Creativity
The firm’s philosophy of holistic design encompasses interior architecture, branding, image, identity, and vision. Our practice translates these factors into the built environment. Collaboration with our clients allows us to establish a unique identity for each through distinctive architectural details, rich material palettes, and specific design criteria. We provide innovative solutions while addressing health, safety, and comfort issues. Through strategic planning, we position our clients to attain and retain the very best results within their industry.
Services
Our design is team-oriented: not only do we involve the highly-skilled members of MAK Interior Design, but through collaboration with other professionals—such as specialized consultants, engineers, suppliers, and contractors—we maximize the delivery of a high quality product.
Interior design encompasses many services. It begins with programming, to gain a complete understanding of functional requirements, vision, objectives, and goals. Once these are established, we begin space planning, concept development, selecting finishes, and reviewing the Building Code. We collaborate with our consultants and develop construction drawings. Once construction begins, we administrate the project and liaise with the contractor until project completion and client move-in.
