Synthesis

Design Philosophy
Harmony
We bridge the gap between distinct ideas and reality. By understanding the essence of what you love, I fuse different expressions into a unified "third style." The result is an unexpected aesthetic that feels entirely new, yet undeniably yours.
Elevation
I don't just accept ideas; I interrogate them with respect. By asking "why," I uncover the vision you are seeing that I am not. This allows me to redirect the design toward a better destination—evolving initial inspiration into a polished reality.
Identity
You provide the raw materials; I provide the structure. Through deep conversation and personal mood boards, I distill your scattered inspirations into something tangible. We turn the chaos of your likes into the order of your home.

The ‘Lean’ Studio

Invest in your home, not our overheads.

We believe that every dollar of your budget should be visible in the final build. Unlike volume firms burdened by high showroom rentals and sales quotas, we operate as a specialized, agile practice. We channel your investment directly into tangible quality.

01 / MATERIALITY

Superior Material Allocation

With lower operational costs, we reallocate funds to premium materials, upgraded hardware, and skilled craftsmanship. You receive higher specifications for the exact same budget.

02 / TRANSPARENCY

Zero Hidden Overheads

Standard quotes often hide "invisible costs" like showroom rent, admin payroll, and electricity bills. We strip these away. Your budget funds your home, not our business expenses.

03 / SAVINGS

Immediate GST Advantage

As a boutique independent studio, we are not GST-registered. You automatically save the 9% tax compared to larger firms—capital that stays in your pocket or goes back into the build.

04 / DIRECTNESS

No Commissioned Middlemen

Volume firms deduct a significant percentage of your contract to pay sales commissions. At Luna Studio, there are no "Sales IDs" taking a cut. You pay only for professional design.

Precision Drafting Suite

The visual definition of your home.

Ambiguity is the enemy of construction. I don't just provide a 'feel' for the room; I provide the comprehensive instruction manual to build it. Every detail is documented to the millimeter, leaving no room for guesswork.

01 / DOCUMENTATION

Visual & Spatial Definition

We bridge the gap between vision and construction. You receive high-fidelity 3D renders to visualize the aesthetic destination, paired with detailed carpentry elevations that map the technical journey for the builders.

02 / AUTHORITY

Millimeter-Perfect Control

My drafting acts as the definitive site rulebook. We document every electrical point, joinery gap, and material transition with engineering logic—eliminating "on-site improvisation" and ensuring the build matches the design exactly.

Quote Beyond the Bottom Line

Zero Ambiguity vs. The Variation Trap

This is why a short quote is the most expensive paper you will ever sign. When you compare, don't just look at the bottom line—look at the line items.

⚠ The "Lazy Quote"
  • The "Lowball" Trap They use unrealistic allowances to fake a cheaper price. The moment you pick decent materials, you are forced into expensive "top-up" bills.
  • Unspecified Brands No brand listed = lowest quality installed. If it just says "Vinyl Flooring," they will use the cheapest grade to maximize profit.
  • Execution Shortcuts Short descriptions allow contractors to use the easiest, ugliest routing methods. Fixing it later costs you double.
✔ The Luna Spec
  • Realistic Precision We define specific brands from Day 1. We budget for quality upfront so your costs don't explode.
  • Defined Specifications We list specific hardware brands, material codes, and grades. No ambiguity means no surprise costs.
  • Pre-Calculated Logic Wastage and overlay methods are planned now, acting as a strict instruction manual for the site.
Real Case Study: Competitor's $81k quote was 2 pages. Luna's is 10+ pages.
Don't let a thin quote lead to a fat bill later.
