About
Welcome to Artful Abodes
A boutique design-build firm specializing in Project Planning for Equestrian Barns, ADUs, Granny Flats, and Small-Space Living.
The Beginning...
Making the decision to embark on a different path filled me with trepidation, but I am so happy I took the leap of faith. By combining a lifetime filled with horses, a love of beautiful homes, 30 years in the construction and real estate industries and also a person who loves the idea of downsizing into small space living, I provide a team that delivers the perfect package.
Whether it be an Equestrian Facility or a small space living project, we not only have the years of experience, both personal and professional, we have a complete understanding of what clients are searching for in their build. A unique source for equestrians, active adults and adults looking to escape from the pressure of large homes. Being well-versed in the ADU process for those clients looking to add additional living space on their existing property. The ADU creates a home for aging parents, college graduate children just starting out in the world or allows private space for live-in help that may be assisting in making your day to day life easier.
These skills and knowledge have been placed in a box and wrapped with a pretty ribbon. The end result s - the perfect package. The most exciting part is making a difference to those that decide to allow us the pleasure of creating a space where they (or their horses) can live beautifully too.
The Intention...
By taking an artful approach, where every project "is" a work of art, every piece of the project is a syllable of the words in the language of the design. Each piece will speak through its surroundings and bring the outdoors in while conserving the natural bends and curves of nature, its texture and color.
Choices such as living roofs, living walls, water features, solar options and more, create an oasis not only providing beautiful surroundings but also allowing nature to be a partner in your space.
The intention is that every project, be it horse or human living space, every client and every location reflects the Artful Abodes belief of living beautifully. Each individual piece of the project, especially, the client - their style, their location, their needs & wants align with their budget and are always a consideration throughout the project.
By collaborating with the best trades from initial design through permitting, the build, interior selections, and landscape design & gardening, we strive to ensure not only a satisfied customer, but an over-joyed client living beautifully in their Artful Abodes space.
The Belief...
If you're thinking of building a barn, adding an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), aka Granny Flat to your home, or have intentions to build a small- space living dwelling on your land, please feel free to reach out below, because everyone should be living beautifully.
