Our Process

Whether you’re a prolific developer or a first time builder, our process begins with conversation.

 

Our Approach

 

As both Architects and Interior Designers we have realized an approach that seeks to create atmospheres that are unique and that support the clients vision for the space.

We carefully consider how people flow through a space to ensure a pleasant experience for patrons or users.

While we do look for a design aesthetic that is a balance of innovative and traditional hospitality materials, our approach is to provide an interior design that is unique and stands the test of time.

Designing

 

On our hospitality projects, we listen carefully to the clients in order to develop an interior design that is specific to their project. We typically utilize drawings, images and a 3D model in a ‘First Thoughts’ presentation in order to illustrate key design concepts and these become the basis of an open conversation with a client to establish a design direction. Once this design direction is launched, we typically work with contractors and crafts people on budget conscious detailing that is creative and supports the overall design vision.

Building

 

Whether working on a new brewery or a childcare space, we have been fortunate to work with many clients with unique and exciting visions across a wide range of project types. We have enjoyed the collaborative and innovative nature of our projects and have come to understand how the interior design of these projects is integral to the success of these ventures. With an emphasis on local, we have developed a connection with local artists, craftspeople and contractors to create spaces that enhance social connections for patrons and staff using these spaces.

Our team has extensive experience with the design, permitting and construction of retail spaces, breweries and restaurants in British Columbia. We understand that the process of realizing a vision is increasingly complex and our practice is committed to ensuring that you are well guided along the path from early paper sketches to the swing of the door on opening day.
