01

Site Reading

We visit the space, photograph existing conditions, measure light at different hours, and document the materials already present. A brief written assessment follows within one week.

02

Scheme Development

Concept boards, spatial drawings, and a running material sample set are developed over four to six weeks. Clients review spreads at our studio table, not in slide decks.

03

Specification & Detailing

Every surface, fixture, and threshold is drawn, specified, and noted for the trades. We issue a bound specification book and coordinate directly with contractors.

04

Installation & Placement

We supervise final finishes, receive furniture, and place every object. The room is photographed only after the client has lived in it for at least one season.

"They treated our kitchen like a serious piece of architecture. The joinery details, the plaster finish, the way the light hits the counter at six in the morning — none of it is accidental. Two years in and we still notice new things."

Claire Eames · Homeowner, NE Portland renovation

"Morrow Vale redesigned our gallery and office without once asking us to look at a mood board. They brought physical samples, real drawings, and a material book that our contractor still references. The space is quiet, functional, and exactly right."

Daniel Koh · Director, Koh Sato Gallery

FAQ

Practical margin notes for a well-matched client

Keep the answers calm and editorial. A sentence with real specificity beats a soft pitch.

Most residential projects run eight to fourteen months from first site visit through installation. Smaller scopes — a single room or a material refresh — can be completed in three to four months.
