Three Ways We Work With Operators

Each service is shaped around where you are in the process — whether you are still forming an idea or already speaking to a contractor.

Concept Direction

Concept Direction

Direction work that begins with a long conversation about cuisine, service model, and the desired pace of the room. Output is a written narrative, a visual direction document, and a draft seating layout with capacity counts.

  • Written narrative and mood document
  • Draft seating layout with capacity counts
  • Suitable for new venues or refreshed propositions

Full Interior Documentation

Full Interior Documentation

Complete documentation for a food and beverage interior: layout, joinery, counter and bar details, lighting, finishes, signage placement, and 3D views of the entrance, main dining area, and counter. Prepared with contractor handover in mind.

  • Finishes schedule and bill of items
  • 3D views of key spaces
  • Tender-ready package for contractors

Construction Period Coordination

Construction Coordination

On-site coordination during the build, with focus on joinery, kitchen-front interface, and signage installation. Includes weekly site walks, a written progress log, and a snagging round before opening.

Why Lumea

What Shapes a Considered Interior

Working with a designer who understands hospitality operations changes the depth of the output. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Conversation-Led Process

Every engagement begins with listening — to the menu, the staffing model, the pace you want for the room. Design follows from that, not the other way around.

Hospitality-Specific Knowledge

Understanding the difference between a 45-cover bistro and a 120-seat café in a mall changes how every square metre is planned. We work within real operational constraints.

Contractor-Ready Documents

Drawings and schedules prepared with the build in mind — clear enough that a contractor can price from them with confidence and build from them without repeated clarification.

On-Site Presence When It Matters

Site coordination means decisions about joinery tolerances and tile junctions get made correctly during the build — not corrected after opening at additional cost.

Modular Scope

Engage one service or combine all three. The scope adjusts to what your project actually needs — whether you have an architect already or are building the team from scratch.

KL and Klang Valley Focus

Based in Bukit Bintang with practical understanding of the local supply chain, contractor landscape, and the range of neighbourhood and destination dining contexts across the region.

Common Questions

Questions About Working With Lumea

Do I need to know what I want before getting in touch?
Not at all. Many operators come to us with a space and a general sense of what they want to do with it — and the concept work is part of what we develop together. If you have a clear brief already, that is fine too. Either starting point works.
How long does a typical project take from first meeting to completed documents?
A concept direction document usually takes two to three weeks from our initial conversation. Full interior documentation — drawings, 3D views, and finishes schedule — typically runs six to ten weeks depending on the complexity of the space and how quickly decisions are made on your side.
Can I engage just one service, or do I need to take all three?
Each service stands on its own. Some clients come in just for concept direction because they have a designer for the documentation phase. Others need full documentation but already have a clear concept. Construction coordination is also available independently for operators who have documentation from another source but want an experienced eye on the build.
What does construction coordination actually involve?
Weekly site walks during the active build period, a written progress log after each visit, and a snagging list before handover. The focus is on areas where design intent is most at risk — joinery tolerances, tile and material junctions, counter interfaces with kitchen equipment, and signage positioning. We coordinate directly with your contractor on these points.
Do you work outside Kuala Lumpur?
Concept direction and documentation work can be done for projects anywhere in Malaysia. For construction coordination, we focus on KL and the Klang Valley where we can maintain a consistent site presence. If your project is further afield, get in touch and we can discuss what might be workable.
Are the prices listed fixed or do they vary by project?
The prices shown are starting points for typical project scopes. A small café of 30 covers and a 100-seat restaurant with a bar program require meaningfully different amounts of work. After our first conversation we will give you a clear scope and a fixed fee before any work begins.
