
