The stakes

Turning your intuitions into clear choices.

You come with a current or upcoming project, a wall build-up, a range of finishes or a sketch. We compare the materials hands-on, and you leave with a named list of the ones you have selected.

Settling doubts about feasibility.

Each material is examined alongside its performance and its installation requirements. Technical questions are answered in front of the sample, not in a data sheet.

Finding sustainable and sensible options.

Biobased materials, reclaimed materials and low-carbon options are all there, side by side. The session is as much for making decisions as for discovering what is out there.

The method

It compares materials; it does not write the specification.

The consultation does not produce a written report. You leave with the selected materials and their manufacturers' contact details: that is what accounts for the fee.

The consultation deals with a question, not a whole project. Writing the specification and weighing trade-offs across a whole design fall under the project study.
