21st Century Values and Approach.

Delicate Steel is dedicated to a holistic design approach. We try to be good citizens, good neighbours and worthy of the trust you put in us. We prioritize your health, our environment and how you experience design.

 

Health.

Healthful design takes many forms, ultimately you’ll tell us which are right for you. In general, we -

  • avoid harmful chemicals

  • welcome natural light and a connection to the outdoors

  • incorporate a sense of calm

  • consider technology options that clean and maintain internal climate

  • develop floor plans that accommodate differently abled bodies without sacrificing style or dignity


Environment.

Clients can be frightened to pursue an ‘eco’ build. Not to worry, there are ways to be environmentally conscious throughout any design project. We will work with you to -

  • weigh the pros and cons of working with existing pieces

  • make informed decisions about durability and manufacturing origins

  • consider locally sourced products

  • source vintage or antique items and give them a new lease on life

  • make sense of evolving eco-friendly technologies and anticipated trajectories

Client focused communication means you will be well informed, confident and relaxed throughout your design journey. Your experience working with us will be -

 

Personal.

We take the time to get to know you, your space and your needs. We will schedule an initial consult where you can tell us about your project and get a feel for who we are. If you’re happy to move forward, we’ll walk through the site taking pictures, measurements and asking questions. Our goal is to create a truly personalized design that reflects the best of you, your business, home and family. We want everyone who walks in to immediately feel where they are. We’ll work with you until we get it right.

Logical.

Our designs make sense. We will present you with a detailed plan and incorporate your feedback. In the end, the layout will be as practical and efficient as it is beautiful. If we are working with you to re-design only a portion of a larger space, perhaps a kitchen or reception area, it will be reinvigorated without feeling wholly out of place. We will tie our designs into the building’s existing DNA or create a plan for you to work towards moving forward.

Simple.

You deserve to relax and enjoy the design experience. Professional photos of the ‘ideal’ space online can quickly overwhelm anyone. We are all burdened by having access to too many choices and too much information but with too little time. We will help you make sense of it all by focusing solely on what’s relevant to your project and within your budget. There is no doubt living through a renovation can be stressful and disruptive. Working with a design firm shouldn’t be. We promise clear, consistent communication and thoughtful, easy to understand plans for you to follow throughout the process.
