Smaller projects may not necessitate every step in the design process to the same extent as larger, more complex ventures, but even the simplest projects will benefit from a systematic progression through a series of steps in logical sequence to solve the design problem.

The main phases of my interior design process are:
#The 1st Meeting where we defines the project in very general terms :the client(s); the nature of the project ; the location of the project; the purpose of the space and the extent of the design work. There is an interview to identificaty each of the users – from principal occupants to guests and friends. In a residential design, a profile may be developed for each of the principal residents, including such information as their age and sex, hobbies, habits, need for privacy, style and colour preferences, and an inventory of possessions and furnishings that need to be accommodated in the redesigned space.

#The Presentation: We sent to client the main design concept is articulated in the form of a written "Concept Statement" expressing the principal ideas and approach behind the proposed design solution and budget range. The Concept Statement is accompanied by Schematic Drawings – quick sketches and graphic visualizations of these main ideas – portraying the siting, orientation, space allocations, circulation patterns, spatial and activity relationships from a variety of perspectives, colour schemes and other important details of the proposed design.

#Concept development:
Once the Presentation is approved, the concept development phase begins. The initial ‘ideation’ stage involves brainstorming design solutions (verbal, sketched or written) before filtering out unworkable ideas and refining the workable ones until one or more main design concepts emerge.
The main design concept is articulated in the floorplan and 3D visualization (before/after) of each room and a written Concept Statement expressing the principal ideas and approach behind the proposed design solution. The Concept Statement is accompanied by Schematic Drawings – colour schemes and other important details of the proposed design.

TheFinal Design Development and the estimate budget. The final design documentation, including drawings, visualization 2D and 3D, specifications, schedules and timeframe become part of the designer’s contract with client.

Work: Once the final design is approved, the execution or implementation phase marks the realisation of the design. We will make regular site visits to co-ordinate progress, inspect the quality of workmanship and resolve any on-site issues. Once construction and installation works are complete, we will draw up a list of defects to be resolved before movable furnishings, materials and accessories are installed.
