Maris joins renovation teams before the expensive parts lock: room sequence, finish language, lighting hierarchy, millwork intent, and the quiet details that keep a house coherent.

Process
The renovation path
The work is deliberately narrow at first. Fewer open questions mean stronger drawings, better bids, and calmer site decisions.
01
Read the house
Existing light, circulation, storage, and threshold issues are documented before solutions are proposed.
02
Set the material grammar
The studio defines the stone, timber, metal, plaster, and textile rules that should repeat.
03
Coordinate the decisions
Selections are sequenced around drawing deadlines, builder questions, and procurement lead times.
04
Protect the edit
Late-stage alternatives are filtered against the original room logic instead of trend pressure.
What is managed
Architectural decision set
Each decision object is small enough to approve and durable enough to guide the next trade conversation.
Object 01
Plan and thresholds
Room adjacencies, sightlines, passage widths, and where built-ins should solve friction.
Object 02
Finish register
Primary and secondary finishes assigned by room role, maintenance, and visual weight.
Object 03
Lighting hierarchy
Ambient, task, decorative, and architectural light coordinated before fixture selection.
Object 04
Site answers
A running list of decisions builders need in clear language, not scattered references.
Coordination
Where Maris helps architects and builders
The studio does not replace the architect or builder. It gives the interior decisions enough structure that drawings, bids, and procurement can move with less backtracking.
Before permit set
Drawing review
Interior use cases checked against the plan while changes are still cheap.
Before allowances drift
Finish meetings
Surface and fixture decisions grouped by real dependencies.
During construction
Site questions
Responses filtered through the approved palette and room priorities.

Bring Maris in before drawings feel final
Share plans, room priorities, timeline, and where decisions already feel unresolved. The studio will respond with fit and a clear first step.
