Residential Design

Designing residential spaces is extremely fun and rewarding.  The projects range in scale from H.U.D. housing complexes to park sized estates.  And each time we work on a home there is an immediate and strong sense of gratification on our behalf and also the owners.

Context plays an important role in design and we look at the surrounding area for visual, historical and aesthetic clues on what our design should be.  Homes are special places regardless of where they are located. Everyone needs a place to relax and decompress. Homes and their adjoining gardens are the perfect place to do that.

One of the founding principals of Corduroy is to ensure that our clients have a great experience. It is important we have the client present as often as possible.  We need your input. We want you to be a part of the design process, nothing is better than creating.

Project Management

Corduroy is dedicated not only to the sustainability of our designs but also the client’s experience. Projects should run on time, on budget and that is where we excel.  Straight communication and collaboration are critical for success.

Commitment to Design

There is a pragmatic shift needed in the design industry.  Projects have to be understood on several levels and that requires true outside the box thought.  We develop partnerships with people outside of the design community and have them contribute to our design process.  We feel that the best designs come from collaboration and the deeper that pool of input, the greater the design will be.

Sustainability in Design

Design should be multi-purpose, modular and interactive. More often than not real innovations, the type that can change lives, are not a part of design. Corduroy is turning sustainability into great design by considering the earth, the user and their experience.
