DESIGN

The design process begins with a thorough understanding of your needs and preferences. We take the time to learn about your lifestyle, organizational requirements, and aesthetic tastes, helping you clarify your vision for the ideal living space. From this foundation, we create a comprehensive design package that transforms your vision into reality—starting with material palettes and paint swatches, and extending to lighting, furniture, and accessories.

With access to an extensive network of artisans and workrooms in New York and Denver, we offer bespoke options at every level of detail, from custom furniture to unique hardware. Through the use of illustration and CAD modeling, we help you visualize the new structure and space, and generate precise construction documentation for build-outs and custom millwork. This ensures that your vision is consistently reflected at every stage of the process.

We provide regular updates on the progress of your design, whether through weekly meetings, phone calls, or emailed reports. And, as with all of our services, we offer a flexible approach, tailoring the process to meet your specific needs.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
& OWNER REPRESENTATION

Our Project Management and Owner Representation services are designed to provide peace of mind, ensuring that your vision is seamlessly brought to life—whether you're present or away. Renovation projects can be disruptive, but with SDS Owner Representation, you are insulated from day-to-day inconveniences while staying well-informed on progress. This allows you to focus on what truly matters to you.

We act as a liaison between you and all key contributors, including the general contractor, subcontractors, architects, and design professionals, to ensure that your vision and the final outcome remain aligned throughout the process. Think of us as your creative director, with the added benefit of financial oversight and comprehensive management, making sure your project stays within the financial plan.

Whether you need someone to meet with an electrician in your absence or require end-to-end project management—from design planning and purchasing materials to overseeing installation and inspecting the work—SDS offers a tailored solution to suit your needs. These services include regular updates through phone, email, or in-person meetings, as well as a continuously updated Project Strategy Roadmap that tracks weekly progress and budget details, ensuring transparency and control at every stage of your project.
