Three steps into a project, each with its own deliverable and price
A project begins with three short stages: CONCEPT, DESIGN, ENGINEERING. Each has its own price, timeline and deliverable. After any stage you decide whether to continue.
01
CONCEPT - testing the idea for the space
- - Spatial strategy and guiding idea.
- - Concept document (two to four pages) + moodboard.
When it fitsTest the idea for the space before serious investment in the project. Establish whether the site has a meaning of its own.
Price / timeline
€3-5k
one week
02
DESIGN - turning the idea into a visual project
- - 3D visualisation of key scenes.
- - Concept book (15-30 pages).
- - Specification of materials, colours and key elements.
When it fitsSign off the proposal with investors, brand and marketing before committing to detailed design.
Price / timeline
€5-7k
two to three weeks
03
ENGINEERING - preparing the project for fabrication
- - Complete set of working drawings.
- - Engineering calculations and loads.
- - Specifications ready for fabrication.
When it fitsAgree the proposal with the client, engineering teams and adjacent contractors, and confirm that every piece fits technically into the build.
Price / timeline
€5-8k
three to four weeks
DESIGN CONCEPTS
Project budget - three reference points
The final budget is calculated for the specific project. The three reference points below mark the typical range by type of project: one piece, a signature piece, or several connected zones.
Signature
One piece
from €60k
fabrication
One space with defined boundaries. A hotel lobby, a showroom façade, an art installation in a shopping centre.
When it fits
- - You have one specific piece in mind.
- - First project with us, at a contained scale.
Pre-production one to two months · fabrication two to four months
Guidance for this scale →Landmark
Signature piece
from €100k
fabrication
One significant signature piece. A large installation, an entrance or an art object that sets the character of the place.
When it fits
- - You have a point that should become the accent of the space.
- - You need a piece that gives the place its identity and brings out the camera.
Pre-production two to three months · fabrication three to six months
Guidance for this scale →Environment
Several connected zones
from €150k
fabrication
A full environment for the space as a whole. Several connected zones under one artistic idea: courtyards, communal areas, a public piece.
When it fits
- - You have several zones that need to come together as one coherent space.
- - The environment works as a destination people travel to.
Pre-production from three months · fabrication from three to six months
Guidance for this scale →STAGES AND BUDGET
How the project budget comes together
Project budget = pre-production + fabrication + installation. Pre-production is the same for every project: the path from idea to ready documentation. Fabrication depends on the scale - Signature, Landmark or Environment. Installation is calculated for the specific site.
01
Pre-production
€13-20k
CONCEPT + DESIGN + ENGINEERING. Documentation, concept, detailed design. Ready to start fabrication in the workshop.
02
Fabrication
from €60k
Signature from €60k, Landmark from €100k, Environment from €150k. The final price depends on materials, scale and engineering requirements.
03
Installation
by brief
Calculated for the specific site. Depends on location (transport, crew travel), structural complexity (working at height, specialised equipment), site access and timeline.
An environment engineered for years
Every joint and load-bearing structure is calculated and load-tested.
Warranty
from five years
Structures, metal, joints
two years
Lighting systems
Full-cycle studio
From the first idea to the final fitting, the project stays in one pair of hands
Start with CONCEPT for €3-5k
The first step is CONCEPT in one week: the idea and strategy for the space. The decision on the next stage stays with you.
