Following an initial thorough interrogative phase we
will bring together select imagery and materials for first
presentation, our intention to prompt collaborative
dialogue, further defining the ambitions of the design.
Once a definitive language for the scheme has been
reached we will begin establishing the direction of the
concept proposal. This will be produced in a variety of
media, from indicative mood boards, hand drawn sketches
to physical samples and specifications.

All materials and presentations issued by Morpheus
are beautifully packaged, easily interpreted and supported
by articulate face-to-face reasoning as to how we have
derived a particular design DNA for a project. We then
allow our client time to digest and respond to our ideas
- revising them appropriately based on their feedback.
From the approved concept we can then produce
photorealistic renderings for final sign-off, further offering
reassurance that the final deliverable remains as true to
the original intent as possible.

Communi ca t e& Co l labo ra t e
We ar e emp loyed t o in t e r p r e t th e d r eams o f our c l i en t s and make th em a r ea l i t y.
At Morpheus we realise, more than most, that no two
projects or clients are the same and that we are engaged
to interpret the dreams of our clients and make them a
reality. This requires strong communication and effective
collaborations.
Our approach is a tailored one, unique to every commission.
It is very important to us that our clients feel engaged
with their project and we have the infrastructure in place
to ensure that no matter how much or how little time
a client has, decisions can be made in a timely yet
unpressured fashion.
16
Second only to the importance of our client relationships
are those with our suppliers and craftsmen. We are
focused on being masters of our trade and have
established collaborative relationships with a variety
of multi-disciplinary specialists who come together to
provide a seamless creative energy.
From the technical, such as audio visual and lighting, to
the aesthetic, such as artwork and landscaping, Morpheus
are complemented by the most appropriate handpicked
professionals to best suit the individual characteristics
of each commission.

Morpheus regards its detail design phase as fundamental
to the successful implementation of a project. We employ
a number of qualified architects and specialist furniture
designers who ensure our concept designs can be feasibly
taken from paper to reality - this starts with our technical
drawing phase.
Supporting and cross-referenced to these technical
drawings are comprehensive schedules, budgets,
procurement lists and timescales, ensuring everything
can be brought together in an agreed delivery window
and within budget.

Our team will then manage the installation of all our
deliverables on site, monitor quality control and dress
the spaces for handover to the client - a full turnkey
offering, with tables set and beds made.
