Thank you. Now send us
the plan, and we will book
your session around it.
Your receipt is on its way by email. We cannot schedule the call until we have seen the space, because the whole point is that the plan is read before we speak rather than during. Five minutes now saves twenty on the day.
Email it to hello@studioakiva.com,
subject line: Layout Clinic.
The first two lines matter most. Everything below them is a bonus, so send what you have rather than waiting until you have all of it.
| The plan | An architect's drawing, an estate agent floor plan, or a photograph of a sketch on paper. A PDF is ideal, a clear photo is fine. |
| What you are trying to decide | One or two lines. "Can we lose the wall and still fit a proper kitchen" is a better brief than "we want it open plan". |
| Rough measurements | Wall lengths and ceiling height, room by room. Skip this if your plan is already dimensioned. If you are measuring, note the width of every doorway and the position of the windows. |
| A photo of each wall | Stand in the corners and take one shot per wall, including doors, windows and radiators. These tell us more in ten seconds than a paragraph of description. |
| Anything that cannot move | The boiler, the soil stack, the meter cupboard, a radiator you are keeping, a dresser that has to fit somewhere. Fixed points decide layouts more often than preferences do. |
| Who is joining the call | Names and email addresses, so the invitation goes to everyone. Partners and builders are welcome and usually make the session better. |
No plan at all? Say so in the email and we will send you a one-page guide to measuring the room yourself. It takes about half an hour with a tape and gets us everything we need.
You will hear from us
within one working day.
| Once your plan arrives | We confirm we have it and come back with two or three times that work, including evenings. Tell us if you have a deadline, a builder waiting or an offer going in, and we will prioritise accordingly. |
| Before the session | A designer reads the plan, marks it up and prepares at least two layout directions to test with you. You will get a calendar invitation with the video link. |
| On the day | Ninety minutes, screen shared, working on your plan live. Nothing to prepare beyond being somewhere you can talk properly. |
| Within 48 hours after | Your written summary: the layouts we discussed, the recommended direction, the dimensions and constraints behind it, and what to do next. Written so you can forward it straight to a builder or supplier. |
| If you need to move it | Just tell us. Life happens and we would rather reschedule than have you take the call from a car park. |
Send the plan and we
will take it from there.
