We kicked off the project with a walk-through of the home, getting a feel for the space and discussing priorities with the homeowners. That first visit helped us understand the challenges and start shaping the vision together.
We captured detailed measurements and completed 3D scans of the space. This gave us a clear foundation to begin designing with accuracy and anticipate any structural challenges early on.
We developed proposed 2D layouts to explore different ways the space could function. These drawings helped us visualize new flow, improve usability, and align the design with the homeowners’ goals.
We gathered kitchen inspiration to help define the overall look and feel of the space. These visuals sparked ideas for finishes, colors, and layout, guiding the early design decisions.
For the bathroom, we looked at style and material references to explore layouts and finishes. These helped us set a direction that feels both functional and relaxing.
We collected fireplace ideas to study textures, finishes, and layouts. These examples helped us reimagine the fireplace as a warm, modern focal point seamlessly integrated into the home.

We created a kitchen render to bring the design to life before construction began. Seeing the layout, materials, and lighting come together allowed us to confirm key decisions and refine the final details.
A second kitchen render offered a new perspective on the layout and storage solutions. It helped visualize how the space would function in use, highlighting the flow between key zones.
We produced a render of the family room to showcase the open layout, updated finishes, and connection to outdoor views. This helped clarify the design vision and ensure the space felt both inviting and cohesive.
For the guest bathroom, we developed a render to examine the layout, material choices, and overall ambiance. It allowed us to envision a space that is both efficient and welcoming, with modern fixtures and a clean, streamlined design.
