## About

### Houzz Badges

- Recommended on Houzz
- 1,000 Ideabook Saves
- Best of Houzz winner
- Offers Custom Work

Beauty comes in large part from an unconscious understanding and sensing the relationship of elements in a setting. The way light and shadow play off each other. The way forms merge and accent each other. The tactile feel of finishes, how the texture of a surface feels under your fingers and how light reflects off it. 

Element Studio integrates design with form and function to create beautiful spaces. We approach every project with a spirit of shared ideas and free-flowing collaboration to achieve a truly beautiful space that becomes a pleasure simply to step into.

### All 5 reviews

**★★★★★ — Forward Architecture, LLC., Jan. 2022**

> Paul and I partnered for a project for a restaurant redesign in October and I found Paul did great work in coordinating with everyone to get the project done quickly and on time and find a design that the client loved quickly with only a quick review. He was a great fit and a great help for the project.

**★★★★★ — HU-108829525, May 2019**

> Paul created an ambitious and unique design for our home remodel. He was available throughout to help us with decisions as well as changes  that needed to be made, including some at the last minute. We have recommended element studio two other friends, who have been as impressed as we have.

**Comment from Element Studio:**

> I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write this review I very much appreciate it.

**★★★★★ — Scott England, Feb. 2017**

> Paul provided great creativity and quality of design to my project.   His timeliness and follow-up is great.  I would highly recommend him for projects both small and large.

**★★★★★ — cristinemp, Feb. 2016**

> Paul has been a pleasure to work with in all ways.  He is not only a gifted architect, but brings to the design field his early hands-on experience with hammer and nail.  That in-the-field know-how is invaluable, since he can think like an architect, a designer, and a contractor.  He is responsive as an architect, able to provide new ideas and concepts spontaneously during meetings.  He is thorough in his homework and behind-the-scenes inquiries about subtleties in code.  Paul not only knows his architectural options, but is well versed in product lines and thus can advise the client on the spot about products, availability, rough costs, design integrity, etc.  This was a great bonus during meetings as we explored design options and often kept us from spending unnecessary time on fruitless ideas.  He listens to client needs, makes appropriate adjustments that often far exceed limited client perspectives, and then demonstrates a further willingness to scratch away on tissue paper to show the client other options (should the client need help visualizing or want other options).  Paul is both artist and draftsman, which greatly helps clients in developing a greater sense of scope, scale, and visual elements of the project.  He's as pleasant as they come, prompt with feedback, willing to listen to budget concerns, and an all-around delight to work with.  And he came highly recommended by our top notch, very discerning contractor !

**★★★★★ — Renita, Feb. 2016**

> Paul's has been great to work with.  Paul listened when we described what features and functionalities we wanted in our remodel.  Even though sometimes my husband and I wouldn't value the same features, Paul created the perfect blend.  Our city building department is difficult to work, often times not being consistent with their interpretation of their own guidelines.  Paul was diligent in providing the information needed to get the permit approved.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Can you tell me where I can purchase the post lighting?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I like the post lighting and would like to know where those fixtures can be purchased.

A: I designed it and had them built by a local steel fabricator

**Q: Is this wood or composite?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Is this wood or composite?

A: DECKING IS COMPOSITE TOP RAIL IS IRON WOOD - PROBABLY IPE

**Q: love the color!** *(in Photo Questions)*

What color is the house?

A: They where Benjamin Moore colors
Providence Olive HC- 98 is on the board and batten and the shed dormer.
Davenport tan HC- 76 the light brown above the green and below the
band on the gable end peaks.
Middlebury brown HC- 68 dark brown above upper band at peak.
Manchester Tan HC-81 on all window & door trim, rake and fascia.
On the cupola - Providence olive with Manchester Tan on the window trim
& fascia
HC-79 Greenbrier Beige with 150% of the formula making it darker/more
intense. At outermost fascia boards

**Q: counter material** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the counter top made out of?

A: We normal use a quartz man-made stone with a some sparkle to it but mostly just white.  Just about every brand and every fabricator can produce this look and will have a something with that sparkly white look.  The edge is simply fabricated to a nice thickness - typically the smallest I will do is 2 1/4" up to about 4" like this one.

**Q: I like this light -who makes it?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I designed it and had it built by a local metalworker, I got the glass from a commercial supply house, the cost of custom fixtures is normally fairly comparable to high end stock ones, we did four of this one in two different configurations so there was some saving in repetition though they each contained  about 70 individual pieces of metal.
