Your Design Studio Deserves An Expert!

This studio won the Silver Award for Best Design Studio at the Nationals. The cabinet and counter selection gallery views many of the kitchen vignettes, to inspire, educate and streamline decision-making. Strategic space planning is our specialty! While many attempt to imitate our studios, they don’t understand the strategy BEHIND why we do what we do, so they end up with mistakes, missed opportunities, and they break the rules of what NOT to do in Design Studios! Doesn’t your Design Studio deserve an expert?

Sell More Homes!

This studio proved that a small builder (Rochester, NY) can use a free-standing high-visibility location to not only provide an exceptional selections experience, but draw traffic, close new deals, and capture market share by differentiating themselves as a leading builder.

Create a Powerful EXPERIENCE!

Here’s just two of the kitchen vignettes at this national award-winning studio, used for culinary events and interactive learning. This 7,000 sf design studio was responsible for a 20% increase in option sales in it’s first year of operation in 2010!! And what’s more, the studio we created REPLACED the Builder’s existing studio of about the SAME size!! And they STILL saw a 20% increase in 2010! Imagine what a properly planned and executed studio could do for you in 2012!! PS: Check out the impact site line to the messaging at the entry of the flooring gallery.

Multi-Functional Workstations

Our Design Studios often feature multi-use workstations with great views of simulated real-life environments (vignettes) …strategically located to inspire and educate, while enabling buyers to see their home come together before their eyes. We loved working with this high quality builder in Savannah, GA!

Facilitate Decisions By Providing The Right Tools

Another award-winning studio…this one in the Richmond, VA market. This cabinet/counter gallery shows selections at a glance, enabling buyers to chunk decision-making, then pull out their removable, large-scale samples of cabinets and counters, and “play” with them on the interactive displays. Views of backsplash patterns, faucets, and a typical kitchen vignette inspire and assist.

Small but Organized & Effective

While only 1400 square feet, this Salt Lake City studio is professional and well-organized. Notice how a high quantity of flooring products are arranged in a small space, yet the eye goes only to the products (no distracting displays or fixturing, empty walls etc.)..easy focus on the products helps to chunk decisions, inspiring confidence and saving time! Good things DO come in small packages!

We Design CUSTOM Solutions for Each Client

There’s nothing “cookie-cutter” about what we do. This is one of many versions of multi-functional workstations we create, depending on the Builder’s unique needs. We’ll take best practices developed over the years, and adjust them for each builder’s unique needs and available space. What’s best for one builder is not necessarily best for another. We understand how Design Studios FUNCTION, and how the personalization experience (ie “selections process”) SHOULD work best. Combine that with our proven step-by-step process for learning about YOUR company,what works and what doesn’t…and we can give you a winning recipe for SUCCESS!

A Design Studio Inside A Sales/Welcome Center

This awesome design studio creates a HIGHLY UNIQUE selections experience for these soon-to-be-residents of a Continuing Care Retirement Facility in Pennsylvania. This 2000 sf studio is part of a larger Welcome Facility that was revamped to include this design studio, thereby front-loading the concept of personalization into the sales process. The facility met the goals: to steal market share from a nearby active adult community, to leverage the concept of personalization, to create the feeling of high levels of possible personalization and to increase per-home revenue. The average buyer age here is about 70+!!

We’ve Got Tons of Innovative & Eye-Catching Ideas!

They say “Everything’s bigger in Texas” and that was true here! We designed the two-story portion of this building to include a full exterior facade as both an end-point to a site line, and as part of the exterior selections gallery. There is a fun interactive front door display embedded into this realistic facade. This builder was named national 2011 Builder of the Year by Hanley Wood’s Builder Magazine.

Inspire Your Buyers To Be Creative

The inviting entry view of a superb design studio in Grand Rapids, MI. From the welcome lounge and functional high-end kitchen in the front to the surprises embedded into the exterior selections areas in the rear, this studio encourages potential and current homebuyers to roam around, explore, and want to be a part of it! The signature blue walls provide a creative and eye-catching contrast to the industrial blacked-out ceiling, putting buyers in a mood to appreciate color and style, and to want to be creative in their own homes. Oh yeah, this studio also won a national award for Best Design Center.

WOW! Be the Talk of the Town!

Another national award-winning studio, this one for a public builder in Charlotte, NC. Prospective and current buyers walk into the builder’s corporate office, and then through a Design Studio entrance door which opens to the pathway shown here with a straight-on view to this 22′ exterior facade. The blue sky, green grass, and other innovative touches create the feeling of being outdoors. Then when you open the front door in this facade, you step into a welcome lounge that looks like a living room, and see a full-scale high end kitchen vignette. WOW!!

Gold Award Winner for Best Design Center in the Country

This studio in the Pacific Northwest was The Gold Award Winner for Best Design Center in the Country at the Nationals! The Welcome Lounge was designed to emulate the signature family room layout and style for which this builder is well-known. It also provides a great teaser view of a fully-functional kitchen vignette and offers an upscale hospitality bar, providing the ultimate welcome!

Innovative, Interesting, Interactive Displays

Based on an intense analysis (using our renowned diagnostic tools) of your design studio product offerings and priorities, we’ll create innovative, interesting, and interactive displays for just about anything! We’ve seen every mistake in the book, and can save you from the little errors that often sabotage results.

Strategy-Based Approach Produced Results

Simple displays, if executed correctly and paired with compelling and value-building scripts for Design Consultants can produce amazing results. The builder created this display, and then significantly increased the price of the blown-in insulation, yet saw an eight-fold increase in sales of this product in the first year this design studio was open. We create more than just “pretty” design studios. Our strategy-based approach produces results!

Our Design Studios Don’t Just “Look Pretty”…

Bath vignettes can do more than just “look great” and inspire buyers. With a strategic approach to specifications, they can maximize their ROI by showcasing numerous selections, allowing for demonstration and education. Our design studios don’t just “look pretty.” It’s what we do behind the scenes that make our design studios increase revenue, streamline decision making, and support a superb customer experience. Things like the strategy behind the layouts and site lines, the allocation of floor space, the best practices we deploy, and much more!

We Do More Than Create Amazing Design Studios

Combine a strategy-based approach, years of experience in the sale and marketing of new homes, and a masterful understanding of design studios, and it’s no wonder our training and consulting programs have been achieving results for 10 years!
