KT Interior Architectural Studio

ABOUT US

Kobus Truter, along with his diverse and multifaceted team, are characterised by a holistic approach to their turnkey services.

The belief that the parts of something are intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole.

This allows us to focus on the very essence of a human’s senses, interrogating every detail to achieve an enhanced and all encompassing design experience creating environments that fulfil needs and a sense of longing.

Residential homes that are functional, practical, elegant and make sense to the people who live in them.

Commercial spaces designed to make people feel comfortable, while maintaining integrity, ethos and purpose, spaces that express a brand’s identity and DNA.

Drawing inspiration from travels, elements in nature, colour and textures, human behaviour, consumer psyche, leads us to design exceptional spaces.

We offer a complete design service, from concept, design, procurement, and hands-on involvement with the final build, styling and final handover. Every project is treated with care and detail, each unique space is celebrated and customised.

We ensure the vision of every brief is achieved.

OUR PROCESS

Phase 1: Concept Design

Based on the client’s brief further research on location, brand and target market is done to formalize the design concept. Visual images of mood, materials, palette and precedent studies are used to formulate the design language to start the design development.

Phase 2: Design Development

When the concept is approved the 2D Sketch layouts are developed to fit the concept and brief into the given space. On approval of the sketch layout the 3D development and design starts. Looking at shape, form, finishes and design elements to bring the concept to life. The client is consulted throughout the process to provide input on the design look and feel.

Phase 3: Technical

When the design proposal is approved by the client the technical documentation starts. This consists of a full technical construction pack with all the relevant information that the building contractors will need to execute the design flawlessly.

Phase 4: Costing

An estimated budget is presented to the client based on the conceptual design. Once technical documentation is completed, a final budget is formalized within a strict tender process which is then issued to the client for approval.

Phase 5: Project Management and Delivery

The KT team is very hands-on once the project commences. Project Management and on-site management is done by the KT team throughout the construction phase. The week before handover the KT team will be on site setting up all the final details. We are passionate about every design, and feel we need to be on site to ensure all is done as per our vision.

Phase 6: Handover

KT Interiors strive to complete all projects on time and within budget. An effective handover will be done with the client to guide them through key information and documentation, maintenance manuals, warranties and compliance documents.
