Architectural & Interior Design

Thoughtful design, from the floor plan to the finishing touch.

A beautifully designed home is more than a collection of rooms. It's how spaces connect, how materials work together, and how the smallest details influence everyday life.

Explore Our Design Expertise

At Red House Design Build, our in-house architectural and interior designers work alongside our estimating and construction teams to bring every aspect of a renovation together.

From reconfiguring floor plans and designing custom cabinetry to selecting materials and finishes, we develop beautiful, functional spaces with an understanding of how they'll ultimately be built.

For homeowners looking to transform a space beyond renovating, our interior decorating services provide the same personalized attention through furnishings, decorative details, and professional installation.

Rethinking spaces. Reimagining possibilities.

Every home has potential, sometimes hidden behind an awkward floor plan, an outdated addition, or rooms that no longer suit the way you live.

Our architectural designers specialize in complex residential renovations, reconfigured layouts, and thoughtfully integrated home additions. We consider the existing character of your home alongside your goals, exploring creative solutions that balance architectural beauty with everyday function.

Using advanced tools including Matterport 3D scanning, Revit architectural modeling, and detailed 3D renderings, we help you visualize possibilities before construction begins. Our team then translates the approved design into comprehensive construction documentation, bringing precision and clarity to each stage of the project.

Interior Design & Design Development

The details that make a home exceptional.

Great design comes to life through the details. The proportions of a kitchen island. The finish of a cabinet door. The way stone, wood, and metal come together to create a room that feels effortlessly cohesive.

Our interior design team guides the selection of materials, finishes, and fixtures while developing the cabinetry, millwork, and architectural details that give each space its character.

We consider both the beauty and practicality of every decision, from how materials transition between rooms to how custom cabinetry will be constructed. With our designers, estimators, and builders collaborating throughout the process, your design is developed with a clear understanding of craftsmanship, budget, and execution.

A fresh perspective. A space that's entirely yours.

From furniture and lighting to rugs, wallpaper, and window treatments, we bring together pieces that feel beautifully considered, inviting, and distinctly personal.

One Vision. One Collaborative Team.

The best design decisions consider both the vision and the practical details of bringing it to life. Throughout our renovation projects, architectural designers develop the spatial solutions, interior designers refine materials and detailing, estimators evaluate cost implications, and construction professionals contribute their knowledge of how things are built. This shared approach helps us identify challenges earlier, make informed investment decisions, and carry the original design intent through construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between architectural design, design development, and interior decorating?

Architectural design establishes the structure and flow of your home, including layouts, additions, and major spatial changes. Design development refines the permanent elements of a space, such as cabinetry, millwork, finishes, and fixtures. Interior decorating brings together furnishings, textiles, wallpaper, and decorative lighting to complete the design.

How much does it cost?

Our architectural and interior design services are integrated into our design-build process, rather than offered independently. The process begins with a flat-fee design engagement based on the scope of your project, starting at $7,000. As the design develops, our team works collaboratively to refine the scope and establish construction pricing.

Interior Decorating can be included in a renovation or engaged independently. Decorating services are billed at an hourly design rate, with an agreed-upon furnishings budget for each room and project-specific procurement and installation costs.

What if I don't know where to begin with my home's design?

That's exactly what our design team is here for. We'll help you establish a direction, explore possibilities, and navigate decisions with confidence. From architectural layouts and material selections to understanding their impact on your project budget, our collaborative process provides guidance at every stage.

Your Home. Beautifully Considered.

Whether you're reimagining an entire home or refining the details of a favorite space, we'd love to hear what you have in mind.
