Interior Design & Renovation
Mastering the Process
At Studio Sakaia, we follow a refined 15-step project management system that brings clarity to every phase of your project. From initial consultation to final reveal, we manage the entire process and deliver weekly updates — so you always know what's done, what's in progress, and what's next.
Discovery & Visioning
Steps 1-3
We begin with a paid consultation and a clear understanding of your needs. Through site visits and measurements, we study layouts, lifestyle, and materials to outline a design direction that balances beauty, function, and long-term value.
Design Development
Step 4-5
Your ideas take shape in a curated design presentation. We bring together drawings, visuals, samples, and budgets, giving you a complete view of the project before any work begins.
Procurement & Build
Steps 6-10
From artisan workshops to on-site execution, we manage all orders, schedules, and installations. Our team coordinates contractors, craftsmen, and logistics to ensure timelines move smoothly.
Installation & Beyond
Steps 11-15
The final reveal brings the full design to life—furnishings, art, and styling all placed with intention. We remain available for refinements and ongoing support long after the project is complete.
