For Apartment Owners

Practical information

What interior design actually means for a compact tower apartment — and what to realistically expect from the process.

Who This Is For

You just received your keys.
Now what?

Most people who contact us are in one of two situations: they've just purchased a new apartment in a Chilean tower and want to set it up thoughtfully from the start, or they've been living in their unit for some time and feel the space isn't working as well as it should.

Both situations are valid starting points. The approach differs slightly — a fresh unit allows more flexibility, while an occupied apartment requires working around existing elements — but the core methodology is the same.

What we don't do is take on projects that require structural changes, full renovations, or work on property types outside our specialty. We're specific by design.

Common Questions

Things owners
often ask us.

No. Our work is entirely in the design and specification phase. We review your floor plan, develop the design, and deliver documentation. Any physical changes — moving furniture, purchasing new pieces, installing lighting — happen at your pace and on your schedule. We don't manage construction or assembly unless specifically contracted to do so.
Yes, within reason. We begin every project by documenting what you already own — dimensions, placement, condition. If existing pieces are proportionally appropriate for your space, we incorporate them into the layout. If something is working against the space, we'll tell you clearly and explain why, but the final decisions are always yours.
The most useful starting point is your apartment's floor plan — ideally the one provided by the developer, with dimensions noted. If you don't have this, we can work from photos and measurements you take yourself. We'll also ask about your lifestyle, storage needs, and any specific requirements or constraints you have in mind.
The design and specification phase typically takes between three and six weeks from initial consultation to final document delivery, depending on complexity and how quickly feedback is exchanged. This is the design timeline — the execution timeline (purchasing, delivery, assembly) is entirely separate and depends on your suppliers and schedule.
Yes. Our design and specification work is done remotely — we work from floor plans, photos, and video calls. We have worked with apartments in Viña del Mar, Concepción, and other Chilean cities. A site visit is useful but not always necessary for the design phase.
The final document includes: floor plans at scale showing furniture placement, a complete furniture list with exact dimensions and supplier references, material and finish specifications, a lighting layout with fixture recommendations, and color palette specifications with paint codes. Everything is formatted to be taken directly to suppliers without additional interpretation.
Yes — and this is one of the specific challenges we've developed a detailed approach for. South-facing apartments in Santiago receive indirect, diffuse light throughout the day. This actually offers certain advantages: the light is consistent and doesn't create harsh shadows. The key is working with the right color temperatures, reflective surfaces, and artificial lighting strategies that complement rather than fight the natural light condition. We have a specific protocol for this.
What to Expect

The honest version
of what we do.

What we can do

Reconfigure your layout without structural changes. Select furniture proportioned for your specific floor plan. Design storage solutions that use vertical space. Create a lighting plan that maximizes perceived volume. Develop a color strategy suited to your light conditions.

What we don't do

We don't manage construction or renovations. We don't move partition walls or modify plumbing. We don't work on houses, offices, or commercial spaces. We don't supply or install furniture — we specify it. We don't take on projects outside the 35–55 m² tower apartment typology.

What you'll receive

A complete specification document that's precise enough to execute independently. Clear floor plans. A furniture list you can take to any supplier. Material and color specifications. A lighting plan. And a design rationale that explains why each decision was made — so you understand the logic, not just the outcome.
