You want something that doesn’t exist - yet.
You don’t know quite what it is.
I live in this world - in the future - imagining potential moments big and small.
Imagine the afternoon sun warming your favorite corner, designed precisely to invite comfort and calm.
Imagine flowing through your home with ease and purpose, surrounded by spaces that respond to your every need and desire.
These moments, when pored over and cultured with intention, create what I call a luxury of the senses.
It isn’t about money, brands, or showing off, it is about you & living in beauty.

What if?
What if you could have all your problems not just solved - that's the bare minimum - but elevated into something greater than its parts, that delights and inspires you every day?
That is our goal with every project, no matter how big or small: To give you something; to read the tea leaves and conjure up a world that is undeniably you.
Not the latest trends, not the lowest common denominator, and never agreeable gray; but something for you, through and through.
Why artistic?
Because life is worth celebrating.
Because a home without artistry is dysfunctional.
Because you’ve earned it.
Because construction is expensive, why waste the chance to make it magical?
“His work is impeccable and very meticulous.”
“What a lucky homeowner that gets to be enveloped in art every time the threshold is crossed. The music of Coltrane and Davis should be played in this space often.”
“I believe there is no other motivation for living than to express.”
- Louis Kahn
Express yourself
“I was impressed with his clean graceful lines and his keen understanding of how to make functional space an artistic statement.”
“Throughout the project he was very patient, friendly & professional. Very serious about the details & extremely design oriented.”
Space, Transformed
“I’d be a drowning man sinking slowly into the deep, were you not there as my giant life preserver.”

WHY this matters now - real examples from people who didn’t call first:
A family spent $200,000 doing piecemeal renovations to their home only to realize they hated everything and had nothing left to fix it.
A homeowner skipped permits to “save time” and woke up to a Stop Work Order, thousands in fines, and months of delays. They had to redo the work just to meet codes.

Start here - needs analysis
We identify potential challenges early, which can prevent costly redesigns & ensure your project aligns perfectly with your lifestyle & budget.
Don’t start design without knowing the rules of the road - Andrew will search for zoning issues and areas of opportunity, figure out if you REALLY need that addition or if a renovation will do, and so much more.
Andrew will work with you to determine your goals, priorities, points of opportunity, budget and project feasibility. This roadmap will enable you to move forward on the project with clarity and confidence. -

Architecture
Much more than “blueprints”. We are the conductor of the construction symphony, speaking the language of clients, contractors, engineers, inspectors, and more to create a vision, flesh it out in detail, and act as your advisor during construction.
Our designs not only create visually stunning homes, but also utilize the latest 3d tech so clients can see their dream home come to life before construction begins, reducing design changes and saving time and money during the building process. -

Interior Design
The German philosophers called it “Gesamtkunstwerk” - a total work of art. When architecture and interior design are one thing, instead of silo-ed off to different companies, we get the best possible result. Out of infinite possibilities, Andrew shortlists the right products for your project, overnights samples to you whenever possible, and details everything from the big picture down to the doorstops. You deserve it.

ok, but what would this
cost me?
Most online cost estimators are useless: vague numbers, generic assumptions, and zero grounding in reality.
This one’s different.
Our Custom Home Budget Estimator is based on real construction bids, actual supplier quotes, and many years of experience.
It doesn’t just ask for square footage. It guides you through the actual decisions that shape cost — kitchens, baths, windows, custom features — so you can see how your design priorities impact your investment.
Get clarity early. No fluff. No copycat numbers. No AI blather.
Curious what it really costs?
