What’s it Like to Work with Artala

a Full-Service Design Firm?

Working with us isn’t just about designing a beautiful space — it’s about creating a home that feels deeply personal, layered with meaning, and thoughtfully crafted around the way you live.

From the very beginning, we’re all in — guiding you through a collaborative, hands-on process where every detail is considered, every decision has intention, and your story is woven into the design. Whether it’s a small house renovation, a full-scale home remodel, or new construction from the ground up — we approach every project with the same care and creativity.

Here’s what our process looks like, and what you can expect along the way:

Phase One: Discovery & Alignment

Where connection comes first.

Before we design a thing, we get to know you. This is a conversation-driven phase where we listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and take time to understand how you live, what brings you ease, and what feels like home to you — and what doesn’t.

We’ll uncover what inspires you, what challenges you, and what dreams you hold for your space. Together, we’ll establish a clear vision, budget, and scope for your project — creating a strong foundation to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Phase Two: Architectural Design

Designing the framework of your life.

With a deep understanding of your needs and lifestyle, we begin shaping your space from the inside out. We’ll explore creative layouts, thoughtful floor plans, and smart solutions that elevate how your home feels and functions.

This is where we present you with tailored concepts — not just drawings, but ideas that reflect the way you want to live and feel in your home. We’ll collaborate, refine, and ensure every square foot works beautifully for you.

Phase Three: Interior Design & Materiality.

Where your home’s soul takes shape.

This is the heart of the design journey — where materials, textures, finishes, and furnishings come together to create the look and feel of your home.

We’ll curate every element with care — from textiles you want to sink into, to finishes that feel just right in your hand and light switches to blend in with the surroundings. You’ll experience samples in person, explore mood boards, and see your vision start to come to life in tangible, exciting ways.

Phase Four: Documentation & Permitting

Managing the details behind the scenes.

Once the design is finalized, our team handles all technical documentation required for construction — from detailed drawings to permit coordination.

We navigate the logistics so you don’t have to — ensuring everything is built to specification, code-compliant, and ready for execution.

Phase Five: Procurement & Installation

Bringing it all home.

We handle sourcing and procurement with the same level of care we bring to design — partnering with trusted vendors, makers, and artisans to bring your space to life.

We manage ordering, storage, deliveries, and installation — so everything arrives on time, beautifully coordinated, and ready for that final reveal.

The End Result

At the end of the day, this process is about more than creating a home you love — it’s about feeling deeply seen, supported, and cared for along the way.

Our role is to guide you, advocate for you, and design a space that doesn’t just look beautiful — but feels like you.

Because home isn’t just where you live — it’s where your life unfolds.
