Interior Design
Full-service, In-house Interior Design Services
Interior design shouldn’t be an afterthought. Our multidisciplinary approach integrates interior design, management and technical professionals from day one, ensuring that design activates every element of the process and that the final product presents as an integrated whole.
Benefits of In-House Interior Design
By bringing our interior design experts in on early discussions, our team can be extremely intentional about space planning. Details like window placement, furnishing needs, lighting and ambiance, are all accounted for prior to construction. In this way, we allow principles of design like harmony, balance, scale, and so on to inform the architectural and construction components of the project.
The place where architectural design and interior design intersect may differ with each project, but recognizing the importance of this intersection and allowing for ongoing collaboration can impact an entire project and the resulting design in only positive ways.
Coordination and collaboration between our team carry on throughout the project in its entirety, working together to bring the same design narrative to our thoughtfully designed exteriors as well as the more granular scale of interior design.
This ensures our clients find clarity and simplicity when working with us to bring their vision to life, end-to-end.
Our Approach to Interior Design
Our design philosophy centres on timelessness, longevity, durability, and flexibility. From interior to exterior, we work with you to ensure that your vision comes to life in a sustainable way that allows for easy adaptations of the space as your needs change over time.
Here’s how we apply that approach specifically to interior design:
- Step 1: Consult with you on your vision
- Step 2: Programming & Spatial Analysis
- Step 3: Work with you to establish a project budget
- Step 4: Preliminary concept planning
- Step 5: Design development
- Step 6: Preliminary ceiling plans
- Step 7: Finish & material selections
- Step 8: Detailed finish plans
- Step 9: Furniture & Fixture selections
- Step 10: Establish a schedule
We keep the client’s end of the deal simple. Just tell us your goals for the space, what resources or parameters you’re working with, and provide input and feedback along the way. We’ll take care of the rest.
"The team from MSS has been an absolute pleasure. They’ve maintained open communication, actively listened to our needs and concerns, and collaborated closely with city staff to ensure all project requirements were met. The attention to detail and meticulous planning was evident throughout the project, ensuring that every aspect was carefully considered and well executed. We are looking forward to continuing working with them through construction and can’t wait to see the final product. Their professionalism, creativity, and commitment to delivering excellent results have been greatly appreciated, and we are thankful for the positive impact they have made on our project."
