Our Process

Our design process blends creative expertise with close collaboration to deliver exceptional results. Through personalized consultations, we develop tailored, innovative solutions that enhance both functionality and aesthetics. By thoroughly assessing each site, integrating sustainable solutions, and ensuring regulatory compliance, we minimize risks and maximise results. Our keen eye for detail ensures every element contributes to the overall vision. This efficient approach transforms each client’s vision into reality, creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also practical. We focus on turning ideas into functional, aesthetically pleasing designs while ensuring the highest quality and value.

The process begins with understanding your needs, style preferences, and budget, followed by measuring the space and planning an efficient layout. We then create a 3D design, select materials, and finalize the budget before the construction and installation. Once complete, we conduct a final walkthrough and offer ongoing support to ensure your kitchen meets your expectations.

Step 1

Initial Consultation & Pre-Design

Design Consultation

The initial consultation is the first step in turning your vision into reality. During this phase, we collaborate closely with you to understand your goals, preferences, and aspirations for the space. We assess the site or project area, discussing desired styles, functions, and key features while considering environmental factors and the timeline. This includes gathering input on aesthetics, material choices, and sustainability goals. The outcome of this session is a comprehensive project brief, setting the foundation for a personalized design that aligns with your vision and prepares for the next steps in the design process.

The initial consultation is the first step in creating your ideal kitchen. The designer will discuss your lifestyle, how you use your kitchen, and any specific needs or challenges, such as storage or layout issues. They'll explore your style preferences and timeline, as well as assess the space—whether remodeling or planning a new build. This meeting helps the designer prioritize key features like storage, appliances, and layout, ensuring the final design aligns with your vision and needs. The goal is to create a customized plan that fits your style and enhances functionality.

Step 2

Concept Design

Measuring your property

The concept design phase translates your vision into initial design concepts. We explore architectural elements such as massing, layout, and spatial organization while developing interior layouts, mood boards, materials, finishes, and furniture selections. For landscape design, we integrate natural elements like plants and water features, focusing on layout and functionality. Lighting schemes are conceptualized to enhance the ambiance and meet space needs. This phase results in concept sketches, 3D models, and mood boards that visually communicate the design direction, ensuring alignment with your goals before moving forward with more detailed planning and development.

Before the design process begins, we use advanced 3D scanning technology to create a precise digital model of your kitchen. This scan captures detailed measurements of walls, windows, doors, ceiling height, appliances, and any existing plumbing or electrical points. It also considers traffic flow, ensuring the space is functional and comfortable for multiple users. The result is an interactive virtual tour that you can explore online from any angle, providing a clear, visual preview of the space. This accurate model serves as a solid foundation for the design process, ensuring every decision is based on precise measurements.

Step 3

Design Development

Concept Design

In the design development phase, we take your initial concept and transform it into a detailed, actionable plan. We carefully select architectural materials, define structural systems, and organize the space to fit your needs. The interior design evolves with precise layouts, furniture selections, finishes, and lighting plans. In landscape design, we finalize plant choices, hardscaping, and outdoor features. We also refine the lighting design, selecting fixtures and determining placement for the perfect ambiance. The result is a complete set of detailed plans, 3D models, and material boards, ensuring everything is aligned with your vision and ready for execution.

In the concept design phase, we turn your vision into a clear, visual plan by exploring layout options that optimize space and functionality. We follow the “work triangle” principle, creating efficient zones for prep, cooking, cleaning, and storage. Key features like islands, storage solutions, and appliance placements are considered, along with material choices for cabinetry, countertops, and flooring. We provide 3D renderings or mood boards to help you visualize the design, refining the details to ensure the final concept aligns perfectly with your style and needs.

Step 4

Sustainable Design & Integration

Design Development

At the heart of our design process is sustainability. We integrate eco-friendly practices across architecture, interior design, landscape, and lighting to create spaces that are both beautiful and responsible. From water-efficient irrigation and native planting in the landscape to energy-efficient building materials and passive design, we prioritize environmental impact. Inside, we use sustainable materials, efficient appliances, and eco-conscious furniture choices. For lighting, we focus on energy-efficient solutions and smart controls that maximize natural light. The result is a harmonious, energy-efficient design that aligns with your values while enhancing your space.

‍Key tasks in this phase include finalizing the layout to ensure optimal flow and functionality, selecting materials and finishes that align with your vision, and detailing plumbing and electrical layouts for a seamless design. Custom features, such as cabinetry, built-ins, and other design elements, are specified in detail to match your needs. 3D renderings or visual mockups are created to help you clearly visualize the design and make any necessary adjustments. Once you review and approve the design, it is finalized and prepared for the next phase—construction documentation. This stage ensures that the design is clear, functional, and perfectly aligned with your goals.

Step 5

Construction Documentation

Construction Documentation

In this phase, we prepare your project for execution by finalizing detailed, construction-ready plans. Architectural drawings, construction details, and specifications are completed to guide the build process. Interior design is refined with detailed floor plans, furniture layouts, lighting designs, and finish schedules. Landscape plans are developed, including planting designs, irrigation systems, and hardscape specifications. Lighting design is finalized with fixture selections, schedules, and installation details. The result is a comprehensive set of construction documents and material schedules, ensuring that every element of the project is well-defined, aligned with your vision, and ready for seamless execution.

This stage provides you with detailed plans and instructions for contractors to execute your design. It includes floor plans and elevations that show the layout, cabinetry placement, and wall details. Specifications for cabinetry, millwork, plumbing, and electrical ensure precise placement of fixtures and appliances. Lighting and material specifications outline finishes, countertops, and flooring to ensure consistency with your vision. Permits and approvals are obtained to confirm compliance with building codes. This documentation ensures clarity, minimizes errors, and helps guide the project to successful execution, staying on track and on time.

Step 6

Finalizing Your Design for Execution

Project Completion

In the final phase, we prepare your project with detailed, construction-ready plans. We complete the architectural drawings, construction details, and specifications to ensure a smooth build. Interior design is fine-tuned with precise floor plans, furniture arrangements, lighting designs, and finish schedules. For the landscape, we provide planting, irrigation, and hardscaping plans. Lighting design is finalized with fixture selections, placement, and installation details. This phase results in a comprehensive set of construction documents and material schedules, ensuring that every detail is aligned, fully prepared, and ready for the seamless execution of your vision.

Once your design is complete and council consent is obtained, the construction phase begins, with the contractor executing the approved design. Regular site inspections help address any issues, and a final inspection ensures that everything meets the required standards. In the final stage of your kitchen project, we coordinate the installation of cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and fixtures, ensuring that every element aligns with your vision. After installation, a thorough final walkthrough is conducted to check for any last details or adjustments. Finishing touches, such as accessories and textiles, are added, and the completed kitchen is handed over, fully ready for use and perfectly reflecting your style.
