the studio

concept design colour finish is an interior design studio based in essendon, melbourne, working across residential and commercial interiors.

our work begins with people and place. the brief, the architecture and the way a space will be lived in guide a design that is individual to each project. natural stone, timber, colour and texture bring character, with joinery, furniture and lighting considered as part of the whole.

close collaboration with clients, architects, building designers, builders, suppliers and trades shapes the process from the first conversation to the final detail.

our approach

each project follows its own course. our process gives the ideas room to develop, with a clear conversation between the client and the wider project team at every stage.

research + analysis
we listen, explore the brief and understand the architecture, routines and practical requirements that will guide the design.

concept development
planning, materials, colour and form establish the direction, bringing the early ideas into a shared vision.

design development
drawings, visualisations and detailed selections refine the concept, resolving the relationships between spaces, finishes, joinery, furniture and lighting.

implementation
we work with builders, suppliers and trades through construction and installation, carrying the design decisions into the details of the interior.

completion
furniture, art and the final layers bring the spaces together, ready to become part of everyday life.
