There are a tonne of intricate details in this design for Zizzi by Scardigno Design. Coordinating all these details to produce the restaurant you see above would have required great teamwork between the General Contractor and Interior Designer during construction. Are you gearing up to tackle a commercial interior design project for your business? If this is your first experience working with a Registered Interior Designer it is beneficial for you to understand our design process and the amount of work it takes to ensure that the end result is something that all parties are happy with. Our previous two…
Ronen Levin design studio must have followed the typical interior design process to achieve this outstanding and beautifully detailed project for LovEat coffee shop. Unless you’ve worked with a professional interior designer before, you may not realize how much work is actually invested into a successful business renovation or tenant improvement project. It’s not uncommon for business owners to seek out the help of an interior designer only to receive a fee proposal that, on first glance, may seem higher than originally anticipated. In our experience, once that potential client reads through the scope of work, it becomes clear that…
You might feel like planning isn't fun, but you know what is? Having a space that looks like this because you did plan. Kudos to Grosu Art Studio for their trailblazing design concept pictured above; we know pulling this off takes planning. Have you ever wondered about the interior design process for a commercial project? What is involved and what steps your interior designer takes to help deliver a killer project to you when all is said and done? We bet it’s more than you think! Read on to learn about how we at Hatch Interior Design approach your project.
A restaurant has many very specific equipment needs that the requirement for a commercial kitchen consultant is obvious. We wonder if AvroKo also brought on a lighting consultant here to ensure desired lighting levels were achieved when designing Omido pictured above. We know commercial interior design. We know it well and love the challenge of tackling a new project, learning about the brand and functional requirements and translating these into a unique and thoughtful design that tells your clients and customers who you are as a business. But, when it gets down to the knitty gritty it often makes sense…
Find out how interior design firms like SSDG design millwork and achieve beautiful commercial spaces like iQumetrix fabricated and installed by Wanes Custom Woodworks (pictured above). If we had to select one trade that can really make or break our commercial interior design projects, hands down it would have to be the millworker. At Hatch Interior Design we pride ourselves on offering custom millwork designs - big-city solutions - to our clients so, most often the millwork portion of our designs are extremely detailed. Experienced, qualified custom woodwork shops are essential in the development of detailed, bespoke millwork pieces. Not…
The office of Aeria Games by Lindemann Projektnet exhibits ultimate harmony and unity; probably a refreshing and welcomed environment for employees of a colourful and interactive online game site. We have come to our last post on the principles of interior design; harmony and unity. Our two series of blog entries on the elements and principles of design introduce you to the fundamental guiding forces that may be incorporated into the design of your commercial interior. If you missed our previous series on the elements of design (line, colour, texture & pattern, light, and scale & proportion), or our first…
Here is a less obvious example of emphasis in design. Interior design firm Geremia used really heavy, dark stools contrasting with a lighter surrounding to make the counter a focal point in Citizens B Restaurant. If you read our blog you know that we have already touched on all the elements of design (line, colour, texture & pattern, light, and scale & proportion) as well as two of the principals of design (balance and rhythm). This week we’re moving on to emphasis, probably one of the most well-used design principals. Two of the questions we always ask our clients during…
Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture created rhythm in this dance hall by repeating a pattern of mirrors. Our last blog post introduced the principles of design with a focus on balance. This post will focus on another principle of interior design, rhythm. Rhythm can be thought of as a pattern in movement. You can hear it in varied sounds to create music or in the steady drip of a faucet. It can also be seen; think about lines in the sidewalk and how your footsteps relate to the regular breaks. Rhythm can be seen and heard throughout nature and in our built…
Balance is everything in design. Everything just feels right when a space is as well-balanced as the one above designed by BBG-BBGM. Principles of interior design are achieved through the application of the elements of design. Unsure of what the elements of design are? We’ve got you covered; check out our previous blog series in which we provided an introduction to line, colour, texture and pattern, light, and scale and proportion. As interior designers we have become quite adept in applying both the elements and principles of design to our commercial projects to create interesting spaces that help to reinforce…
