Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our projects are fully bespoke, so investment varies based on scope, square footage, and material selections. A single-room redesign typically begins at $25,000, while whole-home commissions range from $150,000 to $1M+. We provide a detailed fee proposal after your complimentary discovery call — there are never hidden charges.

    We view every project as a long-term investment in how you live. Our clients consistently report that their redesigned spaces appreciate significantly in property value — and more importantly, in daily quality of life.

  • We use a hybrid model: a flat design fee covering our creative and project management services, plus a procurement fee on all furnishings and materials we source (typically 25–30%). This is disclosed fully in our proposal.

    Our fee structure is designed to align our incentives with yours. We're not motivated to specify expensive materials to increase our margin — we're motivated to create the most beautiful, lasting result within your desired level of investment.

  • Our process has five clear phases: Discovery (goals, lifestyle, budget), Concept Development (mood boards, spatial planning), Design Development (specifications, material selection), Procurement & Project Management, and White-Glove Installation. Most projects span 6–18 months depending on complexity.

    You'll always know exactly where your project stands. We provide regular updates and a single, expert point of contact throughout.

  • Your vision is our north star. During our discovery phase, we spend considerable time understanding not just your aesthetic preferences but how you actually live — your daily rituals, entertaining style, and what 'home' means to you. Every design decision is filtered through that lens first.

    We never arrive with a signature style we apply to every client. Our portfolio looks diverse because each space is a deliberate reflection of the person who lives in it.

  • Yes. We maintain long-standing relationships many past clients, esteemed and award winning archittects, and with licensed, bonded contractors — and we're happy to share references from similar projects upon request.
