Aiming to build quiet luxury aesthetic, after the kick-off meeting, our team of interior designers in Hong Kong will start the “Concept Design” phase. In concept design, based on your provided architectural plans or building layout plan from the property developer, our team of interior designers will work on a scaled floor plan showing the spatial arrangement of your project. A mood board together with proposed material, furniture, lighting fixture, bathroom and kitchen concept will also be prepared by our interior designers in Hong Kong. Emulating quiet luxury concept, the interior design layout and mood board will then be presented to you in a concept design meeting. Once all details are confirmed, our interior design Hong Kong team will move forward to the “Design Development” phase.

Building toward the quiet luxury interior experience, with the confirmed concept design, an overall space arrangement, concept mood and material are identified to frame the interior design direction. Our team of interior designers in Hong Kong will move into the “Design Development” phase.
In this interior design Hong Kong phase, all major elevation drawings of your project will be made available, together with the ceiling design also showing lighting arrangement, the electrical plan indicating automation control, the bathroom design and kitchen cabinet drawings will be put together in a presentation for you. During this phase for interior design Hong Kong projects, 3D renderings and/or 360-degree virtual tours will be shown to help you better visualize the quiet luxury and elegance of your design.
Most of the decisions regarding your personal preference that align with your lifestyle will be finalized in this design development phase. Once this is done, the rest of the phases will be mostly the drawing work from the team of interior designers and the contractor’s onsite work.

Construction Documentation is a very important phase for achieving quiet luxury design results. With you as a client of our interior design company, most work is done while wrapping up the design development phase. In order for the contractor in Hong Kong to give you a detailed construction quotation, our team of interior designers will need to prepare a set of technical construction documentation including all layout plans, elevation drawings, detailed drawings for all built-in cabinets and fixtures. A full set of FF&E specifications (referring to the detailed documentation outlining the requirements for Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment in a project) will also be made available by our interior designers for the contractor’s pricing and procurement actions.
At the end of this phase, the pricing of your project will be ready for review. Keeping the quiet luxury design results in mind, our team of interior designers in Hong Kong will refine the proposed design and/or building materials to fit within your preferred interior design budget.

To find a reliable contractor with reasonable price, for larger scale interior design Hong Kong projects especially for quiet luxury desgin, we will recommend clients to go through a tender process by getting quotations from 3 contracting companies. Based on the construction documentation package prepared by our team of interior designers, contracting companies joining the tender will be able to provide accurate pricing. Some corporate clients may want to hire a Quantity Surveyor to provide the Bill of Quantity for tendering contractors.
The tendering process for any interior design HK project will normally take 4 to 6 weeks. If time is of the essence, the client can omit this stage and get pricing directly from a recommended contractor with good working synergy with our interior designer team.

It takes lots of passion and effort to complete a quiet luxury interior design project, and we will help the client to bring the design concept to life through the whole process. Upon the confirmation of the construction company, the design administration phase begins. A few key milestones should be noted during this interior design administration phase:
Site setting out done by a contractor is normally required by our interior designers. The site setting out is important to visualize all dimensions on the floor plan. Ceiling height and major fixtures dimensions will also be shown with setting out on the wall. Our interior designer in HK will conduct a walk-through with the contracting team to comment and/or refine dimensions.
Electrical arrangement including sockets and switch locations will also be indicated on site by the contractor. Some interior design clients are very specific about electrical arrangements and this is a good time to review and comment on site with our interior designer team and the contractor.
Shop drawing preparation will be done by the contractor at the early stage of construction. The shop drawings will be reviewed by our interior designer team, to refine any details per site conditions. The review of shop drawings will also be crucial for contractors to confirm manufacturing methods with our interior designers in HK before placing orders with the factory.
In achieving true quiet luxury fitting out results, we are an interior design company that insists on reviewing all material submitted by contractors. This step is important to ensure all specified items in the interior design package are followed by the contractor. Any replacement material should also be submitted for approval.
Since quiet luxury details are specific and important, mockup submission by contractor is also important for interior design Hong Kong projects. We are an interior design company that specializes in clean and refined moulding designs. For some house projects, metal balustrade is also designed for those specific projects. To ensure the design profile is produced correctly, the mockup must be approved by our interior designers HK team.

For any interior design project, prices vary depending on the design details and specifications. For example, a faucet can cost HK$500 to HK$20,000, while the price for laminate flooring and hardwood flooring can have a x10 times spread. When considering the interior design Hong Kong construction costs, our team of interior designers will help to select the specifications that align best with your preferred price range, while maintaining the quiet luxury design results.
In Hong Kong, the cost of interior design construction typically ranges from HK$1,000 to HK$5,000 per square foot. The final cost can vary significantly depending on factors like the size and age of the property, the complexity of the design, the quality of materials used, and the interior design company’s as well as construction company’s experience. Our team of interior designers works with reliable suppliers that provide good quality workmanship that aligns with our own design philosophy. To get an estimation of the cost of your construction, we can help clients refer to past completed interior design projects by our company with similar scope as general reference. The final, detailed cost will be readied by the tendering contractor after receiving the construction documentation.

Hidden construction such as E&M arrangement is a key factor in achieving quiet luxury interiors. Depending on the complexity of the interior design scope and the age of your property, we work with renowned consultants providing expertise in E&M, lighting design, exterior window design, security door design, main gate design as well as safe room design.
Our team of interior designers in Hong Kong also work closely with APs (Authorized Person for government submissions), E&M consultants, structural consultants as well as landscape consultants.
Before finalizing the conceptual interior design for your project, we will help you identify whether there is a need for assembling a team of other external consultants.
