The composition of the design project

This section briefly describes the principles and composition of the work performed by our studio. The work on the design and implementation of the object is divided into four stages described below. Before starting work, the customer draws up a technical task. This specification has been previously agreed with the designer for its feasibility.

In the terms of reference, you can also describe all the wishes related to the image of the apartment and the stylistic solution of the interior. Also, from the very beginning, the customer determines the financial framework that the designer should focus on.

Author's supervision

To start this type of work, a completed and approved project, as well as an approved estimate, is required. Author's supervision is carried out over construction works and works on installation of furniture, equipment, lighting. For the successful progress of the construction, timely ordering of everything necessary is important. Some of the purely technical issues that do not affect the architectural and design part are resolved between the customer and subcontractors directly, without the participation of the designer. All contracts for the supply of everything necessary, the customer concludes independently. For technological quality control of all works performed at the facility, an independent expert can be hired, since this type of work is not included in the author's supervision.


  • The work includes:
  • Periodic site visits as work progresses and issues arise
  • Control of compliance of ongoing construction work with the design project
  • Consulting work with contractors
  • Advisory work with suppliers
  • Approval of the documentation sent by all of the above for confirmation.
  • Partial coordination of the interaction of all of the above and their notification of emerging changes.
  • Local adjustment of the project (if necessary)
