Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life at Stella Taleb Design

At Stella Taleb Design, no two days are alike. Our team thrives on collaboration, creativity, and a passion for bringing our clients’ visions to life. But what does a typical day at Stella Taleb Design look like? From morning client meetings to late afternoon project site visits, we’re always working to ensure every detail is just right. Let’s take you behind the scenes and show you how we approach each day with a mix of inspiration, precision, and dedication.

8:00 AM – Morning Kickoff

The day begins with a strong cup of coffee, the perfect fuel for tackling the exciting challenges ahead. Mornings at Stella Taleb Design usually start with a team meeting where we review ongoing projects, discuss the day’s priorities, and address any pressing client needs. These meetings are crucial in keeping communication smooth between all departments, including design, construction (Bebel Construction), and environmental testing (IROS Australia).

During these briefings, we go over upcoming deadlines, brainstorm ideas for new projects, and share updates from client meetings. The team’s collective expertise allows us to approach every project from different perspectives, ensuring a seamless flow from design to completion.

10:00 AM – Design Consultations

Late mornings often bring client consultations, whether it’s meeting new clients in our showroom or catching up with ongoing projects. These sessions are where our creative process comes to life. We spend time understanding the client’s vision, exploring design preferences, and discussing everything from materials to timelines.

This stage is where we dive deep into concepts, sketching ideas, selecting sustainable materials like Cosentino’s Dekton or Lapitec, and offering insights into how we can transform spaces into something extraordinary. Whether it’s a residential renovation or a commercial project, we tailor every design to meet our clients’ unique needs.

12:30 PM – Lunch Break (With a Creative Twist)

Even lunch breaks are inspiring at Stella Taleb Design. It’s not uncommon for us to gather as a team, discussing design trends or materials we’ve recently discovered. We often use this time to reflect on projects we’ve worked on, bounce new ideas around, or simply catch up on industry news.

1:30 PM – On-Site Visits

Afternoons are when the action really ramps up. We head to various project sites, checking in on the progress of builds or renovations. These visits are critical to ensuring that everything is on track and that the design is being executed as envisioned.

At Stella Taleb Design, we’re hands-on, working closely with our in-house construction team, Bebel Construction, to ensure that every project maintains our high standards. Site visits allow us to address any potential issues, adjust designs if needed, and offer clients peace of mind, knowing their project is progressing smoothly.

3:00 PM – Design Development

Back at the office, afternoons are often spent diving into design development. This involves everything from refining design layouts, sourcing materials, and creating detailed 3D renderings. Our designers are in constant collaboration with clients and contractors, making sure that each detail—from structural plans to interior finishes—is perfect.

This phase also involves working closely with IROS Australia to ensure that environmental compliance is met, with considerations for soil testing, hazmat assessments, and other important regulatory factors. Having an in-house environmental team means we can streamline the process, saving clients time and hassle.

4:30 PM – Client Updates and Communication

Before wrapping up the day, we make sure to touch base with clients. Whether it’s updating them on project progress, sending over design drafts, or responding to any queries, we prioritise communication to keep everything transparent and aligned.

We know that every project is personal, and by keeping our clients in the loop, we ensure they feel confident and excited about the transformation taking place.

6:00 PM – Closing Out the Day

As the day winds down, we gather for a quick debrief, reviewing the day’s accomplishments and setting goals for the next. Whether we’re celebrating a new project win or reflecting on the progress of an ongoing build, the sense of collaboration and shared success is always felt.

At Stella Taleb Design, every day is a new opportunity to bring beauty, function, and sustainability into the spaces we touch. Our passion for design, architecture, and construction drives us to create spaces that not only meet but exceed our clients’ expectations.
