Construction & Renovation Design

• New builds where you want the interiors decided alongside the drawings, not chosen from a builder's allowance sheet.
• Kitchens, primary suites and whole main floors.
• Whole-home renovations, particularly older houses where the architecture deserves to be worked with rather than flattened.
• Homeowners with a contractor who want someone driving the design side of the schedule — and homeowners without one, who would rather be handed a builder who already knows how we work.

This is not the service if the house is finished and you want it furnished — that is Furnishing and Styling. If you want the build and the furniture handled together and handed over complete, that is Custom Home with Furnishings.

Design

• Existing conditions review and measurement, or plan review on a new build
• Space planning and layout revisions — walls, openings, circulation
• Interior architecture direction: millwork, cabinetry, ceiling and trim detail
• Lighting locations and switching
• A developed concept presented in full, not in fragments

Specification

• Every finish, fixture and fitting specified in writing
• Tile, stone, plumbing, hardware, paint and flooring selected as a set
• Schedules and drawings your contractor can price and build from
• Samples in your hands before anything is committed

Coordination

• Site visits at the points in the schedule where design decisions actually land
• Questions from the field answered in writing, quickly
• Coordination with your architect, builder and trades
• Review of shop drawings before millwork is cut

01 · Discovery call

Thirty minutes by phone, no charge. The house, the scope, the timeline and the budget.

02 · Onboarding

Measurement, existing conditions or plan review, and working sessions about how the house is used now and how it needs to work afterwards.

03 · Concept

Plans, elevations and materials presented together. One presentation, the whole scope, so you are judging a coherent idea rather than a drip of choices.

04 · Documentation

Drawings and specification schedules issued to your builder for pricing. This is the document that stops decisions being improvised on site.

05 · Construction

We stay through the build — site visits, field questions, shop drawing review and the coordination that keeps the drawing and the building in agreement.

Kitchen renovations start at $125,000 and full-home renovations at $350,000, as total project costs — construction, materials and every professional fee included. Our design fee is scope-based and quoted after the Discovery Call. A retainer books your place in the calendar and is credited against the final invoice.

Ten to eighteen months for most whole-house work, less for a single room. Design runs three to five months of that; the rest is permitting, lead times and construction.
