Three Studies

From one room to a full floor plate

Three scoped studies covering residential zones, whole homes, and commercial spaces. Each produces a document you can act on.

Our Methodology

How a study is conducted

Every engagement starts with a scoping conversation — a brief exchange to confirm which study fits the space and the stage of the project. This is at no charge. From there, a site visit is scheduled, and on-site measurements are taken before any drawing begins.

The studio draws from measurement, not from memory or assumption. Where developer drawings exist, they are used as a reference — but are not relied upon, because built properties in Malaysia regularly differ from plan by enough to affect layout decisions.

Options are developed from a circulation-first position: before any piece of furniture is placed, the study maps how the space is entered, moved through, and exited. This shapes every placement that follows. The written notes that accompany each option explain the reasoning in plain language — what the option achieves, what it trades off, and what would have to change for it to be reconsidered.

01

Scope conversation

Brief call or message to confirm the right study and timeline. No charge.

02

On-site visit and measurement

Physical measurement of the space. All plans drawn from verified dimensions.

03

Layout development

Two or more options developed from a circulation-first position, with written reasoning for each.

04

Document delivery and revision

Final document delivered. Revision round(s) included per scope. Further changes quoted separately.

Single-plan layout study

Study 01

Single-Plan Layout Study

RM 380 per study

A focused engagement that looks at one floor of a home or one zone of a workplace and produces two layout options with a short written reasoning. Includes one on-site visit and one revision round. Suitable for households or businesses considering small interventions before a larger build, or weighing two arrangements of the same space.

Two layout options with written reasoning per option

One on-site visit included within Klang Valley

One revision round included

Delivery within 7–10 working days of the site visit

Document formatted for handover or personal use

Best for

One-room decisions — a living area, primary bedroom, or open-plan kitchen-dining zone. Also useful when weighing two arrangements of the same space before committing to purchases.

Study 02

Whole-Home Space Optimisation Study

RM 1,750 per study

A larger engagement covering all floors of a home, with proposed plans, circulation notes, and a short written narrative explaining each adjustment. Includes a final document suitable for handover to a designer or architect taking the work forward into documentation.

All floors of the property covered

Circulation notes explaining movement paths between zones

Written narrative per adjustment, not just a plan set

Two revision rounds included

Delivery within 14–21 working days of the site visit

Best for

Households considering a whole-home refresh or preparing for a renovation. Also suitable when a designer or architect needs a layout brief to work from before formal documentation begins.

Commercial space planning workshop

Study 03

Commercial Space-Planning Workshop

RM 2,650 per engagement

A workshop for offices, retail, or hospitality interiors, with a session on-site, a draft plan, and a structured options document. The output is prepared for procurement and operations review. Suitable for organisations considering a layout change without a full fit-out engagement.

On-site workshop session with key stakeholders

Draft plan with annotated layout options

Structured options document for procurement and operations teams

Two revision rounds included

Delivery within 10 working days of the on-site session

Best for

Offices, retail units, and hospitality spaces in Petaling Jaya and Bandar Sunway considering a layout change. Particularly suited to organisations that need a documented options brief before internal approval processes can proceed.

Across All Studies

Standards that apply to every engagement

Verified dimensions

Plans drawn from on-site measurement. Developer drawings used as reference only, not source of record.

Site data confidentiality

Measurements, photographs, and property details are not shared with third parties. Held securely and used only for the commissioned study.

Written scope before work begins

Every engagement is confirmed in writing with a clear statement of deliverables. No work proceeds without mutual agreement on scope and price.

Documented revision process

Revisions handled through a structured feedback round, not open-ended conversation. Keeps output coherent and timelines predictable.

Clear scope limits

Structural advice, building code compliance, and procurement decisions are outside Lumarae's remit. The studio is explicit about this from the first conversation.

Timeline accountability

Delivery timelines are stated in the scope and met. If circumstances change, clients are notified in advance — not after the deadline has passed.
