A home shaped by your life
The best homes feel personal without becoming difficult to live in. We begin with family routines, privacy, hosting, storage and the objects you want to keep. For an apartment, efficient planning can unlock more value than decorative complexity. In a villa, the relationship between floors, gardens and shared rooms becomes central to the brief.
What we resolve
- Family brief
- apartment or villa planning
- bespoke joinery
- kitchen and bathroom coordination
- lighting
- furniture and styling
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 the design include existing furniture and collections?
Yes. Share dimensions, photographs and any pieces with personal importance at the briefing stage. We plan circulation, display lighting and storage around those objects so the finished home feels collected and lived in, rather than assembled from a catalogue.
What can the residential design scope include?
The scope can cover family brief; apartment or villa planning; bespoke joinery; kitchen and bathroom coordination; lighting; furniture and styling. 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 residential design budget?
Important factors include joinery, kitchens, bathrooms and existing furniture. 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 residential design decisions should be made early?
Confirm joinery, kitchens, bathrooms and existing furniture 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.
