    Open plan living is so often the goal in house renovation,  and there are huge advantages in having a combined kitchen / dining / living space.

    However, there are always options.

    One of the key questions we often explore is how ‘open’ is open plan?

    The project below is an example of how we work with clients to explore design options at the very start of a project, and establish the answers to these key questions.

    Using sketch design to get your project started

    At the beginning of a project, there are often multiple ideas that should be explored in order to identify the best way forward.

    Poynts Works uses straight forward sketch designs at the initial stage of a project, to quickly and efficiently identify key moves and priorities in the project brief.  Then we can focus on those as the project design progresses.
