Eight directions
Every direction below is a real specification. Cabinetry construction, stone family, metal finish and the colour temperature the room is lit at, because a palette chosen under 4000K showroom light is a palette chosen wrong.

01
Pick one, then break it
Most clients arrive with two of these and leave with a hybrid. That is fine: the point of a specified direction is that you can see exactly which part you are changing.

White on white, with the joinery doing all the talking.

Terracotta against deep walnut, for a room that reads warm at night.

One stone, used everywhere, including the doors.

A deep green perimeter with a pale island as the light source.

Soft-textured cabinetry with a nearly invisible hardware line.

Matte black joinery against a single pale stone.

Desert warmth without the turquoise and the terracotta pot.

A working kitchen dressed as a workshop, with visible structure.
02
Virtual walkthrough, included at Signature and above
Every Signature and Bespoke project is modelled from the plan set. You walk through the room, check the sight lines from the sofa and move things while moving them is still free.

Your plan set is modelled and rendered, then toured on a headset at the studio or shared as a link you can open on a phone.
Changing an island length in a model costs an afternoon. Changing it after the cabinetry is released costs a change order and three weeks.
We render the room at the colour temperature it will actually be lit at, so the stone and the cabinetry read honestly.
03
How to use it
Arriving with "Ember, but with the Verdant island" saves an hour of adjectives and gets us to a drawing faster.
Keep the cabinetry, change the stone. Because each direction is fully specified, you can see exactly what one change costs.
Knowing you hate unlacquered brass is as useful to us as knowing you love it, and it is faster to establish here than in the library.

Ninety minutes at the studio with the full materials library and the direction you picked here.
Design fee credited against your project. Consultations booking 3 to 4 weeks out.
