The Grand Entrance

Design concept

The Grand Entrance

The entrance sets the value of everything behind it. A double-height hall, a sculptural stair and one considered material palette change how the whole villa reads within three seconds of the door opening.

Process

How it runs.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    What you want the home to feel like, and what the budget genuinely needs to be.

  2. 02

    Property review

    Villa type, plot, orientation, approvals position and what the developer permits.

  3. 03

    Design direction

    Material palette, references and the level of intervention agreed.

  4. 04

    Concept visuals

    Renders and plans so the villa is resolved on paper before anything moves.

  5. 05

    Scope & quotations

    A written specification, then priced against it — no open-ended allowances.
