ur Design Process

PROGRAMMING + FEASIBILITY

Programming is a deep-dive into the Clients’ personal aesthetic or brand image, with emphasis on functional goals & desired outcomes. Meanwhile, Feasibility is an exercise in aligning the design within the practical parameters of budget, time and regulatory limits.

AS-BUILT/NEW CONSTRUCTION PLANS

Whether we’re working on a new-build project, renovation or commercial tenant improvements, the process begins with a set of finished plans, reflecting architectural design intent and/or as-built conditions.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

Initial high-level design concepts are presented, conveying the spatial relationships, aesthetics, specialty design features and functions of a project. These schematics, paired with Client feedback, serve as the foundational framework for further development and fine-tuning.

DESIGN + DEVELOPMENT

The design is thoughtfully refined – through detailed design of millwork & specialty design element, ceiling features, lighting layouts, etc. Finishes & fixtures are carefully selected to create a curated, comprehensive plan for project implementation.

MEETINGS + COMMUNICATION

A typical project will include on-line and in-person Programming, Presentation and Coordination meetings. Throughout the design & construction process, we communicate closely with the Builders, Contractors, Suppliers, Consultants & our Clients.

CONTRACT DRAWINGS + SPECIFICATIONS

The approved design is clearly communicated for streamlined construction through a comprehensive and highly detailed Working Drawings + Specifications package.

PROJECT ADMIN

We remain available to the General Contractor/Builder throughout the Construction process to ensure the project adheres to design intent and quality standards.

3D RENDERING + COLOUR BOARD

Upon request, 3D renderings of key areas are prepared to help convey the form, scale, character & material relationship of the design. For our Builder/Developer clients, we can also prepare Color Boards (both digital & professional hard-surface) depicting key materials used in the design.

CONSULTING + CONSULTANT COORD.

As part of an integrated design approach, we are available to work with hired sub-consultants. For Commercial projects, we will collaborate with the Clients’ marketing team, graphic designers & signage mfg. to ensure the peripheral design-related decisions support the overall concept.

INTERIOR STYLING

Based on outlined requirements, we prepare functional & original Furniture Layout Plans for consideration. Next, we work with preferred suppliers, manufacturers & artisans to curate comfortable, layered and aesthetically discerning custom furniture & artwork packages which serve to reinforce the overall interior design concept.

PRICING + PROCUREMENT

Upon Furniture & Artwork selection approval, a detailed Source List is prepared. We then issue RFQ’s, prepare final budgets, manage procurement, order tracking, supplier communications and delivery coordination.

INSTALL + STAGING

Upon request, we’re available to facilitate order deliveries and supervise the installation on-site. We meticulously place artwork and coordinate hanging specifics. Accessory shopping services are also available, along with final on-site styling.

FAQ

As generalist designers, we work in a full gamut of design styles, individually attuned to our Clients’ personal tastes and/or brand. We’ve worked on a variety of projects from luxury log-homes, to lakeside cabins, to West-Coast contemporary and Mountain Modern residences and more. It’s the variety of design styles that keeps our artistry and passion for interior design fuelled. The only style we don’t currently practise in is Ultra-Traditional. Each Commercial project is tailored in order align the patrons experience of the space to the businesses’ brand image.

We want to ensure that each project receives a high level of attention and design momentum. We are extremely grateful for our Client’s support and have a queue of committed projects approx. 3-6 months in advance of their design kick-off dates. While we appreciate the fore-planning and patience, we also recognize that some projects may be fit into the schedule sooner, depending on their size and scope.

While we keep the wild creativity and inspiration bursts behind the scenes, we offer our Clients a distinctive linear approach to the design process. We begin with a deep-dive into Programming, then – armed with the context of our Clients’ wishes, requirement, thoughts and budget – we set off into Schematic Design. The design is further refined based on feedback and we delve into thorough Design Development and Presentation Meetings. Once the design is approved, a detailed Working Drawings + Specifications package is prepared and issued for review, pricing, permit and construction.

I have worked with Aleks on many projects through Style Developments, as well as personally. Compass brings a very high level of professionalism, and their end designs always surpass expectations.

We hired Aleks and Compass Design Co for a major house reno. We were super happy with the process, and the result. Aleks is extremely thorough and put a lot of thought into the design. We asked a lot of what is a small space – and she found a way to make it happen that is already working so much better for us (in addition to looking amazing). The contractors were impressed with the detail of her design plans, which made it much more straightforward for them to do the work. Aleks and her team were available for the entire process, and stepped up when we needed more input towards the end. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire a designer for a project as the result was so much better and the process much more efficient than anything we could have done ourselves…and I would 100% recommend Aleks and the Compass Design Co team.
