Reading a client's references together

Why a Pinterest board is a good place to start a conversation about space.

Kafekota, Bandung — design visualisation, image 2

Most owners arrive with images: screenshots, saved posts, a Pinterest board. We treat them as a first language, not as a brief to copy.

What we look for - The light in the picture, not only the furniture - How people would move through the room - What the image leaves out: storage, services, neighbours

From image to decision Together we name what each reference is really about, a feeling of height, a warm material, a quiet corner. Those notes go into the Spatial Brief, and the design answers them in your own site and budget.
