HOW WE
start.
We don't take every project. We don't pretend to. Good work needs the right client, a real budget, and time we haven't already spent on someone else.
Our calendar is small on purpose. A few residences a season, a handful of commercial rooms a year. If it's a fit, you'll know within two weeks. If it isn't, we won't waste your time pretending.
By application only.
"If we didn't want to be in the room, we shouldn't be on the project."

APPLY.
Tell us about the space, roughly what you plan to spend, when you want it done, and who you actually are. If you can't answer those four things, you're not ready — and that's fine.

REVIEW.
We read every inquiry. In person, not by algorithm. We're looking for scope we can actually solve, a budget that respects the work, and a client who wants a point of view, not a mood board.
- 03Stage
WORKING SESSION.
If it's a fit, we book a paid consultation. You get real direction, on the record, from the studio — not a pitch, not a sales call. We charge for it because our ideas aren't a free sample.
- 04Stage
PROPOSAL.
Scope, fee, timeline, and the honest version of what your project will and won't be — in writing. If we're the wrong studio, we say so and send you somewhere better. Nobody signs anything they'll regret.
- 05Stage
BEGIN.
You sign, we take a deposit, the project goes on the calendar. Sometimes that means next month. Sometimes next season. We only run a few projects at once, on purpose.
A note, so nobody wastes anyone's afternoon.
Sending an inquiry isn't a booking. We turn down more work than we take. If your budget isn't there yet, or the timing's off, we'll tell you — and we'll tell you when to come back.
We don't do rush jobs, we don't do rebrands of someone else's Pinterest board, and we don't do "just a consultation" for free. We do good work, for people who came here for exactly that.
