Let's work together!
I'm a one-person design studio, and while I know how to light a room, I'm not an electrician.
A thoughtful renovation is managed with the support and collaboration of specialists.
I can refer the experts you'll need to project manage, file, and build your project.
The Design Team
The client and 121 principal, Clare Donohue, form the core team. Together, we create the vision for what will be built. Later, we are supported in realizing that vision with the help of the construction and approvals teams.
The Approvals Team
There's an art to presenting your project to management in a way that smoothes approval. The approvals team will shepherd your project through a series of building and agency reviews, as well as oversee paperwork such as contractor insurances, licenses, asbestos testing and other required documentation.
The Construction Team
Active renovation is a joint effort shared by the client, designer, contractor, and project manager. I can refer contractors and other experts or work with a team of your choosing.
Referred Specialists
CONTRACTORS
Once plans are ready to bid, I can refer qualified contractors, matched to your type of project, personality, and budget. I'm also happy to work with your contractor if you already have someone on board.
I provide a standardized scope of work, so bids can be compared apples to apples. I also provide a standardized construction contract which covers situations and tasks the average homeowner may not think to include.
Contractor bids are never marked up and One to One Studio does not accept payments or percentages of any kind. The price quoted is the price you pay.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
A project manager may be brought on to help order and traffick materials, coordinate scheduling and address non-design issues.
OTHER SPECIALISTS
I work with a wide array of craftspeople from cabinetmakers to upholsterers, paper hangers, etc.
AFTERCARE
A quality renovation benefits from proper maintenance. At the close of the project, I provide care and feeding instructions for regular cleaning. I will also refer specialists for deep cleaning stone, tile and furnishings. After construction wraps, a third party expert is referred to oversee any warrantee or maintenance needs, whether they come up immediately afterwards or years down the line.
