what we offer
1. initial consultation
Our studio works closely with private and commercial clients to ensure clarity of purpose, budget and creative vision. Whether home owners, retailers or hoteliers, the initial consultation with Bree Thomas Design is a deep dive into the requirements of the project, the interior ‘wish list’, desired outcomes, budget, timeframe and collaborators (architects, builders etc). Understanding the big picture of the project allows us to get cracking on what we do best; creating tailor–made interiors
2. concept planning
Next step is a site visit to understand and measure-up the spaces involved in the project. We discuss further and explore the design intent, the desired aesthetics of the interior and how the spaces need to work. We commence spatial planning and developing an overall concept. We also work towards a deeper understanding of how the project team will be working together. An initial project timeline is devised and the concept inspiration comes together.
3. sketch design
This is the moment when the interior design concept comes to life. We present our vision for the new interior using 3D renders, floor plans, finishes, the essential details of fixtures, fittings and anything else we believe will allow our clients to see, feel and experience our vision for the new interior.
4. design development
This is the stage where we take client feedback onboard, developing the design, making tweaks and reselecting finishes as required. We also typically resolve fittings and fixtures selections during this stage.
5. documentation
Our studio is meticulous about highly detailed documentation. Once the client has approved the proposed design, we move on to a thorough documentation phase working with all consultants and contractors so that the project is ready for pricing and construction. It involves construction documentation alongside equipment, finishes and lighting schedules.
6. documentation coordination
During this stage, we assist with compiling a list of preferred builders and tradespeople to quote on the project. We help review the quotes and provide recommendations. This is also where we coordinate our drawings with the packages developed by relevant partners – the architect, landscape designer and/or graphic designer.
7. site support
During the construction phase, we offer site support to the client, ensuring a successful result. Our on-site services include site visits, liaison with tradespeople, troubleshooting and quality control.
8. furniture & decoration
We are passionate about the curation of exceptional furniture, art and objects for the interiors. We have an extensive knowledge of what’s available and an ongoing curiosity for new materials and products and custom design joinery, masonry, cabinetry and furniture.
