Behind the Scenes: The Studio Garrison Design Process
Taking the Guesswork Out of the Design Process
At Studio Garrison, we understand that embarking on a luxury home design project can be both exhilarating and daunting. That's why we've developed a comprehensive design process. Our process not only ensures seamless collaboration between our team and our clients but also streamlines the entire journey from initial concept to final execution.
"Our goal is to take the stress and guesswork out of the design process," explains Principal Garrison Hullinger. "By involving our clients every step of the way and maintaining open lines of communication, we're able to bring their vision to life with precision and ease."
The Studio Garrison design process begins with an in-depth consultation. Our team takes the time to truly understand our clients' lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and functional needs. This initial discovery phase is crucial, as it lays the foundation for every design decision that follows. And it’s not just about making an interior look good. It’s about allowing homeowners to live their life according to their needs.
"We don't just ask our clients what they want – we ask them how they want to live," says Hullinger. "By digging deeper into their daily routines, entertaining habits, and long-term goals, we're able to create spaces that genuinely improve their quality of life."
Once we've established a clear vision, our team moves into the conceptual design phase. This is where our designers and design architects begin to bring the ideas to life through detailed sketches, mood boards, and 3D renderings. And it’s our use of that 3D modeling technology throughout our design process that sets Studio Garrison apart.
Maintaining an Open Dialog
"We create highly realistic 3D models of the proposed design. With that, we're able to give our clients an immersive experience," explains Hullinger. "They can virtually see their future home, visualizing the spaces and making informed decisions before a single nail is hammered."
This level of precision and attention to detail extends beyond the design phase. You’ll find it embedded in the construction process as well. Our team works closely with contractors and tradespeople, ensuring that every aspect of the design is executed flawlessly.
"Communication and collaboration are key," says Hullinger. "By maintaining an open dialogue with all parties involved, we can address any challenges or changes promptly, ensuring that the final product remains true to the client's vision."
For a recent project in Lake Oswego, OR, our team's meticulous design process was put to the test. The clients had a specific vision for their outdoor living space. It included a sprawling entertainer's kitchen, multiple lounge areas, and a stunning infinity-edge pool. All of these features are difficult to conceptualize and envision in your head, or even in 2D plans. It was only through the power of 3D modeling that the clients could truly see our shared vision.

An Unwavering Commitment to Excellence
"Through our collaborative approach and the use of 3D modeling, we were able to refine the design and address potential issues before construction began," explains Hullinger. "This not only saved time and resources but also ensured that the final result exceeded our clients' expectations."
At Studio Garrison, we take pride in our unwavering commitment to excellence. We have the ability to navigate even the most complex design projects with ease. By prioritizing communication, leveraging cutting-edge technology, and fostering a collaborative environment, we ensure that every step of the design process is a seamless and rewarding experience for our clients.
