Every project begins with a spark of inspiration — whether it's a collection of reference images, a designer’s concept, or a mood board built around a single material. At this stage, we invite clients and their designers to share their ideas, preferences, and aspirations. This early dialogue is essential to understanding the lifestyle needs, aesthetic direction, and the intended emotional impact of the space.

We take the time to explore the details behind the inspiration — what drew the client to a certain finish, the function behind a particular layout, or the mood they want to create. These conversations help us extract the underlying vision and align it with our craftsmanship and capabilities. Our team is trained to read between the lines, often identifying technical or functional considerations that may not yet be fully defined.

This step sets the foundation for a collaborative relationship. We don’t impose — we interpret and enhance. The goal at this stage is to translate inspiration into a starting point for technical planning, ensuring we’re designing something not just beautiful, but fully tailored to the people who will live in the space.
