About Our Studio

We are a boutique exterior design and renovation studio specializing in high-performance facades, meticulous detailing, and client-first delivery.

Design Strategy and Vision

Transform your exterior with an evidence-based design strategy tailored to your architecture, neighborhood context, and lifestyle.

Site Analysis and Context Mapping

We begin with a thorough site study, mapping sun paths, prevailing winds, setbacks, and neighboring sightlines to guide massing and privacy. Grades, drainage patterns, and utility locations inform safe access, planting opportunities, and long-term durability requirements for your redesigned facade.

Style Alignment and Architectural Cohesion

We identify your home’s authentic style cues and expand them with disciplined proportion, consistent fenestration rhythm, and complementary trim profiles. By aligning rooflines, porch massing, and elevations, we avoid trend chasing and deliver a coherent identity that feels intentional and enduring.

3D Concept Visualization and Iteration

Immersive models let you preview material swaps, lighting scenes, and landscaping tie-ins before construction. We iterate quickly using annotated markups, cost overlays, and photo-realistic renders, building consensus with stakeholders while protecting budget and schedule through data-backed design decisions.

Material Selection and Performance

Choose durable, low-maintenance materials that elevate aesthetics without compromising budget or building science.

Cladding Options and Assemblies

Compare fiber cement, engineered wood, brick veneer, and stucco assemblies with clear pros, cons, and maintenance expectations. We specify rainscreen gaps, corrosion-resistant fasteners, control joints, and proper substrate preparation to manage moisture, improve longevity, and protect manufacturer warranties.

Finish Systems and Coatings

Select finishes for colorfastness, UV stability, and substrate compatibility. We evaluate elastomeric coatings, breathable mineral paints, and factory-applied stains, considering light reflectance values, coastal corrosion exposure, and maintenance cycles to preserve vibrancy and surface integrity for years.

Weather Barriers and Flashing

A durable facade starts behind the cladding. We detail weather-resistant barriers, seam tapes, and self-adhered membranes, then integrate head, jamb, sill pan, and kick-out flashings with proper sequencing to shed water predictably and prevent hidden leaks around windows, doors, and transitions.

Facade Renovation Process

From assessment to punch list, our structured process delivers clarity, quality, and accountability.

Condition Assessment and Scope Definition

We document existing conditions using moisture readings, thermal imaging, and selective probe openings. Findings translate into a prioritized scope matrix that addresses safety, water management, and aesthetic upgrades, aligning expectations, phasing, and budget before materials are ordered or crews mobilize.

Permitting and Code Compliance

Our team prepares permit drawings, engineering letters, and product data to satisfy local codes and HOA guidelines. We coordinate energy, fire separation, and setback requirements, streamlining approvals and reducing surprises while keeping neighbors informed and inspectors aligned on the renovation plan.

Construction Phasing and Site Logistics

We sequence work to minimize disruption, protect landscaping, and maintain safe access. Staging areas, debris handling, weather contingencies, and daily communication are planned in advance, ensuring predictable progress, clean sites, and respectful operations around occupants and sensitive property features.

Architectural Details and Accents

Refine the facade with proportionate details that add depth, shadow, and visual hierarchy.

Trim, Corners, and Profiles

We specify trim widths, drip caps, and corner treatments that create crisp transitions and controlled shadow lines. Durable, low-maintenance profiles in fiber cement, cellular PVC, or metal deliver clean edges, improved water shedding, and a premium finish that resists movement and warping.

Entryways and Porticos

A welcoming entry anchors curb appeal. We balance door proportions, surround moldings, column sizes, and step geometry, integrating lighting, house numbers, and smart hardware. Proper flashing, footing design, and code-compliant railings ensure beauty, safety, and longevity for the home’s focal point.

Railings, Screens, and Privacy Elements

Screens and railings shape view corridors, privacy, and ventilation. We design attachment points, wind-load resilience, and pattern density, selecting materials that complement cladding while resisting corrosion. Thoughtful alignment with windows and doors preserves rhythm and enhances layered depth without visual clutter.

Exterior Lighting Design

Enhance safety, accentuate texture, and shape nighttime ambiance with a layered lighting plan.

Fixture Types and Placement Strategy

We layer wall sconces, step lights, and landscape uplights to highlight texture, paths, and focal points. Beam angles, mounting heights, and setbacks are calculated to reduce glare, avoid hot spots, and create balanced illumination that complements the facade’s geometry and material palette.

Electrical Planning and Controls

Thoughtful zoning unlocks flexibility. We coordinate low-voltage transformers, code-compliant wiring, and switching with smart controls, timers, and scenes. Photometric studies validate brightness and uniformity, ensuring energy efficiency, safety, and a refined nighttime experience across entries, pathways, and gathering spaces.

Dark-Sky and Energy Considerations

We specify warm color temperatures, full cutoffs, and shielded optics to limit light trespass and protect night skies. Efficient LEDs, dimming, and occupancy sensors reduce consumption, while code-aligned controls preserve safety and comfort for neighbors, wildlife, and your family’s outdoor routines.

Landscaping Integration

Unify architecture and site through complementary plantings, hardscape, and grading solutions.

Foundation Planting and Bed Design

We plan layered plantings with appropriate mature sizing, root zones, and irrigation needs to soften foundations and frame entries. Mulch type, edging profiles, and seasonal color ensure year-round interest, while maintenance considerations keep beds tidy and visually consistent with the home’s architecture.

Walkways, Drives, and Thresholds

Paths should guide and welcome. We design walkways and drives using permeable pavers, scored concrete, or stone, balancing traction, slope, and drainage. Threshold transitions meet accessibility goals, protect edges, and maintain visual continuity between public approach, porch, and interior entry.

Energy Efficiency and Envelope Upgrades

Reduce operating costs and improve comfort with targeted exterior envelope improvements.
