WHY CHOOSE US
The concept serves as a guide for the future design. It reflects the overall layout, style, colours, shapes, and textures. To create a concept, we conduct an in-depth interview with you. We learn about your needs, values, habits, and preferences and use them as our foundation. If you wish, you can even request several concepts before making a final decision.
We believe space should serve you, so we provide residential design services that consider your needs, habits, and values. If you have a vision, we’ll help you develop it. If your idea is still taking shape, we’ll ask the right questions to flesh it out. The result will be a design that you like and that serves as a clear roadmap for your builders.
Visualising a space is the best way to determine if a design works for you. You can see how objects in the room relate, sense the atmosphere, and spot any changes you’d like to make. For commercial interior design, 3D and VR virtual tours can be a game changer, helping win the customers’ attention.
If your space needs something unique, we offer turnkey custom millwork services. We take measurements, design, manufacture, and install the millwork in your home. Our specialists work with equipment using laser technology and computer numerical control, ensuring furniture that fits to the millimetre. We use only certified and safe wood and finishing materials.
Our FF&E Package includes selecting, purchasing, and delivering furniture, fixtures, and equipment for private homes and commercial spaces like hotels or restaurants. If you wish, accessories such as rugs or artwork will also be included. We can work with your interior design and specifications or create them for you from scratch.
We source furniture from local and international manufacturers and work with ready-made and custom pieces. Better yet, you can typically save 30–50% off retail prices through our direct manufacturer relationships and special discounts.
If implementing your interior design requires significant changes to the house, you may need construction documentation services. We prepare architectural and structural documentation, HVAC, plumbing and piping drawings, and more. We treat these as a roadmap for your contractor, so they’re detailed, easy to follow, and compliant with building codes.
We recommend getting a construction estimate to stay within budget when developing your project. This document lists all required materials and services, including the cost of materials, equipment, labour, contractor’s profit, and contingencies. Our residential designers can also advise you on sourcing materials or handle procurement for you.
Your construction project runs more smoothly and without overruns with a proper schedule. Based on your space’s specifics, we’ll create an efficient task flow that optimizes both time and money. For example, we’ll ensure you make the best use of rented equipment and tools and coordinate parallel work whenever possible.
When it’s time to bring the residential interior design to life, you might want someone to coordinate the construction. We can take care of site visits, countless phone calls and keep in touch with contractors, freeing you from these responsibilities. Our coordinator monitors schedules and coordinates contractors, ensuring your project stays on track.
If you need a professional to oversee multiple facilities, construction project management is the perfect choice. These services are ideal for developers creating showrooms in various locations. We help coordinate multiple projects, manage related documentation, handle financial reporting, staffing, and more.
If your premises have special requirements, we can help. We work with structural safety, fire safety, accessibility, zoning and land use, health and hygiene compliance, and more. We’ll support you throughout all stages, from creating relevant interior designs to implementation and obtaining permits.
If your interior design involves major alterations, such as adding a garage or balcony or changing plumbing routes, you’ll need building permits. The process involves submitting an application and a pile of documents to the local authority and awaiting a decision for up to several months. We can assist you in applying for a permit correctly on your behalf, helping you get it quicker.
Once your residential interior design concept is approved, the Design Development phase transforms ideas into clear, buildable details. This is where materials, finishes, lighting, millwork, and furniture selections take shape through refined drawings and realistic visuals. We translate your preferences into cohesive palettes, develop technical details, and ensure every element works both aesthetically and functionally. Our team coordinates with engineers, consultants, and vendors early to prevent conflicts later in construction. By the end of this phase, you have a fully detailed design package that carries your vision forward with precision and confidence.
OUR DESIGN APPROACH
Branding and Identity Focused
The spaces we design reflect your brand, namely, its character, values, and goals. Colour schemes and shapes, door handles, power outlets, every detail is aligned with your brand identity. We’ll create the atmosphere to match your vision, whatever your goal is, an office’s vibrant energy or a spa’s calming atmosphere.
User-Centered Design
When it comes to user-centered design, we study a whole array of items, including their habits, behaviours, and working styles, to match expectations. For office space design we consider whether people work solo or in teams or how often they attend meetings. For retail stores, we analyze customer flow, from the entrance to the cash register, all to create spaces that draw people in.
Sustainability and Green Design
At Ark & Mason we strive to minimize our impact on the environment. Wherever possible, we offer our clients energy-efficient solutions, renewable materials, and water- and light-saving systems. We believe that great design should respect nature, and we help you integrate modern technologies that benefit your business and the planet.
