Interior design and construction under one roof. No gap between the vision and the build. One firm handles architecture coordination, material specification, procurement, and construction oversight from concept through final installation.
Design-build is an integrated delivery method where architecture, interior design, and construction are managed by a single team under one contract and one creative direction. The traditional approach is hiring an architect, then a contractor, then a designer separately creates coordination gaps where each party interprets the others' work. In a design-build practice, those decisions are made together from the start, which means fewer change orders, faster timelines, and a finished home that is architecturally and aesthetically coherent. For luxury residential projects in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Malibu, where the details are everything, the integrated approach consistently produces better outcomes.
Timeline depends on project scope. A full-scope luxury renovation in Beverly Hills or Bel Air typically runs 12–24 months from initial consultation through final installation. New construction on a residential estate runs longer, often 18–36 months, depending on site conditions, entitlement complexity, and scope. The integrated design-build process typically reduces timeline by 20–30% compared to traditional construction because design and engineering decisions are made in parallel rather than sequentially. A detailed schedule is provided at the end of the design development phase.
Yes. Permitting, entitlement navigation, and all municipal approvals are managed by this team, including planning department interactions, structural plan check, and specialty permits required for pools, outdoor structures, and significant alterations. We work across Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and West Hollywood jurisdictions.
Yes, with conditions. If you have permitted architectural plans, the scope of engagement is adjusted to begin at the interior architecture and construction management phase. However, significant design changes to existing plans, which are common in luxurious residential work require coordination with the original architect of record or the engagement of a new one. This is assessed at consultation.
Full-scope design-build encompasses architectural planning and permitting, structural and civil engineering coordination, interior architecture and space planning, custom millwork design and fabrication, on-site construction management, procurement and installation, and final styling and white glove delivery. Individual phases can be scoped separately depending on project status and need.
Primary markets are Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, and greater Los Angeles. Projects are also undertaken in Miami and New York for existing clients. International design consulting is available on a limited basis.
Quality control is managed through daily on-site oversight by an experienced project manager, milestone inspections at key structural and finish phases, direct coordination with all specialty trades, and a formal sign-off process before any phase advances. Subcontractors and specialty contractors are vetted and work to the standards established in the design documents — not improvised in the field.
Luxury residential design-build in the Los Angeles market typically begins at $500 per square foot for full-scope renovation and scales significantly for new construction, estate-scale projects, or highly customized finishes. Design fees are structured separately from construction costs and are outlined in full at the proposal stage. A detailed budget framework is developed during the design development phase so there are no surprises.
Yes. Luxury home renovation in Beverly Hills is a core part of this practice — from full gut renovations of estates and penthouses to targeted luxurious renovations of primary suites, kitchens, and entertaining spaces. Projects are managed as integrated design-build engagements, meaning architecture, interior design, custom millwork, and construction are handled by one team under a single creative direction. Scope and fees are discussed at consultation.
Most contractors who offer "design services" are offering selections assistance — helping you pick finishes — not integrated architectural and interior design. This practice begins with a design-led vision developed by an interior designer with a $250M+ portfolio of luxury residential work. Architecture and engineering are engaged as collaborators within that vision, not as the primary decision-makers. The result is a home that looks and lives the way it was intended to — not a construction project that happened to end up furnished.
