Reimagine Your Space
We work exclusively in the 7x7 and know its homes by heart.
how they were built, how they’ve aged, and what they need to live well.
Our work begins by listening, to the house and to the people who live inside it, considering every detail as part of a connected whole.
We design and build with attunement, partnering with you to steward character, protect integrity, and shape what your home becomes next.
A Team Who’s All In.
We’re a full-service design-build firm specializing in design-forward remodeling grounded in preservation, building science, and craftsmanship. Our team comprehensively handles everything — from feasibility and permitting to design development and construction — ensuring each phase informs the next.
Whether you’re opening up a kitchen, reworking a floor plan, or taking on a full-home remodel, we’re here to guide what is often a messy, uncertain process with cohesion, ease and attunement.
Process, Integrated.
When design and construction happen together, everything holds better. From the very beginning, we’re designing towards what’s buildable, what’s within reach, and what will actually support the way you live.
You won’t be handed plans that overshoot your budget or neglects the needs of your home. Instead, you get a team that’s aligned on your goals, working in step from first sketch to final finish. It’s not just efficient. It’s grounding. And it means your remodel starts from a place of clarity and alignment.
-
Before we talk finishes or layouts, we ask deeper questions about how you live, what’s working, and what’s getting in the way. This phase is all about understanding your home and your goals, exploring what’s possible, and aligning early on scope, budget, and vision.
-
This is where your ideas take shape. We refine the layout, select materials, and prepare detailed construction drawings always checking that what we’re designing fits your home, your needs, and your investment. By the end of this phase, you’ll have a clear, buildable plan, design selections, and a fixed-price contract in hand.
-
This is where the vision becomes reality. With the groundwork laid, we move into construction coordinating every detail so the build flows smoothly and the design stays intact. As we wrap up, we walk the space with you, fine-tune the final touches, and give you time to settle in before calling it complete. It’s more than just a handoff, it’s a homecoming.
We uncover what’s worth preserving, refine what needs rethinking, and build so your home intentionally supports the way you live; using natural materials, design that feels like it’s always belonged, and craftsmanship that offers a quiet sense of joy every day.
“415 is unique and has a competitive edge in that they provide design and construction. We were doing a partial remodel and lived in our home while it was being remodeled, so we needed the right team. 415 did a great job. They were prompt, communicative, highly knowledgeable, and professional. Our building is 90 years old and has many challenging issues. 415 handled them all. They stand by their work. After the project is completed and signed off on, they respond promptly if you need them.”
