FAQ
Questions people often ask
Notes on how residential work tends to unfold — materials, makers, and the rhythms of an occupied home.
How does a residential project usually begin?
We start with a walk-through: where light lands, what you want to keep, and which rooms feel stuck. That conversation becomes a short priorities note we reuse as decisions accumulate.
What appears in a concept presentation?
Plan sketches, a material palette, and a handful of reference images — enough to discuss proportion and mood before specifications get heavy.
How are materials chosen?
We narrow to a small family of surfaces — timber, stone, textile, metal — and test them against light in your rooms. The goal is surfaces you can live with, not a catalogue of every option.
Do you work alongside builders and cabinet makers?
Yes. Drawings and finish schedules are written for the trades on site; we answer questions as joinery and tile work proceed.
What should we prepare before a first meeting?
Photos of rooms that frustrate you, pieces you intend to keep, and a plain list of what must change — function first, then atmosphere.
