A note from Melanie:

I’ve always had a passion for art and design—even as a teenager, I loved painting bright, fun canvases and blending colors in creative ways. Then, through selling real estate and touring so many beautiful homes, I dreamt of one day renovating and designing myself. When the stars aligned a few years ago, I jumped at the chance to bring my love for detail into new home construction.

I’ve always been drawn to homes that blend old and new, so I focus on infusing that “old-world charm” into new builds while incorporating fun pops of color (like my statement doors!) and unique accents in every project.

To me, it’s not just about building a home—it’s about creating the feeling of home. My design aesthetic brings a bit of magic and whimsy while staying practical and efficient for everyday living.

I hope you enjoy the views—both the skyline and the design!
