• Nothing is ordered without a recorded approval.

• One record. Every decision lives in a single shared place, so no one reconstructs a choice from memory.

• Confidentiality. We never share client names, addresses, or budgets without written permission.

• Transparent sourcing. Before work begins, we put in writing how trade pricing and vendor relationships are handled

• Early warnings. We tell you as soon as a selection puts a date at risk.

With a background in investment properties and interior architecture and design, I noticed that small boutique luxury home builders were missing something: an in house selections coordinator who makes sure the right materials and interior architecture (and sometimes the exterior) are selected, cohesive, considered, and on time, on site.

I love materiality and the hard build elements that become a home’s special moments: millwork, lighting, decorative plumbing, flooring, pattern, space, scale, and function. I saw a need, and I had what it took to fill it: a project management and consulting background, a designer’s eye, and trade relationships and pricing. scout studio grew from there.

It is named for the best friend a gal could have, my golden retriever, Scout. Find us on a job site, in one of our two 1990s Jeep Wranglers, or overlooking the water in Charleston, coastal Maine, Southern California, or Nantucket. Scout and I view architecture the way we view the world… with beauty and function.
