How we work

Slow thinking, fast answers.

Detail

Technical drawings, joinery, lighting and specification, followed by a competitive tender.

Questions

Before you begin.

Read the full FAQ
Do you work outside Denmark and Portugal?

Yes. We have built in nine countries and work with local executive architects wherever a licence is required.

How is the fee paid?

In instalments at the end of each stage, so you never pay far ahead of the work delivered.

Can we pause between stages?

Of course. Many clients take time after the design stage to arrange finance or planning.
