Answer a space brief

Why use it

Your designer needs to know how you live in a room before they design it: who uses it, what you love, what has to stay. A brief asks those questions one at a time, so you can answer when it suits you instead of on a long call, and your designer has your answers in writing.

When to use it

• At the start of a room. Before your designer proposes ideas for a space.
• When your designer asks. A card on Spaces shows which rooms are waiting for a brief.

For a project-wide questionnaire your designer sends at the very start, see Project intake.

Before you start

• You're signed in to your portal.
• Your designer has attached a brief to the room. Rooms with a brief waiting are listed on the Spaces page.

Steps

1. In Spaces, find the room under Your designer needs a brief from you and choose Start (or Continue if you've begun).
2. Answer the question shown. It may ask you to pick one or more choices, type an answer, enter a number, pick a date or upload a file.
3. Choose Continue to save your answer and move on. Use Back to revisit a question, or Skip for questions that aren't required.
4. On the last question, choose Submit.

What happens next

• Your designer sees your answers as soon as you submit.
• The room drops off the Your designer needs a brief from you card.
• Opening the brief again shows Brief submitted with Back to spaces.
