Our
current studio location in the Lakeshore Village Shops

Working from our extensive knowledge of space
planing and ergonomics, we design handmade furniture for the kitchen and
other rooms throughout your home. Each space needs to be thoughtfully designed,
not just decorated. The first steps in our design process is the study of your
space, the requirements you have for the use of the your space and the flow of
people about your space.
Starting the Process:
The initial meeting takes place either at the home
site or the design studio, if architectural plans are available. At this
meeting we brainstorm about design ideas and discuss the best use of the given
space. We are able to preform preliminary take-offs of the space in order to
establish budgetary estimations. One of the main purposes of this meeting is to
establish the cost of a design proposal. We develop this information from our
conversations with you, our visit to the space and the fundamental design
principles of Renaissance Design Studio.
The Design Phase:
After preliminary sketches and budgetary
estimations are presented, we begin the design process. We work closely with
you through a series of meetings to finesse the design. Typically we will
present two or three solutions for the space and gradually integrate the ideas
into the presentation of the final layout. We then take the final layout and
add furniture detailing, adornments, label specific storage area solutions and
other aesthetics to present detailed elevation drawings and perspective
renderings.
Color Story:
Your color story develops once the layout is finalized. This is where we select the various colors, textures and materials to create a palette to complement your design.
Production:
Once the designs are finalized and the color story completed, we start
the production phase. The furniture we offer is custom built to our exacting
specifications. We work with teams of dedicated craftspeople, using only the
finest materials, woodworking skills and the most advanced technology.
Delivery & Installation:
Upon designing your dream room to your
exact requirements, our services continue as we work directly with your
contractor. Missi and John measure the site upon framing and will relay all
the information necessary to properly fit the space for appliances, plumbing,
electric and provide your contractor with all necessary rough-in requirements.
Through out the project, we inspect the space progression during rough-in and
after drywall to be sure it's ready for our installation staff.
Renaissance Design Studio's craftsman are trained to properly fit and install
your furniture. Missi and John will oversee the building and installation
process, ensuring that your finished project exceeds your expectations. Once
counter tops and appliances are installed, we return to perform the necessary
fine tuning.
After Completion of the Space:
Before you move into the space, we
request a client walk through to ensure your complete satisfaction. Most of the
products we represent have a lifetime warranty and we are always happy to
return to our clients' homes for required maintenance.
