Designing Better Contexts for Living
CONTEXT DESIGN charges $150 per hour*
When you live in a bustling city like New York, your home has to be a sanctuary. Before you buy new furniture or costly improvements, let us help you realize your space's potential.
Initial Consultation
If you're unhappy with your home or work environment, and want a fresh, experienced perspective email us with a brief description of your project. Feel free to include a few pictures or a floor plan and outline your goals and needs for the space. What do you like and dislike about the room(s)? We will review and email you back to let you know if we can help- if yes, we will set up a $250 site visit plus charge a minimum of $750 for 5 hours of work. We will also email you an agreement for suggested design services. (Please note all fees are charged an additional NYC interior design tax of 4.38% so deposit of $1004.38)
Site Visit
$250 (within Brooklyn-extra travel time outside of Brooklyn)
Our Principal designer will spend about an hour talking with you and looking over the space to confirm the scope of work and answer questions, after which we will email suggestions for quick, effective changes as well as more extensive design and contractor work if needed.
Consultation & Reorganization
$150 per hour (Minimum $750 retainer required)
After our site visit, Context will prepare a short proposal outlining time and costs to implement suggestions using your own belongings. It is remarkable how quickly basic changes can transform your space for just the cost of our time. Often we can complete this phase while you're out for the day, so you can return home to instant gratification. If we feel it is necessary to make other purchases or do other work we can explore the possibilities with you after the site visit and initial work is complete. What is important is that you remain in control of the process and budget.
Design & Specifications
If after the site visit, If you choose to do more extensive reorganizing or remodeling work, Context can prepare plans, elevations and specifications. If structural work is necessary, we are delighted to help you work with an engineer or Architect/expediter to approve your plans and attain necessary permits.
Proposal & Retainer
If you hire us to do more than the 5 hour minimum, Context asks clients to pay a $1500 non-refundable retainer via Venmo or Zellie (twice the minimum fee) and then sign and return our updated proposal. Client will be billed every week for services and project-related expenses. The deposit will be deducted from the final bill.
Open Effective Communication is the key to a successful project, and clear contracts are the best way to ensure that everyone is on the same page. We hope we can help you create a wonderful sanctuary!
