Project Initiation

Milestone 1

Markian's interior design process is a crucial starting point that sets the foundation for a successful project. During this phase, the primary goal is to gather essential information, define project objectives, and establish a clear understanding of the client's needs and expectations. Here's an expanded overview of the Project Initiation Phase:

We begin by thoroughly understanding your project's requirements and vision through in-depth consultations and project reviews.

The Project Initiation Phase is a critical step in ensuring that Markian's interior design projects begin on a solid footing. It establishes clear communication, expectations, and a roadmap for the design process, setting the stage for the subsequent phases of design development, implementation, and completion.

  • • The process begins with a thorough consultation with the client. This may involve one or several meetings to discuss the project's scope, goals, and vision.

    • Markian's team takes the time to actively listen to the client's ideas, preferences, and any specific requirements they may have for the interior space.

  • • If applicable, a site visit is conducted to assess the physical space where the design project will take place. This involves measuring the dimensions, noting architectural features, and evaluating the existing condition of the space.

    • Site assessments are essential for understanding any constraints or opportunities that may impact the design.

  • • Markian works closely with the client to establish a realistic budget for the project. This includes discussing financial constraints, allowances, and potential cost-saving measures.

    • A project timeline is also outlined, considering key milestones and deadlines. This helps manage expectations and ensures that the project stays on track.

  • • Based on the information gathered from the client, Markian's design team develops a comprehensive project brief. The project brief serves as a detailed document that outlines the project's objectives, design preferences, functional requirements, and any specific challenges that need to be addressed.

    • The brief acts as a reference point throughout the project to ensure that the design aligns with the client's vision.

  • • At this stage, initial discussions regarding design concepts and themes may take place. Markian's team may present some initial ideas or mood boards to give the client a sense of the design direction.

    • The goal is to get the client's input and preferences to guide the development of the design concept in later phases.

  • • Depending on the project's nature and location, Markian ensures that all legal and regulatory requirements are addressed. This may involve permits, zoning regulations, and compliance with building codes.

    • Early identification of these considerations helps prevent delays and complications later in the project.

  • • Once the project scope, budget, and timeline are well-defined, Markian and the client formalize their agreement through a contract. This contract outlines the responsibilities, deliverables, and terms of engagement between both parties.

    • The client's approval and signature on the contract signal the official start of the project.

Research, Design & Presentation

Milestone 2

This represents a critical phase in any project, initiative, or project endeavour where a systematic approach is taken to gather information, conceptualise ideas, and communicate findings or proposals effectively. This multifaceted process encompasses three distinct stages:

Research: This is where we gather information and analyze data to gain insights and answer questions. It provides the knowledge needed for informed decision-making.

Design: In this stage, we turn the research into a structured plan. This can apply to various contexts and requires creativity, problem-solving, and a focus on aesthetics and functionality.

Presentation: Once research and design are complete, we effectively communicate findings or proposals to stakeholders through reports, presentations, or demonstrations. This step is vital for influencing decision-makers

  • Comprehensive Site Assessment:

    During this crucial step, Markian's team conducts a thorough evaluation of the project site. This assessment involves a multidisciplinary approach, considering architectural, structural, and environmental aspects. Key components of this process include:

    • Physical Inspection: Experts visit the project site to assess its current condition. They take precise measurements, examine existing structures, and note any unique architectural features or constraints.

    • Functional Analysis: Understanding how the space will be used is essential. The team evaluates the functional requirements and flow of the space, ensuring that the design aligns with the intended purpose and user needs.

    • Site Context: Markian considers the surrounding environment and context of the site. This may include views, natural light, neighboring structures, and landscape features that could influence the design.

    Technical Considerations: The assessment also takes into account technical aspects such as building codes, regulations, and safety standards. Any potential issues related to utilities, plumbing, or electrical systems are identified.

    Environmental Impact: Sustainability and environmental impact are important considerations. Markian explores opportunities for energy efficiency, material sustainability, and eco-friendly design solutions.

    Site Potential: By analysing the site's potential, Markian can identify opportunities for optimizing space usage and enhancing the overall design concept.

  • Detailed Design Development:

    In this phase, Markian's design team takes the information gathered from the site assessment and the client brief to begin the creative process of designing the interior space. Key aspects of this step include:

    • Conceptualisation: Based on the project's objectives and constraints, the team starts conceptualising the design. This includes generating ideas, exploring design themes, and developing a cohesive vision for the space.

    • Detailed Drawings: Detailed architectural drawings are created, including floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D models. These drawings provide a clear visual representation of the design concept and serve as a reference for contractors during implementation.

    • Material and Finish Selection: Materials, finishes, color palettes, and textures are carefully selected to align with the design concept and the client's preferences. This includes considerations for aesthetics, durability, and functionality.

    • Customisation: If required, Markian specialises in creating custom-designed furniture, fixtures, and finishes to add uniqueness and exclusivity to the project.

    • Collaboration: During this phase, collaboration with architects, engineers, and other specialists is essential to ensure that the design meets technical requirements and regulations.

  • Design Proposal Presentation:

    Markian believes in transparent communication with clients. In this step, the design proposals are presented to the client, providing them with a clear understanding of the project's scope, design concept, and associated costs. Key elements of this presentation include:

    • Design Presentation: The design team presents the detailed drawings, material selections, and visual representations of the proposed design. This presentation allows the client to visualise how their space will be transformed.

    • Cost Estimates: Markian provides the client with detailed cost estimates for the project. This includes itemised breakdowns of expenses, including materials, labor, and any custom design elements.

    • Deposit Requirements: The presentation also outlines any initial deposit requirements or payment schedules. This ensures that the client is aware of the financial commitments involved in the project.

    • Client Feedback: The client has the opportunity to provide feedback, ask questions, and request modifications if necessary. Markian values client input and works collaboratively to refine the design based on their preferences.

    These steps collectively form a critical phase in the interior design process, where the project transitions from conceptualisation to concrete design development, and the client gains a comprehensive understanding of the project's direction and financial implications. This phase sets the stage for the subsequent phases, including implementation and project realisation.
