the objective
The first project under the LOOK. the other Way umbrella, 'LOOK.sharp' has been initiated by founder Darren Sharland. Utilising his experience in large scale Interior Architectural Design specialising in hotel and hospitality, Darren is building a design agency with the express intent to change the nature of design as it is know today.

They will operate under a common platform and process, delivering a full service commercial design and branding product. The base design value at LOOK.sharp is low impact, sustainable and, where possible, entirely off-grid design of a luxurious standard.

Our teams will be structured on a project-by-project basis based on project needs and budget. A fair an open fixed fee rate for an approximate fixed term contract. The fee will be calculated according to a standard percentage breakdown that will run across all projects to reinforce transparency and fair meritocratic team structure. The responsibility is therefore transferred to client in securing a strong and effective team by their fee offer. The fee structure will be based on the 'LOOK. the other Way' non-profit model where a sizable percentage of profit will be built into the formula for philanthropic donation to affiliated L.toW projects.

PROJECT FUNDING / CONTRIBUTIONS
The project will require very little initial outlay in order to get started due to the self employed and managed nature of its participants. Team collaborators will be required to have a set of minimum tools or assets dependent on their role/skill within a project. This relegates the need for considerable investment at the start of operation.
Initial research and consultation, including the devising of contractual agreements for both client and collaborators will be a cost that will require funding. This may be provided by the founder as a reimbursable capital investment or could be sourced more broadly through the signed-up collaborators to guarantee access to the first projects with capital reimbursement included in the agreement.
It is important that collaborators understand that the entities objective is to sustain individuals at a level of need +plus 20% (for example) so that income is generated to support broader social/infrastructure projects.
