A Clear Six-Stage Design Process
From the initial design conversation through to the final construction package, each stage builds on the last. We begin by understanding your vision, document the existing space, review the practical, mechanical and structural considerations that may affect the design.
You receive a working design to review and revise before we create the final renderings and detailed design package used to guide construction.
01
Project Discovery and Design Direction
We discuss how you want the space to look, feel and function, including your needs, priorities, preferred colour palette and inspiration images.
02
On-Site Measurements and Feasibility
We measure the existing room, document the current layout and review factors that may affect the design, including plumbing, mechanical systems, joist direction and potential structural conditions. Where required, we identify when further structural or engineering review may be needed.
03
Concept Design and Preliminary Selections
Using your inspiration and project requirements, we develop the initial layout and begin selecting real tile, cabinetry, fixtures, lighting, colours and finishes.
04
Working 3D Design Draft
We place the preliminary products and finishes into a working 3D design. This first draft helps you understand the overall direction before the final rendering is produced.
05
Client Review and Revisions
You review the working design and provide feedback. We refine the layout, products, colours and design details until the direction is confirmed.
06
Final Renderings and Design Package
Once the design is approved, we prepare the polished final renderings and complete design package, including layouts, elevations, dimensions, product selections and construction details.
See How the Design Develops
We use your inspiration to establish the design direction, populate the working design with real products and refine the concept with you before preparing the final renderings and complete design package.
Client Brief and Inspiration
The homeowner wanted a warm, spa-like downstairs bathroom that coordinated with the existing pine finishes.
Key requirements:
- Zellige-style tile in a neutral, blue or green tone
- Neutral terrazzo-look floor tile
- A compact vanity, pedestal sink or wall-mounted sink
Working 3D Design Draft
From the client brief, room measurements and real product selections, we developed the proposed design direction.
Selections:
- Gleeze Subway tile - Zellige-style tile in a neutral
- Oasis Bone - Neutral terrazzo-look floor tile
- 30" Wall-Mounted Vanity With Sintered Stone
Real Products Coordinated Before Construction
Once the initial layout and design direction are established, we coordinate the actual tile, flooring, wallcovering, vanity, lighting, fixtures and paint colours. Reviewing every selection together helps create a cohesive result before products are ordered and construction begins.

Final rendering developed using the confirmed layout, products, finishes and project dimensions.
The Design Comes Together
Following the homeowner’s review and confirmation of the material selections, the layout, fixtures and finishes were refined into the final rendering and complete design package.
How the final design delivers the spa-like brief:
- Warm, calming materials - Soft beige tile, neutral terrazzo-look flooring and brown oak cabinetry create a relaxed, natural palette.
- Texture and subtle variation - The Gleeze tile and linen-look wallpaper add depth and character without overwhelming the room.
- Clean, open detailing - The floating vanity, frameless glass shower and champagne-bronze fixtures keep the compact bathroom visually open.
Designed to Fit the Real Space
The final design isn't based on appearance alone. Measurements, fixture locations and clearances are considered so the approved concept can move from visualization into construction.
