About the studio
California modern, warmed by craft & stone
We started in a Granite Bay garage in 1998 with one belief: luxury should feel calm, not cold. Today our 14-person team of designers, architects, makers and stylists runs a 12,000 sq ft studio + workshop on Auburn Folsom Rd.
- ✓Full-service under one roof. Concept, plans, permits, custom cabinetry, stone, lighting, furniture, art & final styling — you sign once, we handle the rest.
- ✓Built for foothill living. We design for real life: oak floors that hide paw prints, quartzites that survive teenagers, shaded loggias for 100°F summers.
- ✓Transparent budgets. Fixed design fees, open-book trade pricing, weekly photo reports. No surprises.
From 800 sq ft condo refreshes to 12,000 sq ft new builds in Los Lagos, Wexford and The Preserve — every project gets a senior designer, a project manager and our artisan network of 60+ local trades.
