Hiring an interior designer before an architect can be important for several reasons. Interior designers focus on functionality and creating aesthetically pleasing spaces within a building or home. A designer considers the clients' lifestyle and personal style preferences, which can help with determining the scope of the project, the selection of materials, finishes and lighting, and the seamless integration of different design elements. They can also provide input on space planning based on furniture layout. Involving a designer early in the design process to collaboratively work with an architect can guarantee that the clients' overall vision is cohesive and that the space meets the clients' needs. This can also avoid any design changes later, which can potentially save time and money.
For our Lake Barcroft project, our clients wanted to make their entire top level more functional. We took their existing space and customized it to fit their lifestyle and growing family. By doing so we worked with local architect, Karen Becker, and added an ensuite bathroom to the master and enlarged storage space throughout the top level. We were involved in all construction communications from the beginning, which resulted in a "new" space that was reflective of their unique style, met their practical needs, and kept the project on schedule.
This is what our clients' said about working with our firm:
We worked with Jennifer Johnson and her team for over a year during the gut renovation of our second story. Jennifer has a knack for taking conceptual thoughts and finding just the right finishes to turn them into reality. She’s incredibly responsive and prompt - which is extremely important when issues arise during construction. In addition, Jennifer will go to bat for you anytime there are problems with material deliveries or shipments. We genuinely enjoyed working with Jennifer and would recommend her to anyone looking to work collaboratively with an experienced designer and all around great person!
We feel so grateful for wonderful clients that trust us to bring their ideas to life.
