This page contains answers to the most frequently asked questions about the scope of services, the way we collaborate, the project workflow, the investment framework, and the start of the project. The questions are organized into sections so you can easily find what interests you.
Collaboration Overview
What does a full interior design service include?
A full interior design service covers all key phases required to develop a space from the initial idea to a fully detailed and implementable project. This includes analyzing the space and project parameters, concept development, space planning, visual and technical design development, selection of materials and furnishings, as well as professional support during the execution phase within the scope of the designer’s responsibility. The goal of this approach is to ensure a space that is functionally well thought out, aesthetically cohesive, technically refined, and valuable in the long term.
Is support during the implementation phase included in the base service?
Yes. A full interior design service includes professional support during the implementation phase in an advisory capacity. This involves providing occasional expert guidance to the client throughout execution, as well as clarifying design solutions and decisions within the scope of the designer’s responsibility.
What is construction supervision and professional coordination?
Construction supervision and professional coordination are separate, optional services that represent an extended level of involvement during the project’s implementation phase. Their purpose is to ensure continuity between the design documentation and the executed space, while providing the client with a higher level of professional support throughout the construction process.
What is the difference between implementation support and construction supervision?
Implementation support is included in the base service and refers to advisory assistance and clarification of design solutions. Construction supervision and professional coordination, on the other hand, are additional services representing an extended level of involvement. These may include periodic site visits, interpreting documentation for contractors, recommending contractors, coordinating details between trades, participating in meetings, and maintaining more continuous communication throughout the construction process.
Does construction supervision include site management or statutory supervision?
No. This service does not include site management, statutory construction supervision, or assuming responsibility for contractors’ deadlines.
Who is your approach intended for?
Our approach is designed for clients who view interior design as a long-term investment in the quality of their space, lifestyle, and overall property value. This includes private investors, owners of hospitality properties, and developers who prioritize high-quality execution, responsible budget management, and market-relevant design.
In which parts of Croatia do you operate?
We operate throughout Croatia, with a focus on Istria, Zagreb, and Dalmatia. Depending on the location, project type, and scope of engagement, collaboration is organized through a combination of on-site visits and structured remote communication.
What does remote collaboration look like?
Remote collaboration is organized through clearly defined phases, online meetings, document exchange, and predetermined decision points. When the project requires, this model is supplemented with on-site visits.
Do you also work on outdoor spaces?
Yes. As part of a full project, we develop corresponding outdoor spaces when needed, ensuring the entire property functions as a cohesive whole.
How does your approach differ from traditional “interior styling”?
Our focus is not on quickly decorating a space, but on a clear concept, functional organization, technical detailing, and a responsible approach to investment. While aesthetics are important, feasibility, durability, and the overall value of the space are equally prioritized.
Do you only provide a conceptual design?
We primarily work on comprehensive projects. The conceptual phase is an important starting point, but on its own, it is not sufficient for high-quality, controlled implementation. Therefore, the project is further developed through technical detailing, making feasible decisions, and providing professional support during execution.
Do you offer only 3D visualizations?
No. 3D visualizations are not a standalone service but part of a comprehensive project. Their purpose is to help the client better understand the space and design solutions, and to ensure the project develops safely before execution. In development and investment projects, visualizations also serve a broader role—as a high-quality tool for project presentation, communicating spatial standards, and supporting sales activities.
Do you only create furniture layouts, minor alterations, or individual rooms?
Primarily, we do not take on smaller, partial tasks such as standalone furniture layouts, minor individual alterations, or isolated decorative interventions. Our focus is on comprehensive projects that require clear spatial logic, detailed development, and responsible process management.
Do you offer partial services or mainly comprehensive projects
We primarily work on comprehensive projects. This approach ensures that the space is thoughtfully planned, cohesive, and fully developed as a whole, rather than being addressed through a series of separate, disconnected decisions.
Types of Projects
What types of projects do you work on?
We work on residential projects, hospitality properties, and development projects. This includes houses, villas, apartments, vacation homes, hospitality spaces, and projects aimed at the market and sales. Our focus is on projects that require a comprehensive approach, clear spatial organization, and high-quality development through all project phases.
Do you work on short-term rental or vacation rental projects?
Yes. For tourism-related projects, we approach design both from the perspective of the guest experience and the market logic of the space. Key considerations include the impression it leaves, functional usability, material durability, and overall return on investment.
Do you work with developers and investors?
Yes. We view these projects as a combination of design, market positioning, and investment responsibility. They require clearly defined spatial standards, efficient budget management, marketable appeal, and a high-quality final impression.
Is your approach suitable for apartments or houses being prepared for sale?
Yes, when the goal is to increase the property’s market relevance and achieve a clear, high-quality, and consistent spatial standard. In such projects, it is especially important to define the level of furnishings, control investments, and design spaces with broad market appeal.
Do you work on new constructions, shell-and-core projects, renovations, and reconstructions?
Yes. We handle projects at various stages—from new construction and shell-and-core to adaptations, renovations, and reconstructions—whenever they align with a logic of a comprehensive and well-managed project.
Why does it make sense to engage you for renovations, reconstructions, or other complex interventions?
These projects often involve more constraints, more open questions, and a higher risk of improvisation during execution. That is precisely why a well-developed project and clear detailing become even more critical. Our involvement ensures better spatial organization, timely decision-making, and a safer, more transparent process with greater control over the final outcome.
Pricing and Investment Framework
How much does a full interior design service cost?
The cost of a full interior design service is determined by the size of the space, the complexity of the project, and its scope. Indicative rates range from €50 to €60 per m², depending on the area, while projects larger than 300 m² are priced individually. Published prices include VAT.
What is included in the price of a full interior design service?
The price covers the complete service of developing and detailing the interior according to the defined scope, including all key project phases and professional support during implementation in an advisory capacity. This means the client receives expert clarification on design solutions and decisions within the designer’s responsibility during execution.
How much does construction supervision and professional coordination cost?
Indicative pricing for this service ranges from €35 to €55 per m². The final price is determined individually, depending on the project’s size, complexity, location, and the level of client involvement.
What factors most influence the final service cost?
The final price mainly depends on the space’s area, project complexity, level of technical detailing, and scope of engagement.
How is a quote for a specific project prepared?
Quotes are prepared individually. After reviewing the basic project documentation and information, a short discussion follows to better understand the client’s needs, preferences, project phase, and the appropriate scope of service. Based on this, a suitable collaboration framework is defined and a proposal is prepared.
Is it possible to get an exact price without reviewing the project?
Not completely. Indicative rates can provide an initial estimate, but a precise quote requires a basic review of the project, discussion of the client’s needs, and understanding of the desired scope of collaboration.
Do you work within a predefined budget?
Yes. When the budget is clearly defined, we develop the project within that framework, ensuring decisions are made thoughtfully and responsibly. The goal is to help the client achieve the best possible outcome within the planned investment, with minimal improvisation or unplanned deviations.
What if the budget is not fully defined at the start?
This is a common situation. Some clients have a clearly defined budget initially, while others only have a general idea of the investment level. In such cases, we use a design questionnaire and an initial discussion to define the desired standard, priorities, and expectations. The project is then developed in phases, gradually aligning solutions with the realistic investment framework.
How do you approach different levels of design and budgets?
Within a high-quality and thoughtful design standard, different levels of execution and furnishings are possible. The difference is not between a “good” or “bad” project, but in the choice of materials, degree of customization, complexity of details, level of equipment, and overall standard of the space. That is why it is important to define expectations and the desired level of design early, so the project aligns with the client’s investment logic from the start.
Does interior design provide a real ROI?
Yes, especially for tourism and development projects. A well-conceived and detailed space can increase the property’s market appeal, support a higher perceived value, help differentiate it on the market, and reduce the risk of costly mistakes during implementation. ROI comes not only from aesthetics but from better spatial logic, higher-quality detailing, and more responsible investment management.
What does the client actually get besides a “beautiful interior”?
The client receives not only an aesthetically pleasing space but also clear spatial organization, thoughtful decisions before execution, technical detailing, better control over investments, and greater security during implementation. The goal is to reduce improvisation, increase execution quality, and enhance the long-term value of the space and investment.
Are the published prices final and fixed?
No. The published amounts serve as indicative ranges, while the final price is defined individually based on the specific project.
Is there a minimum area or investment threshold for collaboration?
We primarily work on larger projects, generally 100 m² and above. Suitability also depends on the project type, scope of work, and investment framework.
Work Process
What does the collaboration process look like?
The process begins with an initial consultation, a review of the space, and the completion of a structured design questionnaire. This is followed by defining the project framework, concept development, spatial and visual detailing, execution planning, and preparation for implementation. This sequence ensures timely decision-making, thorough project development, and a clearer, more controlled execution with minimal improvisation.
What is a design questionnaire and how does it help the project?
The design questionnaire is a structured tool used at the start of collaboration to gather essential information about the client’s lifestyle, needs, habits, aesthetic preferences, priorities, and expectations. Its purpose is to guide the project more accurately from the outset. After completing the questionnaire, a discussion follows where key answers are reviewed together, leading to better-informed decisions for the project’s further development.
How long does a project take?
The duration depends on the size of the space, the project phase at which we join, the complexity of the work, and the scope of the service. As a guideline, a full project for smaller spaces may take around 4 weeks, medium-sized projects approximately 5–6 weeks, and larger or more complex projects about 8–10 weeks. The exact timeline is determined after an initial review and agreement on the project scope.
At what stage of the project should you contact us?
It is best to reach out as early as possible, during the planning phase, before decisions are made that could later limit the quality of solutions. The earlier the project is set up, the greater the potential for a well-considered, cohesive space without unnecessary compromises.
Can you join a project that is already in progress?
Yes. We can join a project even when construction is underway or the space is already spatially defined. In such cases, it is important to assess the existing situation and determine how much room remains for quality development, alignment of decisions, and improving the final result.
Do you prepare layout options?
Yes. As part of the project, we prepare layout options for the space, including furniture and equipment arrangements, to select the best foundation for further development.
How involved does the client need to be in the process?
The workflow is clearly structured for all projects, but the level of client involvement may vary. Some clients prefer to be more engaged in details, while others less so. Our role is to propose solutions we consider optimal and aligned, while the client makes final decisions at key stages of the project.
Quality, Style, and Outcome
What style do you work in?
We enjoy working in various styles and do not approach projects through rigid templates. Our focus is on creating a harmonious, contemporary, and timeless space tailored to the property, the client’s lifestyle, and the investment goal. The stylistic direction is discussed at the beginning of collaboration, including through the design questionnaire.
What does a “timeless” interior mean to you?
A timeless interior is not a space without character, but one that does not rely on short-lived trends. It emphasizes thoughtful proportions, high-quality materials, carefully designed lighting, functional clarity, and aesthetic stability over time.
Do you focus solely on aesthetics, or also on the project’s market logic?
Collaboration and Project Start
How do I start a collaboration?
Collaboration begins by submitting an inquiry through the contact form, including basic information about the location, project type, phase, area, approximate budget, and a brief project description.
What information should I prepare before submitting an inquiry?
It is most helpful to provide basic project information: location, project type, current phase, approximate area, and a brief description of needs. If you have project documentation, floor plans, drawings, photos of the existing condition, or other relevant materials, it is useful to include them, but they are not required for the initial contact.
Is the contact form intended for comprehensive, larger-scale projects?
Yes. The contact form is primarily intended for clients seeking a comprehensive project approach, typically for spaces of 100 m² or more.
