01 / The decision
Choose the process before the palette.
A villa of this scale needs more than a look. Ask each studio how it turns the brief into a workable design, coordinates with architects and trades, manages purchasing and follows installation through to the final room.
Request examples that match your project’s stage: a new build, a full renovation or a focused furnishing programme.
01
Define the scope
Agree whether you need architecture coordination, interior architecture, finishes, lighting, furniture, styling or all of them.
02
Review comparable work
Look at complete projects, not only moodboards. Ask what the studio delivered and which partners were involved.
03
Understand procurement
Clarify specifications, samples, lead times, approvals, delivery, storage and what happens when an item changes.
04
Set decision points
Agree who signs off each stage, the fee structure, a reporting rhythm and how site queries are resolved.
