From there, we manage the details and practicalities that will make it a tangible space, allowing the homeowner to focus on their day-to-day life.

GET STARTED

New Construction + Renovation

For those embarking on a new build or major renovation, our expert team oversees every aspect of the design process. From concept to completion, we collaborate closely with architects and builders to ensure the vision is executed. We meticulously space plan, craft bespoke architectural details, and hand-select materials, fixtures, and finishes. Every element is carefully sourced, procured, and installed to reflect your distinct taste. Our team is dedicated to delivering a home that is not just functional and luxurious, but truly one-of-a-kind.

WORK TOGETHER

THE PROCESS

Our process, like our designs, centers around the individual needs of each client. We offer a seamless and relaxed experience as we manage and refine the details that make up a well-designed home.

PHASE ONE

Initial Consultation +
Proposal of Work

The process starts with getting acquainted with you, your home, and how you engage with it. We begin by scheduling a phone call followed by an in-home consultation for remodels, renovations, and furnishing projects. During this meeting, we will discuss your goals and needs at length and develop a detailed scope of work. This step is vital as it forms the foundation of our work together. We take what we learned during our in-person consultation and translate it into a fully customized proposal that will outline our initial vision and give you an estimate of your potential investment.

PHASE TWO

Planning and Designing

Once our proposal is approved, the project is officially underway. We will send an extensive design questionnaire that will help us gain more understanding of your personal style and daily routines. We will use this information to hone in on your individual needs and create a space that is distinctly yours. Armed with your feedback, we will begin assembling design concepts and forming an overall direction for the project. We will move on from this step with a collaborative vision that we will spend the rest of the process bringing to life.

PHASE THREE

Design Development

This phase of your project takes place primarily behind-the-scenes. We will be developing plans and drawings, sourcing fixtures, selecting materials, and browsing furnishings. This is where the experience becomes more tangible. We will meet to review a design presentation for each room, complete with tactile samples so that you can see and feel your new surroundings. We offer our clients 3D renderings and interactive models that help them visualize the completed space and explore alternative options.

PHASE FOUR

Construction + Procurement

When each room's design plan has been approved, we begin working on the details of your custom specification book and construction drawings. This is like a guide book for the construction team, giving them all the information they need to execute our design. We make frequent site visits and work closely with the contractor to ensure the project is progressing as expected. As construction continues, we turn our focus toward ordering all furniture, lighting, textiles, art, and accessories. After placing the orders, we track, receive, and inspect them ahead of final installation. We handle the administrative minutiae so that you can enjoy the excitement of the transformation.

PHASE FIVE

Installation

Our time together culminates in the most anticipated phase of the project: final install. This step can take anywhere from one day to an entire week, but the result is worth the wait. Along with an install team, we place and style the pieces of your new home. We prepare the space for immediate use—no cardboard boxes or furniture assembly! When we are finished, we welcome you home with a tour and a toast. Then, we leave you to settle in and enjoy your new space.
