Almost a decade designing homes for families has taught us that the key to creating a home that truly satisfies your needs — without the process becoming overwhelming or spiralling out of control — begins with a solid brief: a brief that is built around your core values.
Clear values drive good decision making and impact every aspect of your project. No matter the type, size or budget, every project can benefit from direction and accountability.
Unpack your values, in Part One of our Build Your Brief series.
Setting values gives your project a starting point. From there you can clarify your mission and bring on team members. Our Pre-Design Package includes the entire Build Your Brief workbook series — a guided process that helps you articulate your project vision, define its major pillars, and understand your role as a client in bringing your dream home to life. The workbooks give you a framework for decision-making, aligning intentions with practical next steps before design begins.
The package also includes a consultation with one of our designers to discuss your ideas and aspirations, as well as a take-home document that captures the project at a broad, high level — something you can keep, share, and refer back to as your plans evolve.
If you are ready to get your project moving, our Concept Design Package brings your ideas to life.
Along with our Build Your Brief workbook series, you’ll take a deep dive into your brief exploring constraints and ideas. We’ll prepare a project scope, visit your site to complete a site analysis and recommend specialist consultants. Over several design sessions we’ll workshop your ideas and build your concept. Discussing your budget throughout we’ll provide an early estimate of the costs involved.
For projects ready to move from paper to reality, book a consultation with our Director Natalie to discuss how we can help.
