We liaise with you to finalise the floor plans and incorporate any finishing touches.  Once the floor plan is confirmed we can move on to the design aspects.  We specify the most appropriate furniture styles to meet your needs and preferences. Finishes are selected throughout the interior including; colour concepts for flooring, walls, desking and furniture, reception counters, soft seating, feature areas, art, plants and finishing touches. Then we bring it all to life with 3D imagery from our finalised floor plans, enabling you to share our vision for your newly designed space.
