Design thinking, technical understanding.
BIM Connect Interior is the interior design practice within BIM Connect. The studio combines interior design, digital modelling, technical documentation, visualization and coordination.
We think those capabilities belong together. A design that cannot be documented, coordinated and built is only an image. A drawing without a design idea is only paperwork. Our work sits where the two meet.
Principles
A few things that shape how we approach every project, regardless of size.
People
A space should be designed around the people who use it, not around how it will photograph. We start from how a room is actually lived in or worked in — who moves through it, when, and for how long — and let that shape the layout before the finishes.
Place
Every project responds to its context — the building it sits inside, the climate, the city. An interior that ignores the architecture around it tends to need reworking once it meets that architecture on site.
Material
Materials are chosen for how they contribute to atmosphere, performance and identity, not just how they read in a sample or a render. That means testing choices against a room’s real light, traffic and adjacent surfaces before they are specified.
Detail
The quality of an interior is often found where materials, geometry and construction meet — a junction, a reveal, a threshold. These are usually the last things drawn and the first things noticed, so we resolve them early rather than leaving them to site.
Connection
Interior design should remain connected to the architecture, structure and services around it throughout the project, not just at handover. This is why we develop interiors inside the same coordinated model as the rest of the building.
Delivery
A good idea should remain intact as it moves from concept to drawing to construction. That takes documentation the design idea can survive being built from — which is as much a design responsibility as the concept itself.
