High-End Spec Home with Custom Upgrades
What the Client Asked For
- Upgrade a high-end spec home with completely custom finishes, interiors, and landscaping. (This represented the second phase of this project, the first having been the design of the structure for the developer.)
- Create a comfortable family home where every element appeals to all family members.
- Work design reviews and approvals around the schedule of an out-of-town client and still meet a fast-track move-in date.
Solutions
- Integrated all elements of the exterior, interiors, and landscaping into a coordinated design.
- Provided a range of options and recommendations for every detail — such as lighting fixtures, built-in stereo system, kitchen cabinetry, bathroom fixtures, etc.
- Involved family members in design reviews and selection of materials, systems, and furnishings.
- Coordinated closely with the client, suppliers, and contractors to make all decisions in time to meet schedule.
