Brighton and Hove Bespoke Furniture Design
Shape Architecture offers our clients numerous additional services ranging from interior design to garden design. A popular service is our design of bespoke furniture and many of our projects benefit from our experience in this area. Typically, we will design walk-in-wardrobes, kitchens and storage units of all types. The development of the design of these items alongside the architectural design of the surrounding space ensures a harmonious integration. The process sees us taking the client’s brief and preparing a series of design proposals in both 2D and 3D modelling. We then work up in detail our large-scale drawings of each item of furniture to be priced. The successful contractor will then appoint his specialist furniture maker who takes the design further and prepares shop drawings for comment and brings samples to site for all to discuss. Once signed off the items of furniture are manufactured and installed.
We often work with specialist furniture makers with whom we have a relationship with. This recently completed project in Hove saw us working with Special Branch Furniture whose work Is of a very high standard. Our brief was to design a range of furniture for the whole house, from striking long linear display cabinets, various storage solutions, and the kitchen. In our design work, the furniture and house were seen as a whole right from the making of the first computer model and the result is an elegant and well integrated range of furniture that enhances the interior and provide valuable storage and display space.

A Guide to Bespoke Fixed Furniture Design
As architects we design bespoke fixed furniture for our projects. This is a very good way of ensuring our clients benefit from designs suited to their needs which are integrated with the interior design of the scheme as a whole . The process starts with Shape Architecture producing a series of concept designs in 2D and 3D to our client’s brief. We will then sit down with our clients to discuss the proposals. Following this we will update the drawings of each item of bespoke furniture and add technical notes. This then forms a part of the tender documentation and will be developed in detail by the bespoke furniture sub contractor who will produce a set of fabrication drawings for our comments and also provide physical samples as required. At Shirley Drive we worked with the company ‘Special Branch’ and have done so on many such projects.
