FLEXIBLE TO YOUR NEEDS
Good design is only the start of the journey with our clients; we see each project as a long-term relationship regardless of how big or small the scheme is.
Our architectural expertise seamlessly enables us to work with your architects, contractors and development team from the inception of a new development or refurbishment. Because we understand the whole process, you won't waste time or budget retrofitting interiors that don’t fit the spaces.
Your brand is also important to us, and your residents so we dovetail architecture, design and branding to give you a result that looks and feels like you.
Every project is unique and this is why we create bespoke services that work for you, your team and your residents without any preconceived notions.
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
At A Designer at Heart, we go beyond the traditional interior design service meaning we can be more efficient, work faster and therefore get your building to a high standard for occupancy.
We design using BIM, we can create FF&E tender documents and we develop CGIs so you can join us in the vision of what your final space will look like.
This is all before we start talking about colours, textures, furniture and styling the spaces ready for your brand and marketing department to deliver it to market.
No matter the depth and structure of your internal department or suppliers, we can work around that – on time and within budget.
IMAGINATION AND CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN
Your investment needs to work for the future. We harness a ‘people of the future first’ mentality when designing spaces meaning we are always looking forward at something that will provide you with a longstanding legacy.
In practice, this results in cutting-edge, sustainable designs that will meet the needs of the residents of the future whether that be in 2, 10 or 15 years' time. We want to be part of your team that creates homes for the future, so you don’t have to develop spaces more than once.
Our global team take their inspiration from across the world and different sectors so when we present a concept to you, it will feel fresh yet feel like home at the same time. A space where your residents can thrive in surroundings that feel comforting and stimulating – where they can work or study in communal areas but also know they can shut their front door and be their own true selves in their room or flat.
Get in touch to talk with us about your project – whether that be a refurbishment of one space or a brand-new blank canvas. We flex to suit your needs, providing agile support at any stage of your development.
