Planning before decoration
Interior architecture addresses the relationships between rooms, levels, openings and building systems. We study existing conditions and circulation before shaping the architectural language. For a renovation, the starting point is what can be retained, adapted or removed, with structural and building-services input where required.
What we resolve
- Existing-condition review
- adjacency planning
- circulation
- section studies
- interior elevations
- consultant coordination
Decisions that make the difference
Test the plan
Compare circulation and spatial options against existing conditions and the operating brief.
Develop the detail
Coordinate materials, lighting, joinery and specialist interfaces with the approved direction.
Prepare for delivery
Align procurement, site responsibilities and inspections with the agreed programme.
Planning your Shanghai project
Bring available plans, photographs, an approximate area and your intended use to the first conversation. We review the building’s conditions and the decisions that influence scope, investment and timing. The brief can evolve, but responsibilities and approval points should stay clear.
For an occupied property, access and continuity need particular attention. For a new fit-out, the starting shell and technical systems shape the work. A written scope separates design, construction, furniture and specialist packages so you can compare proposals on the same basis.

A few useful answers
Can you adapt an existing building for a new use?
We can assess the interior opportunities and coordinate the required specialist review. A new use may change occupancy, services and approval requirements. Those constraints must be evaluated before confirming feasibility, budget or construction scope.
What can the interior architecture scope include?
The scope can cover existing-condition review; adjacency planning; circulation; section studies; interior elevations; consultant coordination. We select and define the relevant deliverables in the proposal, including consultant interfaces and any exclusions. This allows you to compare the service against your actual brief.
What affects the interior architecture budget?
Important factors include existing conditions, layout changes and technical interfaces. Area alone is not enough to establish a reliable figure. We separate design deliverables, construction and procurement allowances, and review changes before they become site instructions.
Which interior architecture decisions should be made early?
Confirm existing conditions, layout changes and technical interfaces alongside the project brief. These decisions influence coordination and lead times. Review the existing space, agree who signs off the design and identify any specialist input before a final completion date is committed.
