Our approach
Laying the foundation for a successful project
At Maison Libre, we believe every successful project begins with a solid foundation. During the consultation phase, we carefully explore your wishes, opportunities, and challenges together, ensuring a well-prepared and strategic start.
What can you expect from us?
Vision and goals: We define your vision, objectives, and expectations together to achieve a result that truly aligns with your ambitions.
Location analysis: We assess the opportunities and limitations of the site, ensuring every design decision responds to its architectural and spatial context.
User needs: We explore the requirements and desires of the end users, creating spaces that are both functional and inspiring.
Feasibility study: We evaluate both financial and technical feasibility to ensure a realistic, smooth, and well-structured process.
Identity and branding: We develop a distinctive visual identity that reflects your brand and strengthens its presence within the space.
With these insights, we lay the groundwork for a project that is not only carefully considered, but also successful in its execution and final outcome.
Sketch design
From idea to a compelling concept
In the initial phase, we bring your vision to life by translating it into a clear and visually compelling concept. This makes your ideas tangible and supports confident, well-informed decision-making.
What can you expect?
Concept presentation: We present a refined design concept that aligns seamlessly with your wishes and the insights gathered in the earlier phase.
Layout studies: We develop and evaluate multiple layout options to identify the most effective use of space.
3D sketches: Realistic visualizations provide a clear and detailed impression of the proposed design.
Initial budget estimate: We provide a preliminary cost estimate to ensure the project remains aligned with the desired financial framework.
This phase establishes the clarity and direction needed to confidently move forward and bring the vision to life.
Final design
From vision to workable reality
In Phase 3, we refine the design into a final plan, in which every detail is carefully developed and the foundation for execution is fully established.
What can you expect?
Final floor plans: Clear and precise layouts that ensure optimal use of the space.
Lighting plan & elevations: Detailed lighting designs and spatial elevations, carefully tailored to the desired atmosphere and functionality.
Furniture selection: Final selections and placement of furniture, including bespoke pieces that align seamlessly with your design vision.
3D renderings: Highly detailed visualizations that realistically portray the final result and bring the concept to life.
Material samples: Tactile samples of colors, fabrics, and finishes, allowing you to experience the design in a tangible way.
With the final design complete, all decisions are finalized and the project is ready for execution.
Preliminary design
From concept to detailed execution
In the second phase, we further refine the concept into a detailed preliminary design. Here, layout, atmosphere, and an accurate cost estimate come together—ensuring the design is not only visually compelling, but also practical and financially well grounded.
What can you expect?
Layout: A carefully considered design that optimizes spatial flow and ensures efficient use of the space.
Lighting plan: A strategic lighting design that balances atmosphere and functionality, tailored to the character of the space.
Furniture plan & dimensioning: The selection and precise placement of furniture, including bespoke solutions that align seamlessly with your requirements.
3D SketchUp model & visualizations: Realistic renderings that bring the design to life and provide a clear understanding of the final result.
Budget estimate: An updated cost overview that ensures transparency and confirms the feasibility of the project.
This phase results in a tangible and well-structured plan, translating vision into a workable design ready for the next stage.
Execution
From design to perfection
In the final phase, we guide the realization of your project down to the smallest detail. We ensure that the design is executed exactly as intended, delivering a final result that fully meets—and often exceeds—your expectations.
What can you expect?
Detail adjustments: Final refinements and optimizations to ensure every element is perfectly aligned.
Site visits: Regular on-site monitoring and coordination to ensure smooth progress and faithful execution of the design.
Signage: Guidance on lettering and visual branding, ensuring the space strengthens and reflects your brand identity.
Styling plan: Expert advice on furnishing and finishing touches to create the desired atmosphere and overall experience.
Purchasing support: Assistance in selecting and sourcing furniture and materials that align seamlessly with the design vision.
Custom work review: Careful evaluation of bespoke furniture and installations to guarantee exceptional quality and precision.
With our guidance, we ensure a seamless transition from design to realization—where every detail is executed with care and the final result reflects the original vision in full.
