“We design for people that really use their homes—real people with real children and real dogs,” says Ali Sosne, who owns design-build firm bramble! with her husband, Zack. “It makes every project unique because every family uses their home in a completely different way.” Along with great style, playful pops of whimsy, and their function-forward approach, they bring personal experience to their projects, having moved to the Berkshires from Brooklyn seven years ago (Zack actually grew up here), after their daughter was born. They also have two dogs. “Nothing can be too precious,” Ali says. “That’s not family friendly and it’s not Berkshire friendly.”
As a design-build firm, bramble! is equipped to take on any project—from a brainstorming consultation to a whole-home renovation, and they are also in the process of creating product lines of semi-custom headboards and cabinet doors, to solve needs they notice over and over in their projects. Their bright, airy Great Barrington design space sparks inspiration—and good vibes. Their friends become clients and their clients become friends (and clients become repeat clients). Those relationships influence their work: “A fun design begins and ends with a fun client,” says Ali. B 325 Stockbridge Rd., Great Barrington thebramble.us
