Design Services

We are original and our approach is intuitive.

Natural light is where we want to live.

Together we can create a house that will stand the test of time. We believe a home should be beautiful and functional to be considered a job well-done. Renovations are complex and a budget is maximized by professionals who understand the business of building. Susan also believes in the spirit of reducing waste for our Planet.  For the houses she helps to design and build, she strives to use recycled and green products whenever possible, and educating others on the project as to why.

How We Work

Beginning with your vision, we work hand-in-hand with your architect or builder to imagine and draw spaces. We can provide support from start-to-finish — and details are maximized within budget considerations. Our work is focused on new builds, full-scale renovations or major edits of homes. We work primarily in Boulder, but also work in the mountains, NYC and other cities in the U.S., including Honolulu. We are available to travel throughout the world for the right project.

Our approach

We are inspired by land, history and society that shows us the best practices in building. lighting and furnishing spaces. Our sources to builders, architects, trades or craftspeople, and artists is the secret to a well-built and beautiful home.

We are conscious of sustainability and that means using materials that can age and improve over time. We also seek companies with transparency in terms of material, labor practices and environmental position. View our featured projects gallery.

We understand that a home’s play, work and resting spaces have collided due to a new world. Our approach defines public and private spaces with honesty and thoughtful planning. Interior design is much more than how things look. When the work is getting done, it is never about ego — it is about consensus, or it can be about the painting that demands more wall space.

We believe art is essential in the world and in your home.

We know about the challenges to access art you love — lack of time to search on your own, understanding pricing of art’s primary market or galleries that seem unwelcoming.

We hold personal relationships with many local Colorado and national artists. We can help you select and edit selections to secure pieces that will make your house feel complete. 

We have long-standing relationships with art consultants who can tackle whole house art needs.

We work with select framers and can help with details to frame and display art pieces, finishing the process.
