The Question of Cost - Why Kvadrat Architects Doesn’t Charge Per Square Meter

Why We Don’t Price Per Square Meter

At Kvadrat Architects, we don’t sell square meters — we create spaces that tell stories. Interior design is not a product pulled from a shelf. It’s a tailored service, crafted through dialogue, intuition, and shared vision. Like a custom suit or a commissioned artwork, each project is entirely unique — and so is its value.

Our process is personal. We begin by understanding who you are: What should your home feel like? What inspires you, challenges you, restores you?
What role should the space play in your life?

Yes, the final cost depends on factors like area, layout, timeline, and complexity — but these are supporting details, not the starting point. A 200 m² apartment with rich architectural detail may demand more time and precision than a minimalistic 400 m² space. We don’t calculate based on size. We design based on intention.

We begin by asking: What do you want to feel when you're in your home?

What are your goals, rhythms, and aspirations? Your lifestyle? Your story?

Once we understand this, we shape the project accordingly. If we speak the same design language—if our values and worldview align—we’ll walk this path together. The process matters just as much as the result.

Interior design is not a commodity; it’s a multi-layered, highly crafted service. Think of it as tailor-made couture—stitched by hand, using rare materials and generations of knowledge. Our work is a blend of personal experience, distinct perspective, and refined methods. The Kvadrat Architects signature is always present, always recognizable.

If it turns out that our philosophies don’t align, we’ll gladly recommend other professionals who may be a better match.

So why don’t we price by square meter?
Because we take responsibility not for the size of a space, but for the quality of its transformation—for a result inspired by your energy and your unique way of seeing the world.
