New Interior Design
Rose Peploe, Head of Interior Design at Zara Moon Architects announces their new in-house interior design service
Good interior design should be simple, functional and beautiful. I love working with traditional timeless pieces, whilst introducing playfulness and expressing personality. Interiors should continue the same narrative as the architecture, working with the client to bring the vision to life.
I have spent the last 10 years honing my skills working across both commercial and residential sectors delivering museums, hotels, luxury homes, high end retail stores, bars and restaurants. My experience varies from heritage schemes through to new builds.
To me, interior design is about the everyday, creating spaces to experience, live and socialise with an emphasis on human connection. Comfort and wellbeing are at the heart of our designs. Design should be honest and authentic with a complementary use of materials.
As a multi-disciplinary team, ZMA can cover all aspects of the design process ensuring the interior design is cohesive and reactive to other areas of a design and build project.
Our interior design schemes are delivered through a phased approach in the same way as our architectural schemes.
The key to a successful scheme and a happy client, is understanding how you want to use a space, your specific requirements and needs. This allows us to translate your desires and requirements into your dream home.
STYLE DIRECTION
We start by listening and creating a story that can guide the creative process. Firstly, we work with the client to initially develop a style direction before moving onto 3D concept development. This involves visual research, precedents and Pinterest! So, this is the time to identify any features or styles you love.
3D WALK-THROUGH & VISUALISATIONS
Designing and presenting in 3D ensures we are able to communicate clearly and allow our clients to work through any challenging areas of a design scheme at the concept phase, ensuring the process runs smoothly. We build the space in 3D, so you can experience and visualise walking through your building, with furniture, lighting and even views!
SPECIFICATION & COSTINGS
We then develop the design and specification where the technical information and costings are produced. This is when we present different materials, textures and samples for you to select, while developing your budget for each space simultaneously.
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS PACKAGE
Following the specification and costings, a construction drawings package is produced, including any built-in furniture, bespoke furniture, lighting design plans, wall and floor finish schedules – basically everything your contractor would need to make the design a reality.
DELIVERY
We then work directly with the contractor and subcontractors to deliver the designs on-site, guiding and advising throughout. We monitor quality, ensuring designs reflect your original brief.
We are here to guide our clients to craft spaces with longevity to meet their needs, grow with their families and stand the test of time.
If you have a space which needs reimagining, get in touch and we will take it from there.
