Process | Kaminski + Pew

Kaminski + Pew is a full-service architecture and interior design firm, offering a range of services to bring your design vision to life. With our comprehensive design approach, our team is equipped to handle a variety of project types, from technical documentation to decorative selections. We approach design with an understanding of real furniture dimensions and human proportions, practical function and circulation, and consideration of how the homeowners will use the spaces each day for years to come.

Architectural Renovation or Addition

Whether taking a full home down to the studs, redesigning part of a home, or expanding with new construction, our architectural design services aim to achieve a result that feels authentic, cohesive, and as if it’s always been there. These projects include structural changes, relocation of walls, redistribution of spaces, and fabrication or replication of architectural details such as trim and millwork. Our service includes specification of all materials, fixtures, and details so that builders have comprehensive design information and no detail is left to chance.

Targeted Interior Renovation

These projects walk the line between architecture and interior design, focusing on one room or multiple small spaces, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Often there will be demolition involved, but generally the renovation work is cosmetic in nature and will not require any structural changes or spacial redistribution.

Finishes, Fixtures, and Furnishings

This service may be standalone or overlap with a renovation-based project, and we approach the design of each room from the outside in. While Furnishings projects do not include any structural or partition changes, we begin by considering the architectural elements of the space and each surface material, including paint, wallpaper, window treatments, millwork, and lighting. We carefully source each piece of furniture and decor to enhance the architectural setting and create functional, inviting spaces to be lived in and enjoyed.

As a dual architecture-and-interiors firm, there is fluidity between our project types and services. What starts as a furnishings project may morph into an targeted renovation project, or that what starts as a renovation project may continues on to be fully furnished upon completion. Each project is unique, so we tailor our services to meet each client’s specific needs.
