Interior architecture, construction management, and furnishings for your new custom home.

serving Charlotte, NC & surrounding areas

Your home is where your family greets each day. It’s where loved ones gather, where you make memories with your kids, and where you unwind, relax, and connect. In other words, it’s more than a place—it’s a reflection of your personal style and comfort, and that’s where interior design for home plays a key role. Thoughtful interior design transforms your space into a sanctuary, enhancing not just its aesthetic appeal, but also the way you live, feel, and create memories within it.

Your home is the beating heart of your family’s life.

Together, we’ll help you design a home from the ground up. One that expresses your personality, elevates your lifestyle, and supports your growing family.

Our Process

  • 01. DISCOVERY CALL Our process begins with a Discovery Call to learn about your project, ask some initial questions and fill you in on our process along with how we interact with the team. This is a 20-30 minute conversation.

  • 02. SCOPE OF WORK CONSULTATION We start every project with a Scope of Work Consultation. This is a working meeting and the first step in every project. During this time, we discuss your needs for your project, review images we have asked you to collect, review construction contracts and allowances, make any recommendations, and gather enough information so we can advise potential clients on the way to move forward.

  • 03. DESIGN We start with an aesthetic direction for your home. Then, in collaboration with your architect, we create the floor plan, design interior architecture (beams, built-ins, etc.), create a furniture layout and lighting plan, and create other essential technical drawings and construction documents. The best part? We stamp and seal architectural drawings for permits!

  • 04. SOURCING Next, we source materials and fixtures for every aspect of your home, including custom cabinetry, plumbing, appliances, lighting, furniture, and more. We can also create custom items where needed. We then assemble quotes from our trusted vendors and suppliers and present the design concept and investment overview to you in a Design Presentation.

  • 05. PROCUREMENT Ordering materials is a joint effort between the builder/contractors, design team, vendors, and our clients. We help you navigate who orders what, and when, to keep the project on track. We will also repeat our Design Phase (above) for home furnishings, so we can procure them during the Construction Phase.

  • 06. CONSTRUCTION We help you navigate the complex Construction Phase by keeping you abreast of progress, serving as liaison between you and your builder, and conducting planned site visits to keep the project aligned with our design direction. This phase is long and takes endurance, but you will finally see our planning come to life!

  • 07. INSTALLATION AND REVEAL After construction finishes, we spend one or more days adding the final cosmetic touches: furnishings, art, accessories, and more. This is the moment when your house becomes a home. We photograph your home and invite you in for the grand reveal! Then, the home is all yours.
