There is an idea at the beginning of everything. Then comes the idea and after that comes the realization. But when we decide to implement the idea, the stumbling block comes, and that is spatial imagination, specifically in the interior. We're going to focus on the idea.

It happens quite often that a client comes with a request that is not entirely practical or is completely unfeasible. Most often it is an overabundance of furniture in a small space, a combination of disparate materials or colours, etc.

That's where the interior designer comes in, who not only has to know the appropriate spatial layout and ergonomics of the living space, but also very important is the knowledge of materials, flooring, wall construction or furniture manufacturing technology, all of which make up one whole. So it's not just about the practice of design, but also about the actual implementation. The result of such meetings is often a design in special programs, which helps to create an idea of the layout of the space, the aforementioned choice of colours and materials.

And how exactly does such a proposal work?

"In our studio we deliberately use several different programs to achieve the best and most realistic result. First we have to imagine the layout in a 2D program where we can play with the mass, we have the possibility to move the partitions, to adapt to the specific client.

But 2D doesn't give us a realistic idea and that's the thing that the client can't imagine. That's why they create a 3D model without specific materials and other details.

Then we move to the next program, where we create a concrete idea with detailed elements. Lighting, mirrors, flowers and so on. The final step is called rendering, which is the completion of the final design." explains architect Romana from Tempus Design.
