How we work

From first walk to final styling.

A whole-house engagement runs roughly six to ten months across five phases. The studio holds every thread — drawings, makers, trades, install — so the design lands on time and intact.

Discovery

Weeks 1–2

A paid discovery session — we walk the home, talk through how you live, set the budget honestly, and agree on scope. You leave with a direction, whether or not we go further.

Studio consultationScope & budget framingA written proposal

Concept & Moodboard

Weeks 3–6

We build the design direction — the palette, the materials, the references, and the moodboard. This is where the house finds its voice; we present, you react, we refine.

Design & Drawings

Weeks 6–14

Space plans, elevations, custom furniture and millwork, lighting and finish schedules. Everything specified, costed, and resolved before a single thing is ordered.

Sourcing & Making

Months 4–8

We procure, commission, and manage the makers and trades — furniture, fabric, stone, art. The studio holds every thread so you don’t have to chase a single one.

Install & Reveal

The final week

We install in a single coordinated push, style the last layer, and reveal the finished home — photography-ready, with nothing left for you to figure out.
