​The Design Process

By the end the designer should fully understand the needs of the project in detail and the client should verify accuracy before the designer proceeds to the next phase.

​

Schematic design- Phase 2 of the interior design process. A brainstorming or “what-if” phase that is creative and innovative. The designer explores and generates multiple ideas and multiple-design solutions based on the client program. Designer uses schematics- quick drawings to help envision floor plants, spaces, and more. Includes concept development, preliminary space planning, drawings, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and budget projection. By the end of this phase the designer will have explored multiple design solutions and will provide the client with enough information to be able to select a proposed solution.

Multiple Choice
