PROCESS

At Sebastian James Designs, every project begins with a conversation. We take the time to understand you, your site, and your vision, ensuring a clear and purposeful foundation for the design. We work with clients who value a dedicated and thorough design process and we take on only as many projects as we can deliver with our full attention and focus, allowing us to produce considered, high-quality outcomes.

We specialise in working with clients on new homes, renovations, and visitor accommodation buildings. Providing services across all scales of design from interiors, to landscapes, to the incorporation of bespoke art pieces.

DEFINING THE BRIEF

A well-defined brief is the foundation of good design. We work with you to clarify practical needs, aesthetic aspirations, and budget expectations, ensuring everything is aligned before design begins.

CONCEPT DESIGN

We explore spatial arrangements, materials, and how light and movement shape a space. Through discussion and visualization, we refine ideas to create a design that is both meaningful and buildable.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

As the design progresses, we refine technical details, material selections, and compliance with regulations. We prepare documentation for planning and building approvals, liaising with consultants to ensure a smooth transition to construction.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION & BUILDING APPROVAL

We develop clear and comprehensive working drawings, ensuring builders have everything they need to execute the project with accuracy and confidence.
