  • Line drawing by 'GID' of two people sitting at a table, facing each other having a conversation.

    Phase 1: Initial Consultation & Project Brief

    Meet on-site to discuss your vision, budget, timeline, and scope

    Define your goals and lifestyle needs

    Establish a detailed design brief

  • Simple floor plan sketch by 'GID' of a room with two areas containing furniture outlines including a table, chairs, and a desk near the walls.

    Phase 2: Concept Design & Space Planning

    Source council or existing plans (if available)

    Conduct a detailed site measure

    Draft the existing layout in CAD, including fixed joinery and key furniture

    Create mood boards and visual direction to convey design intent

    Develop 2–3 design concepts and space planning options

    Present options and refine the preferred direction based on feedback

  • Minimalistic line art by 'GID' of six different chair designs on a dark background
