Frequently asked

Do the fees include furnishings and building works?+

No. All quoted fees cover design and project time. Furniture, fittings, materials and contractor costs are separate, and are agreed with you before anything is ordered.

How is a fee determined?+

By the number of rooms, the extent of structural change, and the degree of construction oversight required. Following the first visit you receive a single fixed figure rather than an open-ended account.

May we begin with a single room?+

Certainly. Many commissions begin with one room and develop from there once the process is familiar.

How long does a project take?+

A single-room concept typically takes two to four weeks. A whole home, from design through to styling, generally runs three to nine months depending on the construction programme.

Do you work beyond your local area?+

Yes. Travel beyond one hour from the studio is charged at cost and agreed in advance.

We already have an architect. Is that a difficulty?+

Not at all. With three years spent adapting architectural drawings on live sites, joining an established team is familiar ground.
