What sets Soundview Design Solutions apart?

We are not looking to be your standard professional design company. We’re looking for the projects that tend to fall through the cracks of an interiors or architectural firm, projects that could benefit from that design eye, but not at that scope or price-point.

Michelle is a licensed architect (although the license is currently on ice) with over ten years of experience in single and multi-family architectural design as well as project management of senior living remodels. She also has an innate passion for home-making and spatial planning; a passion present since childhood. Her intuitive and professionally trained skillset gives us the ability to deftly assess the approach and execution of a wide range of projects.

Do you draft plans?

Short answer - No, not at this time.

Long answer - While we have a trained architect on board, we’ve chosen to focus that knowledge on this feasibility level instead of full professional status. We will sketch rough floorplans and ideas, take as-built measurements, but stop short of anything you’d take in for permitting. We will gladly recommend our favorite design professionals if and when you need those services. Plus, at that point we’ll have articulated what you’re specifically after, saving you hours of early-stage design fees and getting your pro onboard even faster.

The initial consult fee sounds steep. What do I get out of it?

Years of experience, insight, and a pen! Just kidding about the pen, no swag yet!

The initial consult could very well be the only visit we need to have depending on your project, hence payment for that time (mama has a deck to replace). It’s also the pivotal point of discovery where problems are defined and digested. The consult concludes with a written summary of our discussion and action items to move forward. For the DIY or budget conscious subset, our time may end there (with occasional check-ins because we love a good before and after!) or it could lead to hiring us for further involvement. Which we would love! It’s what we’re here for!

Anything else I should know?

We’re chatty when we’re excited. We don’t believe there are stupid questions. We are here for every dust-bunny riddled, crammed-to-the-brim problem area and we judge you not for it. If we don’t know something, we will tell you we don’t know and we will figure it out.

Everything is figure-out-able.
