Study Notes
The Design Process
- The design process is a crucial tool for interior designers and architects
- It's about creating real solutions for client needs, rather than just reflecting the designer's personal taste.
- The process involves several phases, starting with pre-design and progressing through programming, schematic design, design development, contract documentation, construction administration, and finally, move-in and post-occupancy.
Pre-design Phase
- Designers interview clients to understand their needs.
- If the designer's skills match and the client agrees, a contract is signed, and the formal interior design process begins; otherwise, they part ways.
Phase 1: Programming
- This phase focuses on understanding the client's situation and needs.
- Questions about the space's function, who will use it, and furniture/equipment requirements are addressed.
- Measurements and photos are taken.
Phase 2: Schematic Design
- Space planning and furniture layouts are developed in this phase.
- Circulation patterns and minimum clearances are considered.
- Rough sketches and elevations are created.
- Preliminary furniture and finish ideas are presented to the client for review and revision.
Phase 3: Design Development
- Once the schematic design is finalized, detailed floor plans and elevations are produced.
- Colors, finishes, furniture, fabrics, and equipment are selected, and cost estimates are prepared.
- The final design is presented to the client for review, revision, and final approval.
Phase 4: Contract Documents
- Specific details of the work, including millwork specifications, finish selections, lighting plans, and fixture selections, are all documented.
- Plumbing and electrical layouts are detailed in the plan.
- This phase involves obtaining bids, selecting contractors, and issuing purchase orders.
Phase 5: Contract Administration
- This is the final stage where things are built and installed
- Designers are often onsite during installation to ensure quality, proper installation, and adherence to the documents.
Phase 6: Move-in & Post-Occupancy
- Clients schedule a move-in date.
- They are also asked to evaluate the design process and provide feedback.
Final Thoughts
- This entire process is invaluable to interior design and interior architecture professions.
- Designers should focus on real client needs, rather than personal taste or preferences.
- The continuous feedback and iteration throughout the design process ensures that the solutions meet the clients' real needs.
