Sublime Garden Design: A new chapter begins…

January 22, 2014

Last Friday we celebrated the opening of our brand new design studio at 127 Ave A, Ste. 102 in Snohomish, WA.

We were thrilled to ‘officially’ open our doors and celebrate with several of our clients, contractors, vendors, family and friends!

The opening was a culmination of six weeks of hard work that started with refinishing concrete floors, to painting, replacing trim, furnishing and creating a place that felt like us.

It has long been a dream of mine to have a place that we could meet with clients and work as a team that was both inspiring and also allowed us to be focused and efficient in a way that was becoming difficult in our overcrowded home offices.

When we ventured upon this journey we started by asking ourselves questions about how we wanted to work, what was important to us and our clients, and how we wanted the space to feel. These are all questions we ask our clients during the landscape design process.

I think the best part of the process was that we did it together- as a team.  Not unlike creating a garden, the feeling you have about a space is different when you play a part in creating that space.

Everyone’s opinions were considered and it was important that the space reflect our individual personalities as well as our professional needs.

What we have created is an uncluttered space with simple décor, adorned with photos of our work to both convey to our clients what we do but also to remind us of what we have accomplished and why we come to work each day.

Each photo of a client’s garden brings back a set of memories and the things we learned during each project.
