Contact Studio Akiva

Getting in touch01

Three ways, depending on where you are.

Most people start with the discovery call, because fifteen minutes of conversation settles more than an hour of reading. If you would rather write it down first, the enquiry form is the better route.

Book a discovery call

A free fifteen minute call to talk through your project and work out whether we are the right studio for it. No charge, no obligation, and nothing to prepare.

Send us the details

Our enquiry form asks about the rooms, the timescale and roughly where your budget sits. It takes a few minutes and it means our first reply is a useful one rather than a list of questions.

Just ask us something

For a quick question that does not need a call, email or phone is faster. We answer everything ourselves, so you will not be routed through anybody.

The discovery call02

What it is, and what it is not.

What we will cover

Which rooms you are thinking about and what is prompting it. Whether anything structural or electrical is involved. Roughly what you are expecting to spend on the work itself. Which of our services actually fits, including when the honest answer is a smaller one than you were expecting.

By the end you should know what a project with us would look like, what it would cost, and how long it would take.

What it is not

It is not a design consultation. Nobody will look at your photographs and suggest a layout, and no advice is given on colours, furniture or finishes, because that is the paid work rather than the introduction to it.

Paid design consultancy is available by the hour and is usually worth having before a project starts. We will tell you on the call if that is what you need.

If you are already a client

Please do not use this page. Everything to do with a live project goes through your project space so that it stays in one place and your designer sees it, and anything sent here will only be forwarded on and slow you down.

Our address
