Commercial Interior Design
Service and Offerings
Our capabilities across commercial interior design span from small to large scale ground-up builds; remodeling; tenant improvements; color; and FF&E specification with a specialty in hospitality, boutique medical, and workplace design.
We value maintaining an organized and in depth design process to ensure each design phase is thorough, from concept development and schematic design; to design development and construction documentation; to FF&E specification and construction administration.
Process
1 Concept Development
We feel every project has a story and are passionate about understanding and creating the story that is reflective of the who, why, and where for each project. To understand and accurately craft each project’s story, we kick off a project with a discovery session to obtain all the applicable and pertinent information to guide our design research and analysis phases. The insights we obtain from the research help us develop the concept, discover opportunities, and define the programming and FF&E requirements for the space.
2 Schematic Design
The schematic design phase is where we work out all the kinks such as the location of interior walls; lighting; key design details; millwork; furniture; and architectural finishes. We then present the preliminary design including floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, and initial FF&E selections from insights and inspiration.
3 Design Development & Documentation
The design development phase is where we get nitty-gritty and ensure all the desired design details have been considered, drawn, and depicted correctly. We finalize the colors, finishes, and fixtures to final floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, finish plans, elevations, millwork details, and 3D renderings and visualizations.
4 Construction Documentation
The construction documentation phase is where we align with our partner architects and consultants to review the architectural construction documents to ensure everything is drawn accordingly and accurately displaying the design intent.
We also review the project budget with the build team and consult on specifications and areas that can be value-engineered to reduce costs. As well as coordinate with project consultants to oversee proper execution of project documentation, as necessary
5 FF&E Selection & Specification
The FF&E selection and specification phase is where we identify all the furniture, fixture, and equipment selections and ensure we have the specifications and finishes correct and within budgetary constraints.
After everything is confirmed and signed off on, we coordinate directly with the furniture dealer or purchasing agent and finalize the furniture orders.
Lastly, we construct the FF&E booklet outlining all the final finishes and specifications to hand off to the client for future reference and project documentation.
6 Construction Administration
We stay engaged throughout the entire construction process from the beginning to the end of the project, ensuring everything stays on-track and completed to our specifications, through weekly walkthroughs, site visits, and collaborative project management platforms.
7 Procurement & Installation
We partner with top-tier furniture dealers and receivers to coordinate the procurement, storage, and installation of all the FF&E specifications for the project.
Once we have identified and selected the right partners for the project, we stay engaged with them throughout the entirety of the project ensuring they are updated on any specification or timeline changes.
When it is time for the installation, we meet the receiver on-site with our team and work alongside them to direct furniture and material locations to ensure all the pieces match the final design.
