SHOW HOMES & DEVELOPER INTERIORS

Designed to inspire. Created to sell.

MacLeod Atelier works with house builders and residential developers to create distinctive show homes that bring properties to life and help prospective purchasers imagine themselves living there.

From concept and interior design through to sourcing, installation and final styling, we create aspirational interiors that support the positioning of the development and are ready for launch.

DESIGNED AROUND THE BUYER

A finished bedroom interior with rich architectural detailing and layered furnishings

Designed around the buyer.

More than a beautifully presented interior.

A successful show home should communicate more than how a property could look. It should reflect the aspirations and lifestyle of the people the development has been created for.

Every scheme is developed specifically for the development, balancing aspiration with commercial relevance to create spaces that feel distinctive, memorable and attainable.

COMMERCIAL BY DESIGN

05 / 08

Beautiful interiors with a clear purpose.

A show home has a different role from a private residence.

It needs to create an emotional connection while communicating the lifestyle, quality and positioning of the development. It must photograph beautifully, make an immediate impression and help prospective purchasers understand the potential of the property.

Connect

Create an immediate emotional response.

Communicate

Express the quality and positioning of the development.

Position

Place the development clearly with its intended market.

Our approach brings together residential design thinking with an understanding of that commercial purpose — creating interiors that feel considered and individual while remaining relevant to the intended market.

Consistency enhances the value across every home.

From individual show homes to ongoing programmes.

MacLeod Atelier works on individual show-home commissions as well as opportunities for longer-term developer relationships.

For developments involving multiple properties, phases or locations, we can establish a broader design direction and adapt individual schemes to different property types, purchasers and price points while retaining a coherent visual identity.

The level of involvement can be tailored to the requirements of the development, from design and specification through to complete procurement, installation and styling.

CONSIDERED INTERIORS.
COMMERCIAL IMPACT.

Show-home commissions vary considerably in scale, specification and required scope, and are therefore individually priced.

Following an initial briefing, MacLeod Atelier will prepare a tailored proposal setting out the design scope, procurement, installation and associated services.

Multi-property packages and ongoing design partnerships can also be discussed.
