RESIDENTIAL : INTERIOR and BUILDING DESIGN

Home is where we start and end our day. Home is more than just a place – we want our homes to be special:  a refuge, a place to hang with family and friends. My aim is to help you create a home you love and add value to your asset.

Design services:

• client consultation and design brief
• space analysis and planning
• concept design and sketch presentations
• detailed Graphisoft ArchiCAD design documentation
• consultant and council liaison
• applications for planning and building permissions (residential class 1 buildings only)
• product (furniture, fittings and fixtures) research and specification
• tender documentation
• construction documentation
• site visits
• interior decoration
• property styling

I start the interior design process by meeting with you and getting a detailed brief about your necessary and desired outcomes. With this information and a site survey (simple or detailed depending on the project) I do a space analysis and present optional concept sketches. Once a final concept is selected by you, detailed design and refinement of that concept occurs.

I also always try to design the interiors with a few key principles in mind, such as optimising natural light, making spaces flow effortlessly from one to the other, selecting appropriate colour schemes, designing custom made joinery, and specifying artwork, furniture or finishing touches.

At the documentation stage, detailed and annotated plans are prepared for tender and construction purposes. Should your residential project require planning and building permission, and provided it is a class 1 building,  I can liaise with the relevant council or private certifier and prepare the DA or Complying Development applications together with any supporting documentation required from engineers, registered design practitioners and other consultants.

Once contractors/builders have been selected and appointed, I continue to liaise with the builder and client throughout the building process as I strongly believe this collaborative approach delivers the best results.
