DESIGN PROCESS

THE BRIEF

From the initial consultation we detail a design brief which provides a summary of all aspects of the design direction and work to be included within the established budget.

 

CONCEPT DESIGN

During this phase, with the design concept approved, we detail plans and specifications in preparation for the tender and construction process. During design development  we work closely with other specialist consultants, such as architects, engineers, construction managers & landscape designers to ensure all parts of the design work correlate flawlessly throughout the entire project. In the case of commercial work it is common to also team with marketing groups to assist with preparation of the sales material.

 

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

During this phase, with the design concept approved, we detail plans and specifications in preparation for the tender and construction process. During design development  we work closely with other specialist consultants, such as architects, engineers, construction managers & landscape designers to ensure all parts of the design work correlate flawlessly throughout the entire project. In the case of commercial work it is common to also team with marketing groups to assist with preparation of the sales material.

 

DESIGN DETAILING DURING CONSTRUCTION

Design detailing involves working on site with the construction managers to inspect work, respond to RFI inquiries and ensure the design is being correctly followed by the construction team. Here we also check trade construction drawings and inspect the manufacture of products in factories.

 

MANUFACTURING

We manufacture high quality bespoke furniture and exquisite millwork. Our huge manufacturing base over several specialising factories (with engineer design support, in house QC, experience global shipping and more) means we are able to supply at very competitive pricing.

 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

We design, source, cost and oversee the installation of all items to be included. We plan, co-ordinate with suppliers and staff to ensure every detail is perfect to completion. This phase begins during construction, with our team taking over fully after the building has been completed.

She believes this experience provides resort and hotel clients with the unique added advantage of having a design team that understands first-hand what it takes to make their property successful from a design, guest and operational perspective. The Interior Space design group has a two tier offering:

Interior Design & Interior Architecture - The Interior Space has a lot of experience designing for both large scale & boutique properties. The design & documentation includes mood & image presentation boards, white model renders, photo realistic renders & 360° Virtual reality panoramas, sampling boards and full design documentation packages with specifications and plans.

FF & E Design, Procurement Management & Supply - The Interior Space also offer design, procurement management, FF & E supply & installation under the one banner. From concept to project completion this turnkey service for hotel, resort & development clients alike results in each project evolving with its’ own unique stamp & sophistication. With an established global supplier network and a manufacturing arm of four large scale factories located in China and Indonesia the service includes engineering support, in-house QC, global shipping & more. Ros believes their procurement service is unique as it is run by interior designers, rather than traditional procurement managers, who enjoy bringing not only their own designs into fruition but working with developers and other design teams to prepare their project properties for operations.

Ros attributes their international success to The Interior Space's innate ability to CONNECT (client, vision, space & environment), COMMUNICATE (visual imagery, specifications & detailed plans) & CREATE using the design process to enhance the life of those that experience their interiors.

Made's inspiration and love for his work has been drawn from the many juxtaposed environments in his home country of Indonesia - the synergy of youth, the multiple colours of human beings and of course the colours that blend to form human civilization.

So when working he takes these perceptions, the experience the client is hoping to achieve and enriching new concepts - to create the ultimate space. He has been involved on many notable projects and regards The Bale Resort Extension, Nusa Dua as a special achievement.
