"I believe that everyone deserves to have their version of luxury in the home. The Dictionary defines luxury as "The State of Great Comfort and Extravagant Living". That might be true, but the luxury that I bring to each project is "Conscious Living; It's Experiential; It's Comfort; It's Privacy; It's Convenience; It's............Whatever Makes Your Heart Sing". You get to define what luxury is to you."
We get it! Building a new home or remodeling a kitchen and/or a bathroom can be overwhelming. There are tons of decisions to be made - the layout, the aesthetic, the function, and on and on. Sure, you can trust your GC or builder to make these decisions for you, but this is not their area of expertise, and their focus is on building or remodeling your new home. Or for your kitchen or bath remodel, there are limited options available at the big box stores. Are they truly customized for your individual needs?
The fact is, you need an interior designer with design/build and kitchen & bath experience to help you make the big decisions as well as the minute decisions that in the end will allow your new home to function for your needs.
The kitchen and bath are the two most valued, and complex areas in any home, so you don't want to just leave it up to chance to get it right. You want to trust a team who has experience with planning, designing and implementing your project. A team who will get personal - like how you live, who does the cooking, what features are important, how much storage you need, what your style is, what materials would you like to see, how much maintenance are you willing to do, and so much more. Your kitchen and bath is created specifically for you, and your needs.
We also recognize that remodeling a kitchen, bath, or a significant addition to your home is a significant investment. Sometimes it is an absolute need, that some folks may not be able to afford to bring in a designer from start to finish. Maybe you are a DIY-er who is pretty hands on, and you just need a plan and some guidance to get the ball rolling. We believe that the best scenario is to have us do it all for you, but we also understand the need to save wherever you can.
We created our Building, Remodeling and Kitchen and Bath Design service menu, so you can decide how much of our help you will need for your project.
You now have the flexibility to choose one or more options that work for your needs.
Please note that some services go hand-in-hand with other services and cannot be purchased separately
Trust your building, remodeling and kitchen and bathroom designs to an expert team like ours, who can manage every single detail of your project.
From determining your aesthetics and functional needs, to planning layouts and creating construction documents, to materials selections and project oversight, to final accessorizing and styling.
We will handle it all for you through our a-la-carte service options broken out into several phases.

DESIGN PLAN AND LAYOUT
In this phase of the project, we will create the plans and layouts for your new kitchen, bath or room addition. We will also work with our architectural design team to create a full set of plans for a new build.
We start with a detailed assessment of your goals, lifestyle needs, style needs, and other factors that we use to create our design concepts.
We then make a detailed site assessment of your existing space and take digital measurements.
We then create the floor plan layout and elevations for your approval.
The goal is to make sure the layout works for how you and your family will use this space.
PLAN REVIEW
You may already have a set of plans for your project that was created by your architect or building designer.
We will review every detail of your plans and look for opportunities to improve and optimize the space, so it works for you for the long term.
We will make notes for your architect or schedule a meeting to discuss and potential changes we recommend.

PLAN DETAILING
This is an extremely necessary part of the process that a lot of clients overlook. Most architectural plans are good enough for the permitting process, but there are not a lot of details and specific notes for layouts.
Our goal is always about your lifestyle and style needs. We create detailed plans, elevations, sections, notes for kitchens, bathrooms, millwork, fireplaces, tile surfaces, flooring, lighting and more, so your builder or GC has everything they need to implement the design with precision.
MATERIALS SELECTION + 3D RENDERINGS
In this phase of the project, we source and curate all the materials and finish selections for every part of the project. This includes the exterior selections such as roof, siding, stone, brick, light fixtures, gutters, and all interior selections such as cabinetry, flooring, countertop, tile, lighting, appliances, paint colors, trim details.
We present all materials and finishes in a full presentation that includes materials samples and 3D renderings for your approval, and make revisions as needed.
Once approved, we create a detailed spec sheet with all items linked for your builder to procure for the project.
We are happy to procure and manage certain items like decorative plumbing and light fixtures and hardware.
CONTRACTOR ONBOARDING
If you don't already have a GC or builder selected for your project, we are happy to help.
We are happy to introduce you to contractors we have worked with previously, whom you can interview and hire if you choose.
We will schedule a separate meeting to discuss how we work with contractors and what our role is in the project.
We can assist with interviewing and selecting contractors - what questions to ask in general and what questions to ask specific contractors.
We can assist with reviewing quotes and estimates for accuracy and fair pricing.
We are happy to meet with contractors to discuss our design, timelines and make sure we are on the same page.
PROJECT OVERSIGHT
We encourage our clients who choose to only engage us for a few phases, to keep us involved for site visits once the project starts. This will take a lot off your plate.
We make regular site visits to the project, especially at critical phases to verify that the materials we specified are what are being installed, and following the design plan.
We are also there to answer any questions the builder or GC may have.
We will provide an email summary of any site conditions that you need to be aware of following each visit.
