design process

Guided by material and Intuition

Philosophy

Crafting homes on an intuitive process tailored to each client. Every project responds to both the space and the life that will happen in it, shaping environments that feel natural and personal.

By understanding elements like light, volume, height and orientation, I define a clear flow for each space. With a curated selection of pieces and tailored items, the rooms come together in a way that guides how they are lived in, exploring their full potential while respecting their character.

Collaboration is essential to my work. I involve everyone part of the process from concept to execution, so that different ideas and sensitivities can shape the final design.

The Process

Over the years since founding my studio I developed a 6 Step process that helps create each design project with care and detail while setting a pace that keep the process efficient and professional to have full control on decision and investment.

  1. Conversation

Getting to know each other, while sharing how the new home or space will become part of this new life chapter for you. An open chat to share thoughts, ideas and opinions on the potential of each room and what can develop from it.

  1. proposal

Drafting a layout adjusted to the orientation of the unit and the functionality of each room, we start by creating a design concept taking care of the flow, materials, textures and how the light will shape it all together. The first proposal is our base to work on.

  1. collaboration

With open access to my archive of trusted suppliers and artisans, we collaborate with you to support adjusting the design so that your home truly fits you.
Within a bespoken timeline, the design will be ready to become alive.

  1. Tailoring and tenders

Once the design is approved, before sharing it with the contractors, carpenters and artisans we work on the specifications for tailored items, built-ins and renovation materials. With that design dossier, we will derive it to each specialist so that we can get a tender for each task and creation.

  1. coordination and execution

The project is then in a phase where each specialist takes care of their mastered field. Our position will be on the same line as theirs so that we can have a clear overview of the development of the execution of the design. Granting a flawless communication between you, me and them.

  1. New chapter

The most exciting part of the project is seeing it become real and awake from the drafts and concepts. A new chapter is opening now with the space we created together so that you can live it with your loved ones. It's a pleasure to be part of this.
