Introduction

What’s your favorite spot in your home? What does a typical day look like for you? What brings you happiness?

Whether you’re a private or business client, many new interior and architectural projects begin with an extensive introduction at our studio in Nijmegen. During this meeting, we dive deeper into your living situation and map out all your wishes and expectations.

We take the time to show you what you can expect from us. Our work doesn’t stop at the design phase; we also guide you through the entire construction or renovation process. We’ll be by your side, helping you with every decision you need to make during this exciting journey, ensuring you’re fully supported.

After our conversation, we’ll prepare a proposal tailored to your specific needs.

Do you have renovation plans? You can also opt for a customized consultation. During a meeting with architect and interior designer Bob Romijnders, all your wishes will be thoroughly discussed. Additionally, he’ll create an initial conceptual design, giving you a clear impression of the possibilities for your project. Would you like to know more about this option? Don’t hesitate to contact us.

Your expectations

When there is a connection between you as the client and the (interior) architects from our studio, and we have the privilege to start working on your project, we delve deeper into the previously discussed preferences. We share inspirational images to gain a clearer understanding of your taste and style. Based on this, we can create a concept that perfectly aligns with your aesthetic preferences and the desired ambiance.

Additionally, we research the laws and regulations to provide you with a clear and realistic picture of the possibilities and limitations regarding the construction or renovation. We also further explore your specific wishes and expectations.

If you plan to renovate, we’ll schedule a visit to take precise measurements of your home. These measurements will be incorporated into detailed drawings of the existing situation, which will serve as the foundation for the new design

Design concept

After all aspects have been discussed and we have gathered the necessary measurements and data, our architect or interior designer will begin working on the concept design, where your preferences, ideas, and our expertise come together. Our design process always starts from the inside out. This means we first consider the functional layout of the spaces and how they can seamlessly connect with one another.

We analyze how you move through the home, how different spaces are interconnected, and where natural pathways might lie. Particular attention is given to light; the way daylight flows through the space plays a crucial role in creating a pleasant and comfortable environment. This applies to both natural and artificial lighting, as it significantly impacts the atmosphere and functionality of a space. Sightlines are also carefully considered, as are color and material choices.

Every detail must align, and each element is of great importance to us, as we believe it is the sum of all these parts that makes a home unique and personal.

Ultimately, our focus is on creating a cohesive, harmonious whole that is not only aesthetically appealing but also perfectly tailored to your daily needs and lifestyle

Our design approach

Our starting point in design is always functionality, but we look beyond that. We believe that a building must first and foremost be logically structured and comfortably habitable. From this foundation, we strive to perfect the aesthetics of the building. This involves creating harmony between form and function. Our goal is to deliver a design that exceeds all your expectations, both practically and aesthetically.

Before presenting the design to you, we discuss it within our team. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that the design is already at a highly refined stage when we present it to you.

Following our internal discussions, we present the concept design to you, including our proposal for the selected materials.

Final design

After receiving your approval, we arrange for a construction cost estimate to be prepared. This provides us with insight into the feasibility of the plan and whether adjustments to the design are necessary. Following this step, we proceed to develop the final design. This is a critical phase in which we refine all details and determine the ultimate appearance of the project. Everything is given a definitive character, and the final design is drafted in detailed drawings.

If required, we submit the design for review by the municipal aesthetic advisory committee to ensure that it complies with local building regulations.

Technical design

Once the final design is complete, we develop the plan into a technical design and prepare for the environmental permit application. Structural calculations are outsourced to an engineer, resulting in detailed drawings, including floor plans, elevations, foundations, floors, roof structures, drainage, and architectural cross-sections. We also provide the necessary visual details and associated calculations required for the environmental permit.

We handle the application forms and all essential documents for the environmental permit.

In addition, we review the building with you to finalize the finishes and materials. Material samples are provided to give a clear impression of the building’s appearance.

If desired, we can also prepare a technical specification, providing a comprehensive description of the materials and tasks required to execute the project.

Construction/renovation

During the design phase, we are happy to assist you with the tender process. Once the contractor is selected and construction begins, we remain closely involved in the process. We monitor both the quality and the aesthetic principles, working together with the contractor as one team.

Building should be an enjoyable experience, and we are committed to ensuring the process runs smoothly from start to finish.
