Familiar with the nuances of efficient lighting design, trust OLIVA to create a strategic lighting plan that facilitates the efficient use of space, and adds the richness, color, intimacy, or brightness that every room and occasion requires.

THE PROCESS

Join OLIVA on a journey that covers all aspects of your project with creative flair, precise information, and meticulous attention to detail, to provide transparency and create a smooth and pleasant workflow.
Let's brainstorm
DISCOVERY / CLIENT BRIEF
Great design stems from great ideas, and those ideas are best motivated by qualitative and quantitative goals that provide long-term satisfaction. Through an in-depth discovery session with our clients, we can quickly identify pain points, wants, needs, and even common misconceptions about the design process, and thusly begin a wonderful relationship of trust.
Looking at a blank canvas
SPACE ASSESMENT
By carefully evaluating the dimensions, limitations, opportunities, occupancy goals, safety requirements, and other engineering considerations, we can identify efficient uses of space that translate into more efficient and sustainable design and materials selection.
All things considered
INVENTORY
At OLIVA, we believe that waste is disrespectful. For a new project, when decorating or when renovating a space, it's important to be mindful of existing elements, which promotes sustainability. By collecting, centralizing, and cataloging your current elements, we are able to bring new life to forgotten objects, repurpose useful materials, extend the life of existing furniture, and much more.
Setting Boundries
BUDGETING / SCHEDULING
It is said that one hour of planning will save us 10 hours of doing. By defining budget and time expectations from the beginning, we can create a clear, collaborative framework that allows us to do our best work and helps everyone enjoy the design experience.
We lay the foundation
INITIAL DESIGN
The first plans, building scans, layouts, and mockups are drawn to scale and presented to the client using efficient digital visualization, cloud-based file-sharing, and real-time collaboration tools. Decisions and clear, objective feedback is exchange to arrive at actionable items for our next discussions.
On the hunt
SOURCING & CONTRACTING
Once space considerations are considered, occupancy goals are addresses, and design decisions are edited, the OLIVA team accesses our wealth of industry-leading resources to identify the materials, furniture, objects, contractors, and other elements to produce the project while meeting your specific criteria.
Everything comes together
INSTALLATION
The installation phase is exciting and not without its challenges. That's why we provide clients remote and on-site support and only work with top-vetted partners to complete our residential commercial and art consulting projects. Throughout the execution of the design plan, all teams and shareholders are informed and integrated for increased efficiency.
