FINISHES, FIXTURES AND ARCHITECTURAL INTERIORS

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Not pillows. Not throws. This is architectural design.

We're known for historic homes. Major restorations. New construction with character. We design for the structure itself: walls, rooflines, windows, cabinetry, stone, fixtures, and the way light and people move through a space. When you're building a home, we're your first call.

Step-By-Step

Discovery

Understanding how you live, what you love, the program for the home.

Schematic Design

Concept, layout, the first vision of the space on paper.

Design Development

Refining every decision: materials, millwork, fixtures, finishes.

Construction Documents

The full set of drawings and specifications that bring the design to life for our builders to execute.

We’ll handle all of the details of the process from start to finish to ensure that everything is organized, on time, and on track.

Deliverables

Owner's Program & Vision Document

Before any drawings, we capture how you live, who visits, what you can't stand, and what you can't live without. The foundation every decision downstream is built on.

Interior Plans & Elevations

Scaled, dimensioned drawings of every room — floor plans, interior elevations, sections, reflected ceiling plans — coordinated with your architect's shell. The visual blueprint your contractor builds from.

Material & Finish Schedules

Every surface, fixture, and custom detail — drawn, scheduled, and specified. All selections are specified and identified.

Specification Book

Bound documentation for every selection in your home — cabinetry, millwork, tile, stone, paint, lighting, hardware, fixtures. Organized room by room, sourced and specified, yours to keep.

Project Management

A documented record of every order, decision, and milestone — schedule tracking, meeting minutes, vendor coordination, and a single source of truth in your project folder from kickoff to install.

Warranty & Care Package

A bound book of every product warranty, care instruction, and vendor contact — organized by category, with the maintenance schedule that keeps your home looking like the day we handed it over

We have garnered a reputation for beautifully balanced spaces that feel both refreshingly modern and endlessly classic. The signature Studio McGee style is warm, thoughtful, and inviting. We have designed homes with traditional details and vintage pieces, and homes with sleek lines and organic materials, all while weaving our signature style throughout. Our talented team of design professionals tailor their work to the needs of each client, taking into account how they’ll live within the space, and whether the home is a new build or a renovation. We also work to matchmake, aligning each design team to a client’s unique aesthetic and lifestyle.
