When Chris reached out, he wanted to transform a dated home into a cohesive, functional layout — converting a storage area into a full bath, expanding the closet, and optimizing circulation. What began as a simple layout consultation evolved into a full interior redesign, where every inch was reconsidered for comfort, resale, and flow.

Together, we reviewed each space detail — from the cabinetry finishes to the flooring transitions — ensuring every element aligned with building standards and local requirements in Oregon. The result was a city-compliant, permit-ready home design, crafted with care and clarity.

Today, the remodeled layout reflects not only functionality but an elevated sense of everyday living — thoughtfully designed and ready for the next construction phase.

Deepa's San Jose remodel began with a vision: a space that was elegant, logical, and compliant with city guidelines — without drowning in the paperwork of permits. From the very beginning, my goal was to bring clarity and confidence to her design process.

We refined her layouts to meet California code expectations, balanced light, storage, and accessibility, and prepared everything her engineer would need for the next stage. Each plan was tailored not only to pass city review but to reflect her lifestyle and aesthetic priorities.

What started as a technical challenge became a design journey built on collaboration and trust — resulting in a beautifully conceived, code-compliant home that's ready to move seamlessly into permitting.

Carolyn envisioned a cozy apartment above her garage — a compact space that needed to feel open, bright, and perfectly planned. She had an initial sketch and wanted help transforming it into something that truly worked.

We rebuilt her design in 3D, fine-tuned every dimension, and added realistic details — a feature bath alcove with a large picture window, stacked laundry tucked efficiently, and a clerestory window that poured light into the living room. Every change respected Seattle's zoning and building standards, ensuring the project would move easily into its permit phase when she was ready.

The result was a fully visualized, city-compliant design that merged comfort, function, and character — a modern cottage imagined with heart and built on technical precision.

In Colorado, Bill and Shalyn dreamed of a family home surrounded by nature — warm, functional, and designed for multigenerational living. They came with graph-paper sketches and a clear vision; I turned them into a refined, code-aligned home design that balanced dream and regulation.

We optimized the layout, added vaulted ceilings with scissor trusses, refined window placements for light and privacy, and ensured all drawings met state and county standards. I coordinated closely with their builder and engineer, creating a design that could be confidently taken forward to permitting and construction.

Their home is now a thoughtful, livable design — beautiful on paper, practical on site, and built for the moments that matter most.

Chris wanted to create something rare on a quiet Maldivian island — a boutique apartment block designed for surf travelers and couples seeking privacy and comfort, far from the resort crowds. The property, just 14 × 14.5 meters, needed to host four compact one-bedroom apartments and a spacious penthouse for his family overlooking the ocean.

He shared photos, rough sketches, and local constraints — narrow setbacks, adjacent buildings, and a dirt-road frontage. From there, I developed conceptual design schemes balancing tropical comfort with coastal resilience: shaded balconies, privacy slats, efficient cross-ventilation, and clear circulation via side and rear passageways.

Together we refined the light, layout, and massing until each level worked effortlessly — beautiful, buildable, and ready for a local architect to finalize permits.

The result: a city-compliant, climate-responsive apartment design, perfectly suited for the island's relaxed rhythm — turning a blank plot into a thoughtful surf-lifestyle retreat for guests and family alike.
