Better by Design.
Environments by Design is a full-service design and build firm specializing in renovations and additions for residential and small commercial properties. Our tag line, “better by design” is the foundation of our process.
Everything Customized to YOU
Our team works closely with our clients to answer why they want to alter their home and what uses they need from their new space(s) as well as provide creative and individual schematic designs from which to start.
Planning
When it comes to Design, our goal is to solve the individual needs of our clients. We ask a lot of questions and then we listen. Just listen. We get personal. No space can truly function properly until we understand how you need it to work.
Design
Creating a great design is only half the battle. Most clients cannot visualize what a space will look like from a two-dimensional floorplan. Most general contractors do not have the ability to illustrate what their two-dimensional plans look like. We do.
Finishes
Our process takes it one step further to identify actual finish selections in lieu of unrealistic allowances. Educating our clients about the available materials and the pros and cons of each allows them to make decisions that represent their own personal style and budget.
Our Work
When it comes to Design, our goal is to solve the individual needs of our clients. We ask a lot of questions and then we listen. Just listen. We get personal. No space can truly function properly until we understand how you need it to work. All of us demand more from our homes and offices than ever before. Multi-functional spaces that have creative, organized spaces for all of our stuff! The trifecta: Functional. Ease of Flow. Personal Touch.
