living beautifully in small spaces
Welcome to Artful Abodes
A design-build firm specializing in Project Planning for ADUs, Granny Flats, and Small-Space Living.
The Beginning...
Making the decision to embark on a different path by combining years of the love of color, beautiful homes, floral design and 30 years in the construction and real estate industries filled me with trepidation, but I am so happy I took the leap of faith. I wanted something different from my life experiences of managing a portfolio of condominium associations, managing new construction condominium community developments, selling luxury real estate. I wanted to take my skill and knowledge, wrap it up in a box, and put a pretty ribbon around it. I believe I have done this now, and, the best part of it all is that I am making a difference to those that decide to allow me the pleasure of creating a space where they 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, and more create an oasis for you to live beautifully.
The intention is that every project, every client and every location reflects the Artful Abodes belief of living beautifully in small spaces. 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 home.
The Belief...
If you're thinking of 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.
Gratefully,
