The commission
From a first conversation to a house that is unmistakably yours: how a REFABS commission unfolds.
It begins with a conversation about how you live: mornings and evenings, guests and solitude, the land and the light. You can start alone in the atelier, at your own pace.
Your house takes shape in three dimensions. You walk through it, move a wall, open a view, and see every change at once. Every decision stays visible, and yours.
Once the composition is yours, the atelier takes over. Each element is made with care and finished to the standard of a fine interior, well before it reaches your land.
Brought to your site and set in place, the house arrives as it was composed, considered down to the last detail.
— What stays yours
You can pause, return, revisit an early idea or start a second version beside the first. The composition is yours to keep, whichever way you decide.
It helps to know where. If you are still looking, we can begin from the way you want to live and the kind of place you imagine, and return to the site when it is yours.
Yes. Composing is meant for changing your mind. Nothing is fixed until you say so, and you see the consequence of every change as you make it.
Every house is composed for one person or family and one site. Two briefs never lead to the same house.
Every house is composed individually, and so is its budget. It takes shape alongside the design, so you always know where you stand.
With people. Our tools let you see and shape your house, but the commission is a conversation with the atelier from the first brief to the keys.

Start a private brief. Nothing is fixed until you say so.
