At the start of every new project, our primary goal is to fully understand the history of the interior. To do this, we gather the most comprehensive information about the building's original purpose, its architect, and the style and period it represents. It is also of paramount importance to identify decorative elements in other parts of the building that can be referenced and that will guide our work. It is not unusual to start this process by researching a historic mural.

A full understanding of the budget and the project, as well as the owner's needs, helps us to make the best decisions about what to preserve, restore or recreate. Then, once we have all the information we need, we start to develop the visual plans for the work, detailing the motifs in digital form. This will allow the owner and other stakeholders to get a better understanding of the intended artwork and to see how the colours and design elements will interact with the existing environment.
