Notes on commissioning, planning and making interiors. Written to help you take the next step with a clearer brief.
A house plan becomes more useful when it starts with routines. Note where bags land, who cooks, how guests arrive, which rooms need quiet and what needs to be stored. These observations reveal connections a photograph cannot explain.
Arrival, waiting and the walk to the table set the tone. Test the layout as a first-time visitor: is the entrance clear, is waiting comfortable, and can conversations happen without competing with every other table?
Two proposals can describe very different appointments. Check whether surveys, design revisions, technical drawings, furniture, specialist consultants and site reviews are included. Record exclusions and who is responsible for them.
Choose one place for current drawings, comments and approvals. A short decision register should identify the item, the decision-maker and the date required. This prevents old drawings or disconnected messages from becoming instructions.
