Interior Design and Collaborative Project Management for Builders

Our partners are an extension of our team – we are supportive and collaborative. We listen intently to each client’s wishes to deliver designs uniquely tailored to their preferences and to our contractors to find workable, reasonable solutions for successful production and builds.

We strive to ensure each experience with Circa Genevieve is enjoyable, memorable and exceptional – anything less is unacceptable.

 

Genevieve Trousdale interior designerClients have commented, when beginning the home building process, what they thought they wanted was a contractor who would work quickly and within a reasonable budget. But what they discovered is that they REALLY wanted a contractor or builder who communicated well, was honest, reliable and who’s integrity led to high quality work. 

Circa Genevieve shares those same values and operates upon those principles. We offer services tailored to client’s interior design requests and work alongside our contractor partners to ensure the entire process is handled with the highest level of professionalism, dedication and in the best interest of the client. 

We have two decades of experience and expertise in designing interior architecture, millwork, cabinetry, surface materials and finishes, plumbing, appliances, lighting, hardware, bespoke furnishings, art and accessories. 2D/3D plans and renderings are presented to clearly illustrate design schemes and to set the stage for our planned projects so we can successfully bring concepts to life. Builders have commented that our DD sets are as lengthy as their CD sets!  We are dedicated to providing unmatched service and full project oversight throughout the design process.  Read on for our process in more detail.
