Our Process
1. Discovery Call
This call helps us understand what you’re building and what you need. We review your goals, project requirements, timeline, and budget so we can determine fit and align from the start.
2. Brand Strategy
We take a deep look at your brand’s world.
Its character, audience, competitors, and differentiation, to build a clear strategic foundation that informs design and decision-making.
3. Concept Development
This phase transforms strategy into design. We develop concept options, refine the chosen direction, and visualize it through mood boards, layouts, prototypes, or 3D renderings.
4. Design Implementation
The approved concept becomes a detailed design, with refined layouts, materials, and brand applications, and all files prepared for production across digital, print, and spatial elements.
5. Documentation & Submission
Depending on your project scope, brand guidelines and technical documents for permits, tender, and construction coordination are delivered to support precise execution.
6. Post-Completion
As we finish, our final review includes performance insights, client feedback, and photography to record and assess the project.
Every project is different, these are some of the questions that usually come up:
1. What is integrated branding and interior design?
Integrated branding and interior design develops brand strategy, visual identity, and spatial design together from the start, ensuring your physical environment authentically expresses your brand.
2. Why combine branding and interior design under one studio?
Combining both under one studio eliminates disconnect, ensuring visual identity, messaging, spatial design, and environmental graphics work as a unified system that strengthens brand recognition.
3. What are the benefits of combining branding and interior design?
Benefits include cohesive brand expression, streamlined communication, faster timelines, cost efficiency, and spaces that authentically reflect brand identity rather than feeling applied as an afterthought.
4. What's the difference between working with one studio vs separate branding and interior design firms?
One studio ensures brand and space develop together with shared vision, while separate firms often create misalignment, duplicated efforts, and spaces where branding feels disconnected.
5. Can branding and interior design be commissioned separately?
Yes. We offer standalone services for clients with established brands or existing spaces, though our integrated approach delivers the most cohesive results.
6. What industries does Tardigrada specialize in?
We specialize in boutique hospitality, food and beverage, wellness, and retail industries where brand experience and physical environment are inseparable from business success.
7. What projects are best suited for integrated branding and interior design?
New ventures, businesses expanding to new locations, brands undergoing repositioning, and projects where guest experience and brand differentiation are critical benefit most.
8. Do you work on renovations or only new builds?
We work on both—refreshing existing spaces to align with evolved branding or creating brand and environment from the ground up.
9. What does branding and interior design for boutique hotels include?
Projects include brand strategy, visual identity, guest room and public space design, environmental graphics, wayfinding, digital presence, branded amenities, and touchpoints from booking through checkout.
10. What does branding and interior design for wellness centers include?
Projects include brand strategy, calming visual identity, treatment room and reception design, wayfinding, digital booking experiences, retail packaging, and materials communicating your wellbeing philosophy.
11. How much does integrated branding and interior design cost?
Costs vary based on scope and square footage, typically ranging from low six figures for smaller projects to mid-high six figures for comprehensive concepts, with design fees at 10-20% of construction costs.
12. What is the ROI of integrated branding and interior design?
ROI comes from stronger brand differentiation, premium pricing capability, cohesive experiences driving loyalty, optimized space efficiency, reduced timelines from streamlined coordination, and increased property value.
13. At what stage should we involve your studio?
As early as possible—ideally during concept development, feasibility, or lease negotiation—so branding and spatial design inform each other from the start.
14. How long does a branding and interior design project take?
Integrated projects typically take 6-18 months: branding and concept development (3-4 months), design documentation and permitting (2-3 months), construction with administration (4-12 months).
15. What's the first step to get started?
An initial consultation to discuss your vision, goals, timeline, and budget, followed by a proposal outlining scope, process, and investment for your project.
