1-Concept Development

  • Research and Analysis: Start with understanding the client’s needs, lifestyle, or brand if it’s for a business space.
  • Mood Board Creation: Develop a board with images, colors, materials, and textures to visualize the overall feel.
  • Concept Sketches: Create quick sketches to visualize the layout and mood based on the initial ideas and inspiration.

2-Planning and Layout Design

  • Functional Zoning: Divide the area into zones based on functionality (living, dining, work, etc.).
  • Furniture Arrangement: Plan furniture placement to ensure flow, ergonomics, and proper space usage.
  • Technical Requirements: Account for HVAC, lighting, electrical, and plumbing needs in the layout.

3. Define Lighting Layers

  • 3D Model Creation: Use software like SketchUp, AutoCAD, or Revit to create a 3D model of the space.
  • Material and Texture Application: Add materials, textures, and colors to surfaces to reflect the intended design.
  • Rendering: Generate realistic renderings to showcase lighting, shadows, and material reflections, which help in visualizing the final outcome.

4. Fixture Selection and Layout

  • Choose Fixture Styles: Select fixtures that complement the interior design style (modern, traditional, minimalist, etc.) and create a cohesive look throughout the space.
  • Select Bulbs: Decide on the type (LED, incandescent, fluorescent) and color temperature (warm, cool, daylight) to set the desired mood. Energy efficiency and bulb lifespan should also be considered.
  • Plan Placement: Determine the optimal position for each fixture to avoid dark spots, minimize glare, and ensure that light reaches where it’s needed. Consider light layering for a balanced distribution.

5. Lighting Control Systems

  • Dimmers: Incorporate dimmer switches to adjust light levels according to different needs and moods, enhancing flexibility.
  • Smart Lighting: Integrate smart lighting systems that allow remote control, scheduling, and color adjustments through mobile apps or voice-activated devices.
  • Zoning and Switching: Plan zones so that lights in specific areas can be switched independently, providing control over different lighting scenarios.

6-Review and Refinement

  • Client Feedback: Present the design to the client for feedback and make adjustments if needed.
  • Final Adjustments: Refine the model, make any necessary revisions, and update all documentation.
  • Â

7-Implementation and Project Supervision

  • Model Execution: Work closely with contractors, ensuring that the actual build aligns with the model.
  • Site Visits and Quality Control: Regularly check on-site work to ensure alignment with the design vision and standards

8-Review and Refinement

  • Client Feedback: Present the design to the client for feedback and make adjustments if needed.
  • Final Adjustments: Refine the model, make any necessary revisions, and update all documentation.
