OUR PROCESS

A thoughtful, collaborative approach to bringing your vision to life.

THE ORO SPACES APPROACH

Our design process is thoughtful, collaborative, and transparent. We guide you through each phase, ensuring that your vision is realized with precision and care.

Phase 01

DISCOVERY

We begin by understanding your vision, needs, and aspirations for your space. This phase is about listening, learning, and establishing the foundation for a successful collaboration.

Through in-depth consultations, site visits, and lifestyle discussions, we gather the insights needed to create a design that truly reflects your unique style and enhances your daily experience.

Phase 02

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Based on our discovery findings, we create a design concept that captures your vision and addresses your specific needs. This phase is about translating ideas into a cohesive design direction.

We present mood boards, material palettes, and preliminary space plans that communicate the overall look and feel of your space, allowing you to visualize the design direction before moving forward.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Once the concept is approved, we refine it into detailed plans, specifications, and visual representations. This phase transforms the concept into a comprehensive design package.

We develop detailed floor plans, elevations, and 3D renderings that bring the design to life. We specify every element, from furniture and fixtures to finishes and accessories, ensuring a cohesive and complete design.
