inside design Information

Inside started as a collaboration between Neville Parker and Paul de Lisle back in 1999 when Neville was asked to undertake a large office design project within a very tight timeframe. Neville knew of Paul's legendary ability to manage difficult building projects and approached him for help. The project quadrupled in size within the first two weeks (a merger of two companies ) - but we delivered on time, on budget and to design expectation. And so began Inside. We've been involved in just about every facet of building and interior design. There are a few fundamental practice philosophies that we stick by: 1. We design from the inside - the function of any space, be it house or office or commercial building, will drive our design thinking (and that's why we're called "inside"). 2. Always having an eye on buildability is our edge - that combined ability to creatively design then scrutinise for how it might be successfully turned into reality is what sets us apart from others in our profession. 3. Communication is key within the office. We all sit close together. We all work on the same projects. We all contribute to discussions. 4. We will always try to be more accommodating than most. We understand that for some of our clients, the design process is reasonably foreign, so we will help them through. 5. Our office will always be a relaxed, open and friendly place to be. There are no enclosed rooms at our place - most meetings are held around our central tall table.
