Home Assessment
Kate evaluates your living space and identifies potential areas for improvement. She assesses walls, flooring, ceilings, fixtures, and furnishings to determine if any repairs or updates are needed.
Pillar Interiors provides a detailed report of these findings, and a prioritized "to-do" list. This report helps us understand and address each priority in a structured and orderly manner.
Interior Space Planning
Pillar Interiors arranges your home’s interior spaces for functionality, flow, and aesthetics. Kate considers how each area will be used and places your furniture, fixtures, and equipment to support the intended activities in each space, from cooking and dining, to working, relaxing, and playing.
Fixture and Finish Specification
Pillar chooses and documents the fixed elements and surface treatments that will be used in your space. These items include both permanent and semi-permanent components such as flooring, wall treatments, light fixtures, plumbing, cabinetry, etc. By specifying fixtures and finishes, Kate will create a clear, detailed plan that guides contractors and ensures that the final space lives up to your vision and functional requirements.
Schematic Design
Early in the process, Kate will guide you in establishing foundational ideas and concepts for your project’s design and layout. Based on project requirements, site conditions, and your input, a Pillar Interiors schematic design provides a clear framework for detailed design work later.
Design Development
Your project’s initial concepts will be developed into refined, detailed plans with specifications for implementation. Kate will finalize the exact products and materials to be used, ensuring they align with the design vision and budget.
Procurement and Installation
Once you have approved all specifications, Pillar Interiors brings the plan to fruition. Kate will source every element and track all orders, deliveries, and shipments. She will also coordinate with suppliers for timely and proper delivery, and manage any delays or issues. Upon delivery, Kate inspects items and promptly addresses any discrepancies or damages. Appropriate storage is arranged if items are delivered before they are needed on-site.
Kate will also develop an installation schedule that cooperates with the timelines of any contractors also involved in the project. Finally, Kate oversees the on-site installation. All furniture, fixtures, artwork, and other elements will be installed correctly and securely according to the design plan.
Organizational Plans
For clients whose top priority is maximizing their space’s functionality and efficiency, Pillar Designs offers organizational plans. These plans optimize every cabinet, drawer, closet, and storage area.
Kate will assess your organizational needs, how you use the space, what items need to be stored, and any particular challenges you face with organization. Next, she will create a custom organizational solution and a plan for how to store your items for accessibility and efficiency.
Custom Drawings
These visual representations of your design include floor plans, elevations, and sections, so you can grasp the spatial layout and structure. You’ll enjoy detailed renderings of bespoke elements like cabinetry. Serving as tangible roadmaps for implementation, these drawings facilitate communication between designers, clients, and contractors, ensuring precise realization of the design vision.
