Asked and answered.

Thirty minutes, on the phone or on video. You describe your space and your children; we tell you plainly which service fits — or that we're not the right studio for what you need. It's a conversation, not a pitch: nothing is designed yet, nothing has to be decided on the spot.

In order: the Studio Call, then a study of your children — ages, temperaments, how they actually play — then a study of the room itself, then the design (layout first, then storage, furnishings, and materials), then the build and install, and finally a handover that explains why everything is where it is.

The full methodology, on the About page

Yes. You see the full design — plan, elevations, and the reasoning behind every item — and you approve it before anything is ordered.

Every project has a design fee — what you pay us for the thinking, the layout, and the full specification — and a furnishings and build budget, which is what the room itself costs. We separate them because they answer different questions: one is our work, the other is your room. Blending them into one number hides where the money goes.

The numbers, on the Services page

The study of your children and your room, the layout, the full design — plan, elevations, and an item-by-item specification — and the reasoning behind all of it, revised with you until you approve it. It's the work that makes the room a design rather than a shopping list.

Yes. Everything specified is purchased through the studio and billed separately from the design fee. Three reasons: trade access gets better pieces at better prices than retail; a finished room means coordinating dozens of deliveries, and that coordination is the job; and when something arrives damaged, one party is accountable for making it right — us.

Our projects generally start around $28,000 all-in, and we'd rather say that plainly than twenty minutes into a call. It isn't a permanent no — rooms change, budgets change. In the meantime, the Playroom Planning Guide is free and genuinely useful; most of what makes a room work for children costs thought, not money.

It depends on the service. Collection excludes construction entirely. Swift and Atelier both include a construction estimate as part of the design; Atelier adds hands-on construction management, where we coordinate the trades and hold the design intent through the build.

Yes. Swift and Atelier are available for schools, pediatric and therapy practices, family-focused businesses, and community spaces — anywhere children use a room and the room should work for them.

That's the normal case, and it's a design question rather than a problem. Different ages need different things from the same room — a three-year-old needs reach and permission to move; an eight-year-old needs territory and things that are theirs. The design gives each child a zone that answers their age and keeps the zones from fighting each other.

Rooms are designed for who a child is becoming, not just who they are now, so the core layout has years in it. Every project also ends with a handover that includes how the room adapts as your children grow — what to change, when, and what to leave alone.

One room is the normal case. Most of our projects are a single playroom, bedroom, or bonus room, designed and installed completely.
