Led by Paul Vespia, author of The One-Year Home, with architectural design, interiors and construction in one team.
Architectural design, interior design, permitting and construction with one team in East Greenwich. Start with how you want to live, then see the design and a fixed price before committing to build.
The planning session is a conversation about your property, goals, likely reviews and a realistic timeline.
What you know before you build.
A fixed price, set during planning. You see the design and a fixed construction price before you commit to building.
A move-in date you can plan around. Typical renovations take 6 to 10 months and new builds 12 to 14, including design and construction.
One team accountable from design to keys. Architectural design, interior design, permitting and construction stay with one team, so there are no handoffs between separate firms.
Start with a planning session for your property. Share the address, or the listing you are considering, and we will talk through what is possible, the reviews that may apply and a realistic timeline.
Typical renovations are completed in 6 to 10 months, including design and construction. New builds are designed and built in 12 to 14 months. Coordinating a separate architect and builder typically takes 2 to 3 years. Your property's approvals, scope and conditions determine its schedule. These are typical ranges, not a promise for every home. Project scope, approvals and site conditions affect the schedule.

A fixed price established during planning
Planning and design is a paid phase under a separate design agreement. Before construction, we define the scope and establish the construction price in your construction contract. Items not fully selected may be included as allowances. Differences between selections and their allowances, requested scope changes and unforeseen conditions may affect the price or schedule. Changes are documented through the written change-order process in your agreement.
See the design in real homes.
Three Ten is a custom new build in a historic district. The project page says the French Eclectic exterior was shaped in coordination with Providence's Historic District Commission. Six Twelve is a 1930 Spanish Revival on Providence's East Side, a historic renovation and second-floor addition.
Design, buildability and budget all at once, significantly reducing the timeline.
Site planning, zoning feasibility, concept development and construction drawings are considered alongside interiors and construction from the beginning.
One team in East Greenwich.
Architectural design, interior design, permitting and construction with one team in East Greenwich. Furnishings remain optional. Start with us before assembling separate firms.

Love Coming Home.
You share your vision, we handle the rest.
Three years. That is what the industry considers normal for a custom home. It should take one.

How it works
01
Consultation & Assessment
share your vision, property and timing. We assess opportunities, constraints and whether our team is the right fit.
02
Planning & Design
develop architectural design and interiors with engineering, construction planning and a detailed fixed-price proposal.
03
Approvals & Preparation
coordinate HDC, CRMC, DEM and FEMA requirements where applicable, resolve selections and prepare for construction.
04
Construction & Handover
one team manages the work, provides weekly reports and carries the home through the final walkthrough.
Are you an architectural design or construction firm?
We provide residential architectural design together with permitting, interiors and construction. Where a licensed professional is required, that person is engaged separately.
Do I need to hire a separate architect first?
Start with us before assembling separate firms. We will discuss whether the integrated design-build process fits your property and goals.
When will I know the fixed price?
You receive the construction scope and price before committing to build. The construction agreement explains allowances, exclusions and how changes or unforeseen conditions affect the price and schedule.
Can coastal approvals take longer?
Yes. CRMC review can range from weeks to eighteen months depending on the site. We evaluate the requirements early and establish a property-specific schedule.
Is interior design included?
Interior design is part of the integrated service. Furnishings are an optional addition, not a requirement.
