We then collaboratively design, through teaming and leadership, to deliver a plan that makes their vision a reality. Our projects range from the in-town pied-a-terre, homes both large and small, condominiums and town homes. The scope of our work includes starting from concept, taking over mid-project, or stepping-in to complete projects that require finishing touches - like finding the perfect decorative piece, art or accessory.
