Concept Development

Planning

Selection + EXECUTION

Concept development is at the core of our design process. We work closely with our clients and a curated group of architects to understand their vision and translate it into a cohesive design plan that captures the essence of their space. 

planning is essential for creating harmonious interiors + exteriors. We meticulously analyze the layout of each space to optimize functionality and flow, ensuring that every inch is utilized to its fullest potential.

Choosing the right materials is crucial in bringing a design concept to life. Hooper and her team are part of the packaged process, working alongside the client every step of the way to create a beautiful space- from tile selections to paint to furniture, and beyond!

" Working with HPI+Build has been one of the most positive construction and design processes we have ever had. From the exceptional and clear communication to perfection in their attention to detail, they made our renovation into not only a stunning home, but also a fun experience, one that I looked forward to daily. I like to think we have become friends through this process and I cannot thank them enough! " - P.R.P.
