Process

NineHertz works on architecture, interior design and total design projects of different scales and uses. Each service is tailored to the project type, complexity, location and required scope of documentation.

Yes. NineHertz designs private houses and villas, residential buildings, hotels, restaurants, hospitality venues and other commercial spaces. Each project is developed in response to its location, intended use, users and investment goals.

Yes. The total design service combines architecture and interior design into one coherent project. Spatial organization, structure, building systems, materials, lighting, equipment and details are developed as parts of the same concept.

An architect should be involved as early as possible—ideally before purchasing a property or plot, setting the budget or making major spatial decisions. Early involvement allows the project’s possibilities, constraints and potential risks to be assessed in time.

Yes. You do not need a finished concept or a defined style before the first conversation. Through discussion, analysis and references, NineHertz helps define the project brief, priorities and possible direction.

Yes. NineHertz can review planning regulations, available documentation, development or reconstruction potential, and identify key limitations and risks. The scope of the assessment depends on the type of property and the information available.

During the first conversation, NineHertz learns about the client, location, requirements, ambitions, planned budget and timeframe. It is helpful to provide the address or plot details, available drawings and documents, photographs of the existing condition and a short description of the intended project.

NineHertz does not determine its fee solely by floor area. Each proposal is prepared individually based on the type of project, programme complexity, required documentation, level of detail and agreed scope of services. Two projects of the same size may require entirely different levels of work.

The initial information should include the location, approximate area, intended use, required scope of services, available documentation, planned budget and expected timeframe. If some information is not yet available, it can be defined during the initial conversation.

Depending on the project, the service may include an initial consultation, conceptual design, statutory documentation, detailed design documentation, coordination of consultants, design supervision, final curation and photography.

Conceptual design defines the project’s concept, programme, spatial organization and character. Statutory documentation includes the designs, reports, conditions and procedures required by applicable regulations. Detailed design documentation develops the drawings, materials, equipment and construction details required for tendering, procurement and execution.

Yes, when these services form part of the agreed scope. NineHertz identifies the required documentation, coordinates licensed consultants and specialist designers, and manages communication with the relevant authorities. The duration of procedures involving authorities and other external parties cannot be guaranteed in advance.

The duration depends on the project type, scale, complexity and required documentation. The project is divided into phases, each with a defined scope, indicative timeframe and required client decisions. NineHertz leads the project pace, while external consultants and statutory procedures may affect the overall schedule.

The investment framework is defined at the beginning and considered throughout concept development, material selection and prioritization. Decisions that may affect costs are clearly presented to the client. When a detailed estimate is required, it is coordinated with contractors or construction cost specialists.

The client defines their requirements and participates in key decisions but does not need to manage the project. NineHertz sets the pace, coordinates participants and manages the next steps, keeping the client involved without burdening them with the project’s daily management.

Yes. NineHertz can be appointed for an individual phase or join a project that is already underway. Before taking over, NineHertz reviews the existing documentation, current status, technical conditions and authorship rights, and then defines the appropriate scope and responsibilities.

Design supervision protects the architectural concept, design details and consistency between the documentation and execution. During construction, NineHertz clarifies the documentation and resolves additional design details. Statutory construction supervision is a separate service that monitors compliance with regulations, permits and technical requirements.

Yes. NineHertz works on projects outside Zagreb and with clients based abroad. Communication, presentations and progress reports can be managed online, combined with scheduled site visits. For projects outside Croatia, the scope is coordinated with local regulations and locally licensed consultants.

NineHertz provides investors and developers with concept development, architectural and interior design, coordination of documentation and consultants, and project support through construction and handover. Each project is aligned with its target audience, market positioning, intended use, investment framework and schedule.

Quality architecture brings together functionality, a recognizable identity, user experience and the long-term performance of a space. A carefully developed programme, efficient organization, appropriate materials and consistent execution can strengthen market positioning and distinguish a project from comparable developments.
