At re.studio, we’re all about small changes that make a big impact.
We love old homes. It’s hard to replicate the character found in structures from a different era. But at some point in every home’s lifespan, it will need a restoration, a rehabilitation, a renewal — that’s why we founded re.studio.
Our philosophy is that you can keep the integrity of the existing character in your home without sacrificing the comforts of contemporary life. We can guide you through the small changes that will make a big impact in the look, feel, layout, and performance of your home, while preserving its original charm.
We specialize in midcentury modern homes — it’s hard to beat the the honest materiality, structural expression, rational floor plans, and connection to the outdoors that these houses provide — but we’re excited to work with any style of home to bring out its true character.
Services
re.studio is a full service architectural design firm, offering services from conceptual consulting to permitted drawings, and everything in between.
Renovations + Additions (full service)
Our studio approaches each project as a one-off opportunity tailored for you as a unique individual.
Our design process begins with an initial site visit and programmatic assessment of your project. Through a series of floor plan studies, we will begin to establish interior and exterior massing, adjacencies, and spatial circulation flows. We believe that the interior finishes and fixtures are a crucial part of the final design, so we will also help guide you through the selection process.
Our goal is to showcase your home’s existing character while tailoring it to to suit your unique lifestyle.
Conceptual Consultations
Interested in talking through conceptual design ideas without committing to a full project? Curious about material selections for a kitchen or bath refresh? We offer hourly architectural consulting services for small projects.
Whether you’ve just moved into a new space, or are looking for new ideas on how to revamp one you’ve been in for years, let’s discuss some ‘big picture’ ideas to get you excited about your space.
3D Modeling + Visualizations
Rendered visualizations are incredibly important to our design process. We want you to be able to see what your future space sure will look like, so that you can make informed design decisions and are completely satisfied with the final product.
We model every project in 3d because good design is more than just floor plans and elevations. Visualizations are part of our typical full design process, or can be selected as a standalone offering.
