Since our start in 2014, we have designed homes, additions, and renovations that are good to live in and fit their surroundings. Founder Leonardo Silva brings 15+ years of design experience to every project; and we stay involved from first conversation to final walkthrough, collaborating closely with clients, consultants, builders, trades, and craftspeople.
