Our Strengths
At MIL Design we serve as both the designer and the contractor 2in1 for design and built projects, ensuring strong collaboration across all stages of the design and build. The aim is to achieve the right aesthetics, functions, ‘vibes’ of the place and even down to the finer details such as fengshui requirements.
Through a participatory and collaborative relationship with the Client we work to understand expectations work towards achieving the final dream project.
*For consultation only works we serve as the key designer for all interior works, preparation of drawings for construction, material specifications, and collaborate with the Main Contractor to maximize efficiency for site implementation. (For developers’ or commercial projects)
We do a paper- to- site method, we start from scratch design drawings, and material specifications to sign-off with the Client before commencing site implementation. We believe this model offers enormous benefits to our clients, as it means we can provide unity, consistency, and eliminate any guesswork from the process.
The trends of home and urban office styling are ever-changing, and at MIL Design we pride ourselves on providing our clients with the very best support and guidance in relation to concepts, layout designs, styling, material palettes, artworks and furniture selections – even the finer details like carpet and décor to truly finish the look.
From luxurious contemporary styles, rustic mid-century styles, mixed eclectic, tropical modern, minimalist clean-lined to many, many more, we are always up to trends or timeless concepts
Our design philosophy is simple – your vision, your needs. And it’s our mission to help you achieve this.
It’s the smaller details that can set apart the true professionals from the rest, and at MIL Design we believe our attention to detail is second to none. We pay rigorous attention to all aspects of our design and construction and give close consideration to our woodwork and joineries, as well as all building works.
We believe that when it comes to design and construction, cost does not always equal quality.
We’re passionate about creating clever spaces that keep costs down.
Through value engineering, we assist our clients to cross check on all materials and specs to achieve their ideal space and maintain design integrity, while simultaneously keeping within their budget requirements.
Our strong knowledge and experience of more than 20 years in all aspects of design & build works include not just interior architecture but also M&E, landscape & hardscape designs, lightings, acoustics, graphics and branding integration to the project.
We believe this truly benefits our clients as a one-point contact to complete from A-Z.
Our Process
A 1-hour design feasibility consultation with our founders Mil or Edward. This can be done through VC online or in person at our office.
Signing of Design Contract to appoint us.
Once appointed we will kick off with a 2-hour on-boarding design consultation meeting to finalize the client’s lifestyle concepts, preferred moods or styles, and any detailed requirements. This is when we will need to fully understand the client’s lifestyle requirements from their dreams, needs, personal collections, hobbies, to fengshui requirements of each of their family member.
On-going design meetings and design dialogues continue with the client where we will work on finalizing the concept, layout drawings and 3D renders for sign-off.
This is referred as Design Stage which normally takes 5 weeks.
This stage includes the final selection of the material selections, finishes, color codes & costing review.
This is also when we value engineer the designs by going back to the drawing board to finetune drawings in order to achieve a design and cost balance for the client’s sign-off.
