The process begins with the observation of the space and understanding the project goals, budget and aesthetic. Having in mind proportion, scale and order; the goal, function, and location of a room or home are all analyzed together for the purpose of flow and balance. Concepts and sketches are then created, with as many as three schemes presented. Once a scheme is selected, a budget is then created so that the creation process can begin.
Roxana Lavin founded Lavin Design in 2004 in San Francisco after having gained experience at a residential and interior design firm well known for their work on historical and luxury residential projects.
