Process
At Polina Radchenko Interiors, we follow a proven tailored process designed to ensure our client's vision is fully realised. We conduct a thorough investigation of the project site conditions, context and architectural design to ensure the interior fits seamlessly into the project context and surrounds. We ensure the brand and the demographic are well considered, and the level of detail and spec is discussed upfront.
When it comes to residential design, we go a long way to understand our clients' stylistic preferences and project precedents. We aim to understand their way of life and note any treasured possessions they wish to keep to ensure their new space is elegant and original yet suits their family needs and lifestyle beautifully.
1. Brief & Discovery
Once we are engaged on a project we will go through a briefing process. Clients are sent a questionnaire where we aim to establish their vision. If there is anything that requires special attention we will go through it with them. If there are no drawings of the existing conditions we will begin with a site measure and create a floor plan inhouse.
2. Concept
During concept design we will review the current interior and collaborate with the architect, builder and the project team. At the end of this phase we provide clients with the look and feel of their project using a selection of images, sketches and digital media.
3. Design Development
During this stage we will develop a three dimensional model for your project along with preliminary floor plans and key interior views to help you visualise the design. We will also make preliminary finishes and fixtures selections following your brief and review it with you in a design workshop.
4. Interior Documentation
Nothing will communicate the design intent to your project team better than a full set of interior documents including detailed joinery drawings, wet area details and a finishes, fixtures & equipment schedule. This set can be used for tender and construction process. If completed early in the process, it can also be used for initial pricing or become part of your build contract or finance approval.
5. Assistance During Construction Process
Where required, we can also provide the necessary assistance to get your project progressing through quoting and construction process. We liaise with trades and consultants, review shop drawings, and respond to queries as required. We schedule regular site appointments, and can additionally visit at your request.
6. Furniture Selection
Where required, we can assist our clients with furniture, lighting, accessories, artwork and window coverings’ selections. We will provide furniture layouts and recommend the pieces that will complement the interior space. We can also assist with the procurement of those items, place orders, procure furniture, accessories and artwork and oversee the delivery to ensure the space looks absolutely flawless.
