6 of a true palace -- built for the king of Tonga. Today, the Pacific Grove-based business of 12 professional architects and designers is known for diverse projects and clients across the map. Following a well-proven planning method for architecture, interior design, and construction services, International Design Group is equipped to suit individual client needs and meet the requirements of small-specialized projects, medium projects, and major developments of more than $50 million. Sillano and a project manager coordinate and oversee each job through completion, examining every project for direction, individual requirements, and scope of work. “We go with the purest sense of architecture, and really research the design,” Sillano said. “Yet we’re not a stylistic firm. We consider what is on site and what works with the owners’ vision. We’re good listeners, and we shepherd the project in the direction that
the owner wants to take it.” Smaller projects include Victorian home remodeling in the local area. International Design Group is celebrated for its prestigious, luxury homes that can cost more than $35 million, such as those owned by CEOs of a number of Fortune 500 companies. Expertise extends beyond the architectural shell as well, as the full-service design firm also offers interior design, art selection, media selection, architectural electronics, and networking systems. A sprawling ranch in California, a light and airy contemporary estate in Florida, and a formal English Manor in Pebble Beach all stand as distinguished examples of the firm’s exceptional work.
