01 Scope

Design concept scope

One visual direction, a storage volume checked against your household, and a cost band agreed before any finish is chosen. Written for Kyiv apartments of 45–120 m² and houses of 100–200 m².

Apartments, 45–120 m²
Full-flat concept: zoning, furniture layout, joinery elevations and lighting plan, including hallway and utility niches.Storage +1.8 m² · Clearance 90 cm · Cost band B
Houses, 100–200 m²
Ground and upper floors in one document, with the stair zone and entry treated as storage-bearing space.Storage +3.2 m² · Clearance 110 cm · Cost band C
Storage check
Closed storage measured in square metres and compared with your household requirement before finishes are discussed.Storage +2.4 m² · Clearance 75 cm · Cost band A
Budget framing
Four bands, A to D, fixed at concept stage. Renovation cost per m² inside each band is indicative and confirmed at tender.
Drawing set
Plan set for contractors: demolition, partitions, ceilings, floor build-ups, electrical and the material schedule.

The design fee is from 950 UAH/m², estimated. It is never a fixed total and never bundled with construction cost.

Before you commit: a 45 minute introductory call, free of charge, no obligation, no purchase required.

Deliverables

One numbered, dated file set at handover. Nothing agreed verbally sits outside it.

Four documents make up the concept

Each item is issued as a print-ready PDF plus a working file, so your contractor prices from the same drawings the studio designed.

01Measured plan
Existing conditions surveyed on site to the nearest centimetre: walls, openings, window reveals, risers, shafts and radiator positions. Every later drawing is set against this base, so it is re-checked before any layout work begins.
02Annotated drawings
Dimensioned floor plans, key elevations, lighting circuits and socket layouts. Storage volume and clearance are written directly on the drawing, so a joiner or electrician reads the intent without a call.
03Material schedule
Room-by-room table of finishes with quantity, format, fixing method and an indicative cost band from A to D. Suppliers are named only where the format genuinely matters.
04Written scope
The room ledger in words, using the studio annotation set throughout: Storage +X m², Clearance X cm, Cost band X. It also states assumptions, dependencies and what the concept deliberately leaves out.

Drawings stop at the design stage. Supervision, procurement and installation sit with your contractor team. Read the stated exclusions or the five-stage process that produces these files.

04 Exclusions

What the concept does not cover

The design concept is a document for your apartment or house, not a construction contract. Stating where it stops keeps every budget band honest.

Not included in the design fee

  • Construction and finishing works Tendered and contracted separately with your chosen builder; the studio does not subcontract or price labour.
  • Engineering sign-off Structural, electrical and ventilation drawings are issued by licensed engineers, not by the design team.
  • Permits and approvals Consent from the building management or a re-planning authority stays with you; we supply drawings for submission only.
  • Procurement and delivery Furniture, appliances and lighting are specified in detail but purchased on your own accounts.
  • Daily site supervision Scheduled author visits are part of the package; full-time attendance on site is a separate arrangement.

Dependencies we rely on

  • Measured survey Clearance figures and closed storage volume are only as accurate as the dimensions supplied at the start.
  • Stated household requirement Storage is compared against the figure you confirm, so that number has to be settled before finishes are discussed.
  • Product availability Specified items may be substituted if a supplier withdraws them; the cost band is then restated.

What we will not promise: a fixed total renovation price, a storage volume larger than the measured closed cabinetry allows, or a completion date that depends on contractors we do not manage. The design fee is always quoted from a per-square-metre rate and labelled estimated.

Process

Fixed order. Each stage closes before the next opens.

Five stages from first call to buildable set

Design fee is quoted as from 1,200 UAH/m², estimated, and never bundled with construction cost.

  1. 01

    Scope and requirement capture

    A 45 minute introduction call, free of charge, no obligation, no purchase required, settles the room list and the storage figure your household actually needs.

    You receive

    • Closed storage requirement in m²
    • Shortlist of budget bands A to D

    Depends on

    Your plan or a measured sketch. Without one, storage figures stay provisional.

  2. 02

    Annotated concept board

    Visual style is set beside practical storage and available space, then tagged with the studio annotation: Storage +X m², Clearance X cm, Cost band X.

    You receive

    • One concept board per room group
    • Storage and clearance targets per room

    Depends on

    A signed storage target. Finishes are not discussed before it.

  3. 03

    Room-by-room constraint ledger

    Every room gets a ruled row: storage volume, clearance, and a budget band with its indicative renovation cost range per m² in UAH.

    You receive

    • Complete ledger across all rooms
    • Side-by-side band comparison

    Depends on

    Concept approval, so quantities match the agreed layout.

  4. 04

    Working drawings and specification

    Plans, wall elevations and the joinery schedule for closed storage, priced against the ledger rather than against a mood board.

    You receive

    • Drawing set for contractor pricing
    • Joinery and finish specification

    Depends on

    Ledger sign-off and confirmed site measurements.

  5. 05

    Handover and site support

    Revisions while work is on site, answered in writing so the contractor builds one agreed version of the drawings.

    You receive

    • Final drawing revision set
    • Cost band check at practical completion

    Depends on

    Site start date. Support runs for the build, not indefinitely.

Unsure which stage you need? Ask before you book, or read what the concept covers.

06 Next step

A free 45-minute call, before any fee is agreed.

We open the conversation with your apartment, your storage shortfall and your budget band. No plan is drawn and no invoice is issued until you decide the concept is worth pursuing.

  • 45 minutes, free of charge, with the designer who would lead your project.
  • No obligation, no purchase required to attend.
  • Design fee from 1 850 UAH/m², estimated and quoted only after the call.
