ARCHITECTURAL AUDIT

Architectural audit before purchase or renovation

You receive:

Analysis of the existing layout and its potential

Initial suggestions for optimisation or spatial redistribution

Identification of technical constraints

Preliminary budget estimate

If needed: comparative analysis of two properties

A comprehensive audit of your property before signing a purchase agreement or launching renovation works.

I assess the potential of the space, its technical constraints, and the budgetary implications; so you can make an informed decision based on concrete facts. This audit can also help you confirm your project, adjust your budget, or renegotiate a property if needed.

Why Architectural Expertise Matters

It involves technical, regulatory, and financial considerations that require professional analysis from the outset.

A renovation project is not just about aesthetics:

Design is not a question of luxury. It is a question of structure, safety, and strategy.

During the course of a project, the removal of a drop ceiling revealed an unauthorized opening into the neighboring apartment. Without an inspection beforehand, this situation could have led to significant legal and financial consequences.

Preventing technical and legal risks

01 – RISKS

A project carried out without a professional study resulted in errors in the technical drawings, particularly in the plumbing plans, leading to additional costs of over €100,000 for corrections.

Managing technical aspects and costs

02 – budget

In another project, the reconfiguration of the spaces, the addition of two bathrooms, and the installation of an air conditioning system significantly improved the property’s rental appeal and resale value.

Lasting property appreciation

03 – Value

Method

How a project unfolds: a clear process designed to ensure coherence and control at every stage.

Property Analysis

01

Study of the existing conditions: floor plan, structure, technical constraints, and architectural potential. This step identifies the real possibilities of the space.

Architectural Design

02

I define the project logic: spatial organisation, circulation, functionality, and volume balance. The project is then translated into plans and technical documents.

Pre-construction Preparation

03

Budget development, material selection, and site preparation to anticipate key decisions before works begin.

Execution

04

I coordinate the project with experienced professional teams I have worked with for over ten years. The objective is to ensure quality, coherence, and full control throughout.

The role of an interior designer

The role of an interior designer is to analyze the layout of a space, optimize its organization, and anticipate technical constraints in order to create a cohesive and sustainable design.

This approach makes it possible to create spaces that are functional, balanced, and well-suited to their intended use.

ABOUT

As an interior designer, I don't just rethink and create your living or work space; I make sure that my clients make a solid and sustainable investment. Before you commit to a purchase or renovation, I offer a pre-purchase inspection and structural survey. After checking everything behind the walls, including technical risks and legal constraints, I provide accurate renovation cost estimates to help you avoid unexpected additional invoices.
With me, you can get an independent, professional opinion about your future property. Before works begin, you will see the risk assessment and renovation feasibility analysis in full.
I have created and supervised the construction of high-end private mansions and apartments in Paris, as well as hotels, restaurants, and boutiques, for ten years. My network of trustworthy contractors and I are excited to create the space of your dreams while you keep enjoying your life.
