Creating designs that are both purposeful and beautiful requires two things:

PASSION TIME. Inspired by these two ideals, our process results in enduring, luxurious designs that reflect your needs today and set the stage for a life enriched by beauty in the years ahead. As passionate lifestyle curators, we firmly believe time and heartfelt principles lead to beautiful, bespoke solutions. This philosophy has led to a body of widely published and award-winning work in a diverse range of styles across North America.

AND

While we approach every project with the goal of enhancing what makes it unique, each design emerges from the same rigorous process, humble wisdom and obsession with our craft. We consider ourselves ordinary people who are extraordinarily good at what we do, in part because of our approach: to always be thoughtful, considerate, honest, down-toearth and all-in.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

Set Course

PRE-DESIGN You’re already well on your way through this stage. From our first meeting, we’ll get to know you, your needs, and your hopes for your project in order to design around them. What you bring to the table, we bring to life.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN To find the solution that best suits your needs, we develop a range of options, looking at locations and project details to discover what’s right for you. When necessary, we lean on a diverse team – contractor, structural engineer, interior designer and landscape architects – as we craft your Master Plan.
