HOW WE WORK

OUR ADVISORY PROCESS

We provide clarity, coordination, and decision-making support.

Studio JKL’s advisory process is designed to guide projects smoothly from concept to completion. We focus on early resolution of key interior decisions, risk reduction, and clear coordination between all project stakeholders. Our approach ensures interiors are buildable, coordinated, and delivered efficiently.

FIRST STEP

Initial Consultation & Project Brief

Purpose: Define objectives, scope, priorities, and outcomes/ Understand how you live and define the direction of your home.

Activities:

  • Initial consultation call with project team or private client
  • In-depth lifestyle questionnaire and discussion of routines, frustrations, priorities and aspirations
  • Establish scope, project goals, budget parameters and timeline
  • Identify key decision points and potential risks

Outcome: A clear advisory roadmap tailored to the project.

  • Advise on spatial planning, circulation and functionality refinement and layout development
  • Early review of kitchens, bathrooms, and bespoke joinery
  • Alignment with architectural intent
