A consultation phase to analyze the space’s potential and technical constraints and to conduct an initial feasibility assessment, with a limited number of projects managed concurrently.
Based on the project specifications, the studio proposes spatial layout concepts—supported by plans, diagrams, perspectives, and 3D renderings—that are refined during working meetings until approved, with input from a land surveyor, an acoustician, a thermal engineer, a lighting designer, or a specialized consultancy as required.

A renovation budget depends on numerous factors: the property’s initial condition, the scope of alterations, technical complexity, floor area, level of finish and choice of materials, fixtures, custom fittings, and the project timeline.
