"As we work with a client through the life of a project, we are always invested in its success. Our involvement will help to increase the value, beauty and function of a home or business. Above all else we work with integrity and take a personal interest in exceeding your expectations. We love the Pittsburgh area. Like you, we work, live, and play here. We promise to go out of our way to make this a better place to be." ~ Lisa
Lighting Choices
We focus on developing a balanced lighting scheme using natural and artificial light. An open floor plan works well with windows on multiple exterior walls.
On the back of a napkin...
Some of our best projects have, in fact, started as a sketch on a napkin. They were usually the result of a spontaneous collaboration between us and a potential (turned actual) client. If there is something you want to do with your home or business...it doesn't hurt to talk to us. Napkin sketches over coffee are free. :)
