Direction
A strategic beginning
Direction is a focused, two-hour consultation for homeowners who need clarity before committing to a renovation.
Together, we consider how your home currently works, what needs to change and where the strongest opportunities lie, so you can approach the decisions ahead with confidence.
Outcome
You leave knowing what your home needs, what is possible, and which decisions to make before committing to the renovation.
-
Clients at the very beginning.
Direction is for homeowners at the very beginning of a renovation, before the scope, design direction or major project decisions have been locked in.
It is suited to people who want an expert perspective on what their home needs, what should change, what may be worth keeping and where to focus their investment.
Direction is not detailed design. It is not intended for clients who need developed layouts, material selections, construction documentation or builder-ready information.

01. Pre-Session Discovery
Before we meet, you’ll complete a questionnaire covering your property, renovation goals, current frustrations, lifestyle requirements, preferences and key concerns.
02. Design Strategy Session
During the two-hour in-home session, we work through three areas:
Home & Lifestyle Assessment
Walkthrough of the existing property
Discussion of how they currently live, risks and opportunities
Future needs
Priorities
Design Direction
Overall vision for the home
Initial aesthetic direction
What the home should feel like
Renovation Guidance

Following the session, you’ll receive a concise Direction Folio covering:
Project objectives

Recommended next steps
Direction does not include developed concepts, detailed layouts, material selections, documentation or builder-ready information. These belong to the design stages that may follow.
