No matter the size of the project, the only way we know how to approach it is the right way. Because we lead from conception to completion, you will never have to manage a team of consultants or translate between them. We offer one team, one vision, one process and one point of contact for a seamless, white glove experience.
At the WARREN, full-service design
consists of three pillars:
Pillar One
Architectural design at The Warren is the planning and documentation of a home’s layout, structure, and spatial form, developed alongside its interiors and carried through to complete, permit-ready construction drawings.
Site planning at The Warren is the thoughtful arrangement of a home and its outdoor spaces on the property, considering orientation, setbacks, access, views, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor living.
Interior architecture at The Warren is the design of a home’s interior structure and spatial framework, including walls, ceilings, millwork, openings, and built-in elements, so that the bones of each room are shaped as deliberately as its finishes and furnishings.
Exterior design at The Warren is the composition of a home’s facades, including its proportions, materials, rooflines, windows, and entries, so that the exterior expresses the same character and intention as the spaces within.
Construction documentation at The Warren is the preparation of a complete, permit-ready drawing set, including plans, elevations, sections, structural design, and technical details, that translates the approved design into precise instructions for permitting and construction.
Pillar Two
Interior design at The Warren is the programming of each space and the development of a cohesive palette. It includes the selection of all finishes, fixtures, and equipment, as well as the creation of a curated furniture, art and styling plan. All elements composed to produce an environment in step with the home’s architecture and the family’s lifestyle.
Space planning at The Warren is the organization of a home’s interior, defining the size, purpose, and placement of each room and the flow between them so that the layout supports the way the inhabitants use it.
FF&E selection at The Warren is the specification of a home’s finishes, fixtures, and equipment, including wall surfaces, tile, hardware, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and appliances, each chosen to perform beautifully and support the design intent and story of every space.
Furniture planning at The Warren is the thoughtful arrangement and scaling of furnishings within each room, considering circulation, function, and focal points to create spaces that are comfortable, balanced, and suited to daily life.

Pillar Three

Contractor bidding and coordination at The Warren is the preparation of bid packages, the solicitation and comparison of proposals from qualified contractors, and the ongoing coordination between the contractor and the design team to ensure that the work aligns with the drawings, schedule, and budget.
Procurement and receiving at The Warren is the purchasing, tracking, and delivery management of all specified furnishings, finishes, and fixtures, including inspection upon arrival and the resolution of any damage or discrepancies, so that every item arrives on site complete and in proper condition.
