| AD Consulting |
At
AD Consulting, our vision is to raise transformational leaders while
providing seminal holistic Architecture and interior design solutions.
Our core values are Passion, Integrity, Excellence, Creativity,
Distinction .
Interior Architecture
From inception, interior architecture should be an
integral part of the design process. The common practice of
commissioning an interior designer at the end of the construction is not
the way of the discerning. Interior Architecture enhances the function
of each room and prepares a befitting setting for soft furnishing. In AD
consulting our clients expect this as part of our normal services.
Commitment and Discretion
Frankly, we choose to work only with discerning
clients making it both our duty and pleasure to see our projects through
from inception to conclusion. Discretion guides our actions, we don't
blow our trumpet at your expense.
