Already have all the pieces but don’t know the best way to arrange them in the space?The layout study optimises the organisation of the space, ensuring flow, functionality, and visual balance.Based on the existing plan, we propose the best furniture arrangement and functional zoning. It is particularly useful in early construction phases, house moves, or when reorganising spaces, before investing in furniture.

HOW WE WORK?

More than a linear path, we believe in building each project in close collaboration with the client. It’s a process of dialogue, refinement and mutual alignment — where every stage is shared and validated together.
The most meaningful projects are always shaped by many hands — and they are the ones that stay in our memory.

Step 01

Briefing Meeting and Technical Survey on Site

The first stage of the process is dedicated to getting to know the client and the space. In this meeting, we gather all essential information: desired functionalities, lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, available budget, and expectations.We also carry out a technical visit to the site, where we take precise measurements of the spaces and record all construction elements —such as light points, windows, openings, and existing structures. This survey allows us to work with accurate data and avoid surprises during the course of the project.

Step 02

Creative Concept, Moodboard and Layout Studies

Based on the briefing and survey, we develop a creative concept that translates the project's vision. We present moodboards with visual references, color palette, material suggestions, and decorative style.At this stage, we also propose different space distribution options, analyzing flow, functionality, and visual balance. The layout studies include furniture arrangement, definition of functional zones, and organization proposals, always adapted to the real-life experience of those who inhabit the space.

Step 03

Creative Development and Technical Dossier

With the layout defined, we begin the detailed selection of materials, furniture, lighting, fabrics, decorative pieces, and equipment. We gather all the necessary information for the correct execution of the project: technical plans, sections, elevations, custom furniture drawings, lighting schemes, electrical points, and other technical details.
