A HOLA project is led with the same discipline from start to finish. We combine creative direction with precise planning and delivery.
You can expect:
- Clear stages and milestones – so you always know what happens next
- Informed decisions – supported by visuals, options and clear recommendations
- One accountable partner – a single point of contact and full responsibility
- Consistency of the concept – from first idea to final details
- Quality control – protecting the intended standard throughout delivery
Foundation: listening and strategy
To ensure total clarity from the outset, we start with a structured discovery phase focused on your taste and priorities. We use a dedicated questionnaire to map out functional and aesthetic details, followed by a collaborative review via personal or online meeting. This allows us to walk through every fine detail and expectation, ensuring nothing is missed– so the direction is clear from the start.
Concept: vision and direction
At the concept stage, we explore the space’s practical potential before focusing on aesthetics. We develop a functional layout, fine-tuning it through iterations until it meets your full approval. Once the layout is set, we create a detailed 3D model and develop the concept through high-end visuals. These photorealistic views clarify proportions, lighting, and atmosphere. Materials and finishes are integrated throughout this process or finalized right after the visual concept is approved.
Design: detailing and documentation
Once the conceptual vision is finalized and approved, we transition into the most rigorous phase of our process: Technical Design. We translate our creative ideas into a comprehensive and precise execution package that serves as a definitive blueprint for your project. This extensive documentation includes meticulous dimensioned plans, intricate elevations, and detailed sections. We go beyond the standard by providing bespoke furniture drawings and specialized joinery details, ensuring that every custom element is clearly defined. Our goal is to ensure that the final physical space is an uncompromising reflection of the original design.
Procurement: comprehensive costing and specifications
Alongside your technical package, we provide a detailed procurement list and comprehensive budget estimation. This schedule covers every single element specified in the project, featuring itemized pricing for both uniquely custom-crafted components and carefully selected ready-made pieces from premium manufacturers. For the execution phase, we work exclusively with a highly selective circle of contractors who specialize in high-end interiors. These are artisans and specialists who truly understand the precision our designs demand.
Delivery: supervision, coordination and completion
For delivery, we offer several support models – from on-site consultations and author’s supervision focused on design consistency, to full coordination and turnkey completion. We believe the turnkey approach offers the most seamless experience, as it allows us to lift the entire burden of coordination from your shoulders while overseeing every detail with absolute precision. Regardless of the chosen model, we can recommend trusted teams we work with regularly – capable of executing the full scope and supplying the required elements. We can also organise direct deliveries of selected or all materials and furnishings to your property, coordinated through our studio.
A standard confirmed by experience and awards
Our international recognition and 21 years of practice translate into something very concrete: a process that protects the concept, the quality and the final result. You receive uncompromising quality through a trusted network of craftsmen, artists and suppliers, a timeless aesthetic built to retain its value, and a discreet partner throughout the entire journey – with personal oversight by the founders.
Compliance: permits and administrative approvals
To ensure a smooth transition from vision to reality, we manage the full spectrum of administrative and legal requirements throughout the design phase. This includes navigating the complexities of building permit applications, securing specialized heritage or conservation approvals for historic properties, and managing any other necessary clearances. By acting as your professional representative before the authorities, we handle the intricacies of bureaucracy and technical compliance, providing you with peace of mind and a solid legal foundation for your investment long before the first day of construction
Choose the right collaboration model
Every project is different. We offer several ways of working – from design-only to full delivery support – always within the same structured framework.

A true project starts with listening. We believe a home is far more than a collection of beautiful objects, it is the backdrop for your daily rituals. Before we draw the first line, we want to understand your world: how you drink your morning coffee, how you unwind after an intense day, and whether you seek absolute silence. We design a safe haven tailored precisely to your unspoken needs.

Yes. The scope can be flexible – from consultations and support at a selected stage, through a partial project, to full-service design with delivery support.
Remote collaboration follows the same substantive stages as a local project. Communication happens online, and we provide materials in a clear, structured format (layouts, visuals, specifications, documentation). If needed, we agree on a practical workflow with local contractors.
Yes. We can propose different formats – from on-site consultations and design supervision focused on consistency with the concept, to broader coordination support depending on the agreed model.
Yes. In a turnkey model, we take responsibility for coordinating the process and bringing the investment to a completed, ready-to-use standard – aligned with the approved design and agreed quality level.
Yes. We work with trusted contractors and suppliers. We can recommend execution teams and organise deliveries of selected or all finishes and furnishings to your property.
Yes. We ensure full financial clarity by preparing detailed specifications for both disciplines. For architecture, we provide quotes for all work stages based on our trusted contractors.

These valuations are tailored to the project’s location, provided that we can ensure the involvement of proven specialists who align with our high-end standards.
The first step is a short introductory conversation and gathering key information about the investment (property type, size, location, current stage, scope, preferred timeline and budget). Based on this, we propose the right collaboration model and prepare an initial offer.
Yes. Budget helps us align the standard of finishes, solutions and the scope of work. We can work within different ranges – what matters is defining it consciously at the beginning.
Communication is structured and adapted to the collaboration model (meetings in the studio, on site or online). Each stage and revision is delivered in a clear format, and decisions are made at the right moment in the process to keep the project efficient and consistent.
Yes and no. Trends fade, but properties remain. We prioritize timelessness and “honest,” noble materials that age with grace. While we avoid fleeting fashion, we actively implement the latest technical innovations to enhance user comfort and the functional quality of every space.
Visualizations are only a communication tool. Real architecture is multi-sensory. A digital image cannot convey the scent of wood, the acoustics of a room, or the way light breaks across hand-brushed veneer. Our core principle is that the final realization must always be richer and more sensory than the best rendering. Physical interaction with the material is what builds a true sense of “being at home.”
Yes. To us, art is not a decorative afterthought – it is often the heart and soul of the space. We advise on building collections and sourcing unique forms, ensuring every piece has the right “breath,” the perfect backdrop, and flawless lighting. Art transforms a house into an authentic manifesto of its residents’ identity.
With immense humility. We believe that good architecture in a historical context should not scream. Our role is to listen to the history of the place. We painstakingly restore original details, blending them with modern sensitivity and masterful craftsmanship. We create a dialogue between the past and the present, ensuring the highest contemporary comfort within walls that have a soul.
For us, design and construction are one single, living organism. Our clients are successful individuals for whom time is the most valuable currency. That is why we serve as your single point of contact, managing design, schedules, suppliers and budgets.
Yes. Our advisory phase is the foundation of a successful investment. We advise on selecting land or apartments. Our goal is to protect your capital from the very beginning, ensuring that the chosen property can truly accommodate your architectural dreams.
In the premium segment, a great idea is only half the success – flawless execution is what matters. We work exclusively with trusted craftsmen who share our standards. Through rigorous supervision and logistical coordination, we ensure that bespoke elements sourced from around the world meet on-site with precision.
A modern residence is a “machine for living,” but the technology must remain invisible. Smart home systems, ventilation, and acoustics should support the residents silently without dominating the aesthetics. We design so that the architecture “absorbs” the technology, leaving only pure form and the highest level of daily comfort on display.
