When designing a new space for a client, one of the clearest ways to help illustrate what the interior design may look and feel like is through renderings.

In the rendering process, designers take information from AutoCAD files and apply the selected materials to create a realistic drawing that can help clients envision the final design.

While the AutoCAD files can share many crucial project details, having a 3D rendering can help illustrate how materials are working together and envision how the layout may affect the experience of being in the space.

This additional information and understanding can help clients recognize any aspects of the design they may want to change before the construction process.

While it's possible to complete a project without renderings, they add immense value to the design process, visually communicating designs with clarity, contributing to positive design outcomes and our client's happiness and satisfaction.

This bright bungalow features a custom remodeled kitchen with a collection of handmade elements reflecting the homeowners love of nature and commitment to sustainable materials. Locally made cabinets, countertops made with recycled Heineken bottles, handmade ceramic backsplash tile, and cardboard pendant lamps make for a truly unique space.

This cook's kitchen has a place for everything and everything in its place! Built-in wall shelving provides extra space for storage and creates a cheerful display of dishware and other kitchen utilities.

A hard-working home office tucked away in the corner of the kitchen. Custom designed to fit the compact space perfectly, this corner nook gets plenty of natural light. A countertop made from recycled bowling alley lumber makes the utilitarian space special! Framed artwork by Gwen Samuels adds unique handmade detail atop the desk.
