Interior design starts with the bones
OUR custom home design experience

behind the design
peel avenue residence
scope : NEW BUILD FULL INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SELECTIONS AND FURNISHINGS
location : Orlando, Florida
size : 4,000 sq ft
A builder-grade plan does not have to result in a builder-grade home.
With only 45 days to make selections, we looked beyond the finish schedule and focused on the strategic changes that would have the greatest impact.
THE WORK:
Floor-plan refinement · Semi-custom selections · Kitchen design · Built-ins · Architectural detailing · Lighting · Plumbing · Tile + stone · Finish specifications
rose isle residence
scope : custom lake front build + full scope furnishings
location : winter park, Florida
size : 10,000 sq ft
For two high-performing business owners, home needed to feel like the exhale at the end of a very full day.
We became involved early in the new-build process, helping bridge the space between architectural vision and everyday functionality while developing a layered interior
THE WORK:
Architectural review · Interior architecture · Custom millwork · Kitchen + bath design · Finish specifications · Lighting · Plumbing · Tile + stone · Construction documentation · Builder coordination · Furnishings
beach drive residence
scope : custom beach house + full scope furnishings
location : ormond beach, Florida
size : 9,000 sq ft
We were the client's first hire, before a builder was selected. That meant we could design the home down to detailed specifications before the project ever went to bid.
There were fewer vague allowances, fewer unknowns, and far less room for expensive interpretation during construction.
THE WORK:
Pre-construction design · Builder bid package · Architectural coordination · Kitchen + bath design · Custom cabinetry · Material selections · Specification package · Construction documentation · Furnishings

A vision protected
We stay closely connected to your architect, builder and trades, maintaining continuity from the first plans through the final details.

Family, considered first
We design around how your family truly lives, gathers and grows.
ii.
Design that starts with the bones
The interior vision is considered as part of the architecture, not added after it.
