They were replacing an existing house with a new build and the contracting company had encouraged them to work with a designer. Although our initial meetings went well the homeowners decided to tackle the design work on their own. Construction wasn’t scheduled to start for a year and they felt they had lots of time to figure it out. We wished them a successful project and encouraged them to call if they needed any direction. In the spring of 2016—two years later—we received a request from the homeowner and contactor to meet with them at the project site. The ren-ovation was well under way. The framing was completed along with some of the exterior cladding, and the electrician was on site installing wiring. The homeowners remorsefully told us that in the two years since our first meeting, they had managed to select some of the plumbing fixtures; but they still had no idea what to do with the kitchen and bathroom designs, flooring, lighting, countertops, cabinetry, paint colours, appliances and exterior colours. The renovation and design process proved to be over-whelming for them, and now they needed us to step in and finish. LUCKILY we had an unexpected gap in our schedule and we were able to wrap up the construction related design work without delaying the project. As you can see by the finished photos, this story had a happy ending. ABOUT PROJECT 6 THE GREAT GRIMSBY 7 8 THE GREAT GRIMSBY 9 Next >
