Interior Design with purpose
INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICES
Our interior design approach is grounded in creating spaces that feel considered, cohesive, and built to last. Led by Jessica, our Lead Designer with over a decade of experience in the Sea to Sky corridor, our team works closely with clients to design interiors that reflect how they live, not just how a space looks.
What sets GNAR apart is our integrated approach. Interior design is not treated as a separate phase, it is considered from the beginning alongside the building design. This results in spaces that feel fully connected, avoiding the disconnects and redesigns that often happen when interiors are brought in too late.
We believe great design comes from informed, intentional decisions, not simply higher budgets. Our process is collaborative and engaging, guiding you through each step to create a space that feels personal, functional, and aligned with your vision.
Our Interior Design Process
PHASE 1

Following your inquiry, we schedule a discovery consultation (on-site or virtual) to explore your project, objectives, timeline, and design aspirations. After this meeting, we provide a tailored proposal outlining project scope, fees, and next steps.
PHASE 2
DOCUMENTATION & PERMITTING
SITE ANALYSIS & DOCUMENTATION COLLECTION
We conduct a thorough site visit to capture precise measurements, photographs, and all relevant documentation, producing accurate existing-condition drawings.

Interior Design FAQ's
When should interior design start in a project
Interior design works best when it is integrated early, ideally alongside the building design. This ensures layouts, lighting, materials, and finishes are considered together, avoiding redesigns later in the process.
Do you offer interior design for renovations or only new builds
We work on both renovations and new builds. In renovation projects, we help rework layouts, improve functionality, and ensure the updated space feels cohesive with the rest of the home.
Do you help with furniture and styling
Yes, we can support everything from layout and finishes through to furniture, décor, and final styling to ensure the space feels complete.
How does your interior design integrate with building design
Our interior design is developed alongside the building design within a shared 3D model. This ensures all elements are coordinated, from structure and layout through to finishes and furnishings.
