ARCHITECTURE, INTERIORS & LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR Cohesive PROJECTS
From first site reading to final detail, Mackinnon Design brings architecture, interiors and landscape design into one considered process.
Design
We design places by considering buildings, interiors and landscapes together. From architecture and building design to planting and interior details, our work begins with an understanding of the land, the people who will use it and how each space should feel over time.
Project Management
We help carry the design through delivery with careful oversight of the decisions, people and resources involved. Our support can include project management, contract administration, sourcing and cost estimation, bringing clarity to the process as the work takes shape.
Planning
We guide projects through the planning process with a clear understanding of their setting and requirements. This may involve preparing reports, developing planning material and liaising with relevant stakeholders to help move the project forward.
Fundraising
We help give early ideas the shape and clarity they need to gain support. Through feasibility studies, business planning, grant writing, pitch decks, visual impact assessments and conceptual advice, we make the project’s potential easier to understand and communicate.
OUR PROCESS DESIGNED FOR CLARITY
A clear process protects the quality of the outcome, giving each stage the space, structure and attention it needs.
-
We begin by listening to you and spending time with the land. Together, we explore how you want to use the space and what the site is telling us, from its light and contours to the way it feels. This understanding becomes the foundation for every decision that follows.
-
We bring our first ideas to you as a starting point for conversation. Together, we consider how spaces might connect, where moments of shelter or openness belong, and how the design can sit naturally within the landscape.
-
As the direction takes shape, we refine it with your input. We consider materials, planting and the details of daily use in relation to the land, so each choice feels considered and the whole landscape works in harmony.
-
We prepare clear documentation to carry the design through to its next stage. As questions arise, we’re here to offer guidance, helping the original vision stay connected to the place as it becomes real.
