NATASA TUOHY PROCESS

Tailored Design Journeys

Every project is unique. We offer specialized processes for residential owners, developers, and international clients, ensuring excellence across all scales and locations.

A comprehensive, end-to-end design journey for townhouse and condominium owners—covering renovation, interior design, custom millwork design and fabrication, furnishings, and collaboration with art galleries, all aligned with New York building standards and compliance, acting as your design lead and single point of coordination.

Phase 01.

Discover & Define

(Pre-Design / Feasibility)

Every project begins with a rigorous understanding of context, lifestyle, and intent. Through site visits and a careful analysis of existing conditions, we articulate a clear project vision, defining scope, priorities, and spatial potential.

This phase includes frameworks specific to New York, alongside the strategic assembly of the consultants team. Each decision is measured, ensuring a precise and informed foundation for the Schematic Design (SD) phase.

This stage establishes the intellectual and strategic groundwork for a refined and enduring architectural outcome.

Key Deliverables

Phase 02.

Design & Develop

(Schematic Design / Design Development)

The project vision is translated into a cohesive architectural and interior expression, where concept and spatial clarity begin to take form. During Schematic Design, we establish planning strategies, spatial relationships, and the overall design direction.

As the process advances into Design Development, the work is refined through materiality, detailing, lighting, and custom elements. Close collaboration with consultants, fabricators, and contractors ensures alignment between design intent, budget, and constructability—bringing precision to every layer of the project.

At this stage, the design is rigorously shaped, balancing conceptual clarity with technical resolution.

Phase 03.

Document & Coordinate

(Construction Documentation / Permitting)

With the design fully resolved, the project advances into a phase of technical precision and coordination. Detailed Construction Documents and specifications are developed, translating the design intent into a comprehensive and executable framework.

This stage involves close collaboration with licensed consultants, general contractors, fabricators, and building authorities to ensure alignment across all disciplines. Regulatory approvals, permitting processes, and construction readiness are carefully managed, ensuring a seamless transition from design to build.

For condominium and townhouse projects, we liaise directly with building management and boards, overseeing due diligence, documentation, and submission processes with precision. This ensures efficient navigation of approvals and full compliance within New York’s regulatory landscape.

Technical rigor and coordination establish the framework for a controlled and successful construction process.

Key Deliverables

Phase 04.

Deliver & Complete

(Construction Administration)

During construction, we maintain an active and discerning presence to ensure the design is executed with precision and fidelity. Through ongoing site engagement and close collaboration with contractors, fabricators, and installers, we uphold the integrity of the design intent at every stage.

We oversee critical decisions, address site conditions, and guide the process to ensure quality, accuracy, and alignment with the approved vision.

Continuous oversight ensures the project is realized with clarity, craftsmanship, and exacting standards.

Key Deliverables

Phase 05.

Furnish, Install & Finalize

(FF&E / Styling)

The final phase brings the project to completion through a curated and highly detailed approach to interiors. We develop precise furniture layouts and oversee the coordination, procurement, and installation of furnishings, lighting, and custom elements.

Working closely with trusted vendors, leading galleries, and European artisans, we incorporate carefully selected pieces that reflect craftsmanship, heritage, and refined sophistication. Each element is thoughtfully integrated to create a layered, cohesive environment. Final styling is approached with precision and restraint, ensuring a timeless and elevated result.

The project is brought to its full expression—crafted with intention, enriched by European sensibility, and ready to be lived in.

Key Deliverables

A strategic interior design approach for developers—shaping layouts, material finishes, and spatial consistency across multi-unit residential projects

Phase 01.

Due Diligence & Scope Definition

(Interiors / Feasibility)

Each project begins with a detailed evaluation of interior conditions, spatial potential, and building-specific requirements. We review layouts, existing finishes, built-ins, and infrastructure—including lighting, AV, and technical systems—to define opportunities and constraints.

We assess alteration agreements, building management guidelines, and applicable local regulations as they relate to interior scope. Early coordination ensures clarity around custom millwork, material finishes, furnishings, and integrated systems, establishing a precise and informed project direction.

Early-stage clarity aligns interior design intent with technical, regulatory, and functional realities.

Key Deliverables

Phase 02.

Design Development

(Interiors / Systems Integration)

The project evolves through a coordinated interior design process, where layouts, materiality, and technical systems are developed into a cohesive and scalable framework. Emphasis is placed on spatial efficiency, consistency across units, and the integration of custom elements.

We define interior layouts, material palettes, custom millwork, and built-in components, while coordinating lighting, AV, and technical systems to ensure seamless functionality. This phase establishes clear design standards and specifications, aligning aesthetics with performance, budget, and constructability.

Design is refined into a precise, repeatable system—balancing visual clarity with technical execution.

Key Deliverables

Phase 03.

Documentation & Approvals

(Interiors / Compliance)

The project is translated into a comprehensive set of interior construction documents and approval packages, ensuring clarity, precision, and readiness for execution. All drawings and specifications are developed to meet building, board, and Department of Buildings (DOB) requirements specific to New York.

We coordinate closely with licensed professionals, expediters, and building management to prepare submission packages, navigate approval processes, and support contractor bidding. Particular attention is given to custom millwork, finishes, built-ins, and integrated systems to ensure alignment between design intent and technical execution.

Thorough documentation and coordination ensure a seamless path from approval to construction.

Key Deliverables

Phase 04.

Construction Oversight & Close-Out

(Interiors Execution)

During construction, we maintain an active role to ensure the interior design is executed with precision, consistency, and adherence to approved documentation. We coordinate closely with contractors, consultants, and building management to monitor progress, address site conditions, and uphold design intent across all units and common areas.

Particular attention is given to the execution of custom millwork, finishes, built-ins, and integrated systems, ensuring quality and alignment with project standards. Upon completion, we support inspections, punch list resolution, and final detailing to deliver a cohesive, market-ready interior environment.

Careful oversight ensures the project is realized with clarity, consistency, and a high level of finish.

Key Deliverables

A globally minded design process for private residences and villas, integrating local expertise with refined international vision

Phase 01.

Discover & Define

(Global Pre-Design / Feasibility)
