Led by Paul Vespia, author of The One-Year Home, with interior design considered alongside architectural design and construction.
From the first layout decision to lighting, millwork and finishes, our East Greenwich interiors team works with architectural design, permitting and construction. One Rhode Island team considers the whole home from the beginning.
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 whole-home renovations take 6 to 10 months, including design and construction, compared with 2 to 3 years coordinating separate architectural design firms and builders. New builds are designed and built in 12 to 14 months. Your schedule is confirmed around your property's requirements. 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.
Real interiors, real homes.
Five Fourteen is a 1929 Providence home, a historic renovation with furnishings. 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.
Layout, natural light, cabinetry, fixtures and finishes are planned together, so the home feels considered rather than assembled later.
One Rhode Island team.
One team coordinates architectural design, interior design, permitting and construction. We bring you the decisions that are yours to make.
Certified Professional Builder.
The only Certified Professional Builder in the USA from the Association of Professional Builders. This is a private certification, not a state license. Details.
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
Tell us what is changing
a purchase, a new home, an addition or a home that no longer works for your life.
02
Review the whole home
understand layout, light, structure, approvals and the spaces you want to change.
03
Design together
coordinate concepts, architectural plans, millwork, lighting and finish selections with the construction plan.
04
Build and complete
one accountable team carries the work through construction and handover. Add furnishings only if you want that service.
I bought a home and planned to call an interior designer first. Can I start here?
Yes. Tell us how you want the home to feel and function, including pieces you already own and the personal style you want to keep. We can assess whether those changes call for interiors alone or an integrated renovation.
I am thinking about a refresh. Is this the right fit?
Begin with the rooms and changes you are imagining. We focus on custom homes and major renovations. A small cosmetic job is not the work we take, and we will say so. Please share your goals so we can explain the appropriate service.
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.
Do I need to purchase furnishings?
No. Furnishings are optional. Interior design includes concepts, lighting, millwork, fixtures and finishes coordinated with the home.
Can I see the interior design before construction?
Planning and design includes the concepts and selections needed to establish the scope and fixed-price construction proposal.
Will I need to manage different firms?
One team coordinates architectural design, interior design, permitting and construction. We bring you the decisions that are yours to make.
