We visited the home to get a real sense of the space and talk through ideas with the homeowners. Hearing their goals firsthand helped us start shaping a vision together.

We took detailed measurements and did a full 3D scan of the space. This step gave us the foundation we needed to start designing with accuracy.

Once we had the scans and measurements, we started developing proposed 2D layouts. This is where ideas started taking shape on paper.

We met with the homeowners to go over layout ideas. Sitting down with the homeowners, reviewing concepts, tweaking layouts, and choosing materials, and we love seeing their style come through in the process.

Our 3D layout gives a first look at how the space could come together. It helps everyone visualize the flow and feel of the design. Of course, it's just a starting point—details may shift as the project takes shape.

These detailed plans show every cabinet, appliance, and measurement giving us a clear roadmap to build exactly what was envisioned.

Our moodboard is a starting point for materials and finishes. It gives everyone a visual sense of where we’re headed, with colors and textures that begin to shape the personality of the space.

This kitchen render shows how the finishes, colors, and layout will actually look in your home. It’s one of our favorite moments in the process.

With its rich butcher block countertop and a striking waterfall edge, this kitchen blends warmth and sophistication, creating a space that feels both welcoming and elevated.

We’re all about turning your vision into reality, and that starts with great communication. We keep you involved every step of the way, so the final result feels just right.

We cleared out the existing space to get a clean slate for the renovation. Removing what no longer served the home was the first step toward building something more functional, more intentional, and better suited to the way our clients live.
