Glenda Hilliard
Principal and design director
Leads the design team and meets every client at the first conversation.
About the studio
A drawing room and a job site under one roof
We are about twenty people on West 6th Street: designers, an estimator, project managers, superintendents and carpenters.
Most firms have a designer or a builder, and the client carries the plan between them. We keep both in one building, so the person who draws the wall is the one who has to build it, and who tells you what it costs.
The studio
The people you will deal with
About twenty of us: designers, an estimator, project managers, superintendents and carpenters. These are six you meet before anything is signed.
Suresh Doshi
Principal and head of construction
Reads every drawing before it goes to price and signs each build agreement.
Iliana Cervera
Director of preconstruction
Writes the planning binder and builds the budget behind the maximum price.
Hyunwoo Baek
Senior project manager
Your point of contact from the build agreement to the walk-through.
Carmelo Guajardo
Lead superintendent
On site every working day, protecting the house while we are in it.
Christa Hoover
Interior design lead
Runs the selections book and sets up the sample table at the studio.
How we work
Three rules we hold ourselves to
Draw it before we price it
A number made from a sketch is a guess. We price from drawings you have read.
One team from start to finish
The people who wrote the binder stay on the project. You won't be handed to someone new at the build agreement.
Say no early
If a plan won't fit the lot, the budget or the structure, you hear it in the binder phase.
