LIVE
You already know, thanks to TV, that Designers can pick your paint colours. "Reality" shows would have you believe that designers just come in, and VOILA! - give the homeowners a new space. The clients never get a chance to provide input, and are always surprised by the result, good or bad. The reality is that a Professional Interior Designer works closely with you, so that your home suits your needs and fits your lifestyle.

Work
You experience spaces we design; every day. Every time you go grocery shopping or pick up a prescription. Every time you visit the insurance office or the bank. Dental office. Plastic surgeon. Oh yes, and likely your own workstation too.
Registered Interior Designers are involved at every stage of planning, construction, renovation and fit-out. We work closely with you, designing a workspace that suits your organization’s functional needs and reflects the overall brand. We draw the floor plans, detail built-ins, choose the furniture and light fixtures, select the carpet and tile, even source and place that perfect piece of art. CORPORATE OFFICES, MEDICAL & DENTAL FACILITIES, EDUCATION & FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, HOSPITALS, CARE FACILITIES, & LABORATORIES, AIRPORTS, GROCERY & RETAIL STORES AND MORE… |
Play
Do you like to have fun? We do! We have fun designing your favourite restaurants, recreation centres, theatres & hotels. We also draw on an extensive knowledge of health authority, liquor licensing, building codes and functional planning to make sure that nothing interferes with your fun.
You already know the great work we do on the front end (the finishes, furniture and lighting), but what you may not know is that we’ve already considered flow, exit routes for safety, traffic patterns for wait staff, clear lines of visibility for lifeguards, commercial kitchen requirements (all the less than glamorous ‘stuff’ that should work well and never be noticed). RESTAURANTS, HOTELS, BARS, FITNESS STUDIOS, DAYCARE, RECREATION CENTRES, SPA & WELLNESS FACILITIES, AND MORE… |
