The Design
When a client comes to us with a space or a project, we first and foremost consider in great detail with the client, what the intended use of that space will be. It’s very easy to beautify a space, but a truly successful project manages to find the right balance between beauty, form, functionality, practicality and utility. This can only be achieved with a clear and thorough design plan, which we set out to achieve by segmenting the design process into five clear stages.
The Initial Meeting:
You will come to our office, or we will meet you at the site to discuss the intended use of the space. We will take note of your requirements and preferences and perform a site survey (if meeting at the site) to fully understand the design area.
The Proposal and Design Plan:
After carefully considering the site’s intended use, and the requirements and preferences noted during the initial meeting, a detailed proposal will be submitted to you. The proposal will contain a customised design plan as a template for the overall project. Within the design, plan will be our costs for services provided, a summary of the work to be undertaken and recommended timelines associated with the creative process.
The Design Stage:
Upon receiving your signed approval of the design plan, a more in-depth consultation will be held to formalise the creative process. Data from the site survey will give us an accurate overview of the space to be designed. From this, we will present you with a design deck. The deck will feature visual options, illustrations and sketches that fit the brief. Once these have been approved by you, more detailed technical drawings, CGIs, renderings, drawings and schematics for construction, material swatches and samples that will be incorporated into the final design will be produced for you to fully convey our design vision. The design stage continually evolves, with minute changes being added to each and every aspect of the project right up until installation in accordance with your requirements.
The Design Completion and Bridging Stage:
We finalise the design here, having adjusted for any amendments to the design deck. With the design now finalised, we hand over all notes to your construction team as they commence the construction phase of the project.
On-Going Support:
Rest assured, we will still be on hand to assist with any design queries you, or your construction team may have throughout the construction phase in realising the designs. Many clients have concerns once plans have been handed over, but at Louis Zhang Studio we remain committed to delivering an exceptional, seamless, stress-free experience, and remain available to you until completion.
