approach
2Michaels creates fresh, elegant, comfortable, and timeless homes that reflect each client’s distinct personality and life history. We strive for an environment that is unique, layered, and most importantly personal. Budgets are adhered to with an emphasis on quality and value. Each project is handled professionally and completed in a timely manner. We understand that designing one's home can be overwhelming. Our approach is to make the process enjoyable and fun. We encourage an atmosphere of shared ideas and interests - whether it’s art, literature, film, music, fashion, or even comedy.
process
We thoroughly research each home, which have included lofts, pre-war co-ops, post-war modern condominiums and houses around the country and abroad. We study the history and the parameters of the environs we are developing. Spaces are measured, floor plans, elevations, and 3D imaging are created to clearly define and communicate our vision. The selection of furnishings is done with a complete understanding of our clients needs with an emphasis on each project being special. Our passion for furniture, fabrics, antiques, and art is enhanced by years of experience. Over time we’ve gathered a team of collaborators who help implement our projects seamlessly. Each architect, general contractor, wood worker, craftsperson, upholsterer, and curtain maker is skilled, trustworthy, and dependable.
