Design & Staging

Space planning, design direction, and plan coordination.

Space planning and design direction for buildings being reworked, repurposed, or prepared for use — and the presentation standard applied to the properties this practice puts forward.

The plan

Space planning means the layout itself: where walls go, how rooms connect, and how the building actually gets used. It is done in house, and it is often the first piece of work on a project.

Decorating a finished room is a different job. We stage, and anything past that goes to a specialist we work with.

House styles

House styles

We work from a set number of styles and match them to the building rather than staging everything the same way.

Adobe & Southwest

Adobe & Southwest

Plaster, timber, and warm light for southwestern and rural properties.

Western

The turn-of-the-2000s western interior, drawn from a working archive.

Industrial conversion

Warehouse and brick stock made warm and usable.

Mid-century office

Modern enough to signal competence, warm enough to want to be there.

Department-store retail

Ground-floor commercial with the presence that era built into it.

What we do

Space planning

Functional layout, flow, and test fits for buildings being reworked, converted, or prepared for a new use.

Interior direction

Material and furnishing direction, and the references used to establish how a building should look and work.

Plan coordination

Review of layouts and coordination of revisions with the drafters, architects, and engineers preparing the documents.

Staging

Staging

Staging is done in house for properties we represent or feature. We do not sell it by the room.

Every staged image is labeled as staged, without exception.

An empty room tells a buyer very little about what the place would be like to live in.
