Planning Before Renovation

The most important phase of any interior architecture project happens long before the first wall is demolished. It happens in the quiet conversations about how you actually live.

We often ask clients to forget about aesthetics for a moment. We don't want to know if they prefer minimalist or traditional spaces just yet. Instead, we ask: How do you make your coffee in the morning? Do you prefer reading in the sun or in a cozy, shadowed corner? Where do your guests gather when you host?

Defining the Rhythm of the Home

A beautifully designed home must first be a "functional" one. If the flow of a kitchen fights the way you cook, no amount of expensive marble will make it feel luxurious.

During the planning phase, we map out the rhythm of the daily routine. We consider sightlines from the entryway, the sequence of moving from the bedroom to the bathroom, and the way natural light moves through the house throughout the day.
