Design decisions

Resolve the room, the visible form and the hidden interfaces together.

A clear place to start.

Stone material and design reference

A reference image expresses an intention. The drawing needs to define how that intention fits the room: dimensions, chair or equipment positions, exposed edges, joints, support and adjoining materials.

Begin with what people will see and touch, then draw what is normally hidden. Basin fittings, table connections, cable routes and lighting access often determine whether a convincing visual idea becomes a workable piece.

Use these guides to identify the decisions that belong in the brief and approval drawing. Site-specific structural, electrical and installation requirements remain with the responsible project professionals.
