By Liv Johnson Design
Services rendered: Interior design
Builder Designer: Aboda Design Group
Builder: Menzie Designer Homes
With a Bachelor of Interior design coupled with extensive industry experience from some of the top Architectural and Interior design firms in Sydney, Liv has a body of work that demonstrates her timeless and classic style, her attention to detail, and clever use of natural materials, feature lighting and fixtures coupled with inspiration drawn from the local landscape.
Focused on the specifics of each brief, her work also reflects her client's unique visions and lifestyles. Her interior design shows constraint and subtlety, with the introduction of layers that are enhanced by individual curated furniture and art. Liv can also be consulted in the selection of furniture and finishings for display suites and commercial and residential properties.
MORE THAN AN INTERIOR DESIGNER
Liv is so much more than an interior designer in the traditional sense. With extensive experience working with developers, architects, builders and tradespeople, she has the ability to provide her clients with a holistic solution. This depth of skill set and hands-on approach makes her an asset to the management and delivery of any project.
END TO END DESIGN DOCUMENTATION
A key point of difference is her innate understanding of the building and construction process with a focus on architectural detailing and design documentation. Liv’s process is all about creating clear and specific documentation to match her vision. Her design documentation assists clients with the tender process, from her network of builders and tradespeople, to quote on the tailored scope of works each project holds. It also helps with sourcing and costings to determine project lead times. This documentation is also helpful for liaising with the council and organising the requirements for DA & CC approvals.
Liv creates construction drawing packages that will be used for an entirety of a project. Clients and tradespeople can use this documentation as a reference point for all specifics of the internal build.
COLLABORATION IS KEY
Liv believes in creating solid relationships with her clients and tradespeople making idea generation and collaboration an integral part of the design process.
She provides a personalised approach to what is a very complex and nuanced process of planning, designing and executing new buildings, or fitting out and renovating existing ones. This can be seen by the number of repeat business clients that she has and the high level of work demonstrated in her portfolio.
