A project structured in three phases — from creative direction to construction documents. Clear deliverables to define the space before it’s built. Condos, private residences, restaurants, bars, hotels, commercial spaces — the method adapts to every context.
CONCEPT
Develop the direction. A moodboard, preliminary material palette and defined architectural framework establish the aesthetic and technical foundations of the project.
VISUALIZATION
Visualize the space as a whole. Photorealistic 3D renderings integrating structure, fixed or custom millwork, lighting and materials — adjustable before construction begins. This is not an illustration of the project — it is the design process itself.
TECHNICAL DRAWINGS
Construction-ready documentation. Dimensioned plans, sections, elevations and construction details — technical documents ensuring faithful execution of the concept. Derived directly from the validated model, they guarantee continuity between the vision and the built result.
SUPPORT
Complementary oversight can be integrated into the mandate: supplier sourcing, artisan coordination, on-site verification during construction.

FAQ
When should you bring in an interior designer on a project?
As early as possible. Ideally before any technical decision, in order to properly structure the space from the start.
Are 3D renderings included?
Yes. They are part of the design process and allow the space, materials and lighting to be validated before construction.
Do you provide construction drawings?
Yes. Deliverables include dimensioned plans, elevations and details required for execution.
Is on-site support during construction available?
Complementary oversight can be integrated into the mandate: supplier selection, coordination and follow-up.
Does the process apply to all project types?
Yes. Condos, private residences, restaurants, bars, hotels, commercial spaces — the method adapts to new construction as well as full or partial renovations.
Do you only work in Montreal?
No. The studio is based in Montreal and operates across Greater Montreal — Westmount, Outremont, Griffintown, Laval, North Shore — as well as remotely for projects in Quebec and Canada.
What are typical project timelines?
Variable depending on scope. A concept phase can be quick, while a full project including technical drawings spans several weeks.
How are fees structured?
Mandates are defined based on project scope. A clear proposal is established upfront, according to needs.
Do you work with contractors or suppliers?
Yes, as needed. The project can be coordinated with selected professionals to ensure execution consistency.
What is needed to start a project?
An initial conversation is all it takes. Based on your intentions and available information — existing plans, references, budget — a tailored proposal is prepared.
What is the difference between an interior designer and a decorator?
A decorator works with furniture, colors and accessories. An interior designer conceives the space as a whole — volumes, structure, lighting, materials — and produces the technical documents required for construction. At OAD, every project is developed in 3D and accompanied by construction documents.
Why design a project in 3D before construction?
3D modeling allows every element of the project to be visualized and validated — volumes, materials, lighting, furniture — in a realistic environment before construction begins. Adjustments are made in the model, not on the job site. The result: a cohesive project, confirmed decisions, and execution true to the concept
