Ever wondered what a live client brief looks like from the inside?

This one came from Club Med Kani in the Maldives: a beach bar that had to work from afternoon into evening. Three TLDP juniors took it on, with a senior mentor reviewing their work before the client saw it.

Which evening would you choose?

Charging by the hour makes clients nervous.

Studio Hours is a monthly call where TLDP junior designers bring their questions to Mentors. This one was about money.

Did you start out designing houses in The Sims? Aisyah did too.

Now real owners have chosen her design for their 30 m² garage in Soulac-sur-Mer, from the old pocket doors reused as garden doors to the reading lights built into the headboard.

Congratulations, Aisyah. Leave her some love in the comments!

Ever had a brief where the main rule is that nobody should guess what the room used to be?

This was a garage in Soulac-sur-Mer. Here’s how Prachi and Aisyah answered it, from the living room to the bathroom. Which one would you live in, A or B? Let us know!

Remember your first live brief? For a lot of our designers, it happened here.

Four years in, that's still the part we're proudest of. Designers early in their careers are working on real hotels with a senior mentor beside them, and some of those concepts are now being built.

Thank you to every junior designer, mentor and client who's been part of it. You're the faces in these photos, and you're the reason there'll be a fifth.

Four designers got the same London flat and the same problem: make it feel like hers, and make it work for guests. The tiles stayed. Everything else was up for debate.

Four very different answers, all reviewed by a senior mentor. One is now being built. A, B, C or D?

From today, every proposal you finish on TLDP moves you forward.

The Junior Program now has three levels, from Junior Apprentice to Resident Designer. Each one opens up bigger projects, and you get there by delivering on time. A mentor reviews every proposal before any client sees it.

Save this so you know what’s next. Which level are you aiming for first?

The owners’ old skis now light their dining table.

Sakshi turned them into a pendant as part of her winning design for Offtrack, a 150-year-old log house in Northern Norway. She kept the table, the birch trunk and the kitchen cabinets, added fold-down leaves for three more guests, and hid the fuse box behind a mirrored door. A mentor reviewed it before the owners saw it.

You may be thinking your access to real brief with TLDP ends when your degree does. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. It’s just the beginning.

If you’re going on to a design-related postgrad, your membership extends with you. December of the year after you finish.

Applications are rolling. Link in bio.
