Our Design Process

  • Our 4-step process is:

    1. Research: a complimentary 15-minute discovery call, followed by a two-hour site visit where we define goals, scope, vision, and budget.

    2. Development: we bring in trusted trades as needed and create layouts and design schemes for your approval.

    3. Procurement: we place orders and kick off construction, providing a clear list of deliverables and dates.

    4. Installation: furniture is placed, the space is styled, and everything is buttoned up. Then it's time for champagne!
