Every space tells a story—especially when it thoughtfully reflects the identities, cultures, and communities using and interacting with that space.
Our design process is rooted in deep respect for history, community engagement, and future generations.
Here’s how we bring these elements together to create meaningful, innovative spaces.
Community Consultation
We start by listening.
Understanding the community's voice is central to our approach.
Through consultations, we gather insights from local Indigenous groups to ensure that our designs honor their stories, traditions, and cultural values.
This inclusive approach lays the foundation for respectful and authentic designs.
Historical Research & Cultural Relevance
Every project is informed by local history and cultural significance.
We dive into research to uncover the historical context of Indigenous peoples in the region, weaving these narratives into architectural forms, interior spaces, furniture, and textiles.
This step ensures that the designs we create are both culturally relevant and timeless.
Collaborative Design Development
Collaboration is key to innovation.
We work closely with our clients, architects, and local artisans to develop designs that not only reflect the past but also meet the needs of the present and future.
By blending traditional elements with modern functionality, we create spaces that resonate with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups.
Innovative Finishes & Textiles
Our design process incorporates innovative finishes and textiles inspired by ancient patterns found in Indigenous pottery and tools.
These unique finishes help push the boundaries of design, setting our clients' spaces apart from their competitors.
Each element is crafted with care, ensuring a balance of tradition and modernity.
At Indigo Arrows, our process and work is more than just creating beautiful spaces—it’s about creating environments that respect and celebrate Indigenous cultures, foster inclusiveness, and inspire collaboration for generations to come.
