About Us

CLIENT BRIEF

This initial stage of the project will include preliminary studies of the site or property and will enable our team to gain a greater understanding of our clients personal taste, style, lifestyle habits and aspirations for the project. This in turn allows us to create their dream home. Every client’s wishes and expectations are different, so we make sure our brief is comprehensive, ensuring that we have everything covered. So many factors need to be considered with each client, from location and style of the property to a client’s budget and timescale. Our scale of work comprises of full refurbishments, Interior architecture services and Interior Design. There are several stages to the design process depending on where the project is in terms of build stage and what our client requires.

DESIGN STAGE ONE

Once a clear brief has been established our team will begin the design stage. We will survey the existing property, or floor plans and where necessary add to the original information in terms of room layouts, window and door openings and furniture positions. We will use this information to produce drawings in CAD where necessary. We will oversee any planning permission applications where architectural changes have been altered. External windows and doors, render colour or brick choices influence planning consent, therefore all architectural elements are considered and approved at this point.

DESIGN STAGE TWO

After spatial layouts and furniture positions are approved we will produce full lighting and small power plans. Often working closely alongside our clients preferred home automation contractor. So much will be considered and designed at this stage, from internal and exterior lighting, security and alarm systems, sound and media requirements, underfloor heating systems and electric curtain/blind tracks, to name a few. All individually tailored to our clients needs and lifestyle, the property style and our client’s budget.

DESIGN STAGE THREE

Once all of the above has been approved our team will work on finalising each individual space. Kitchen and bathroom designs will begin, working alongside our extended team of suppliers. Each design is personalised around our clients exact needs, taking all aspects into consideration. For example, the type of cuisines our clients prefer to cook will influence the appliances we supply for the kitchen or a client’s height may impact the height of the kitchen worktop.

Furniture specification will be produced for each room, including wall and floor finishes, window treatment designs and specification, feature lighting proposals, bespoke cabinetry design and many more. Our team will produce individual and unique fabric schemes for each space. This stage requires a number of design meetings to ensure our clients are happy with each and every decision. This will run alongside correspondence via email and over the phone, keeping our clients updated with all aspects of the design process.

DESIGN STAGE FOUR

The most exciting part for our clients is the installation phase. Our team will oversee the entire process ensuring this phase is done as smoothly and seamlessly as possible. And just because the project has come to an end does not mean our relationship has. Modish pride ourselves on our long standing relationships with all of our clients.
