Their approach to materials and finishes is creative and collaborative. We dovetailed our work in the landscape to blur the line between interior space to outdoor rooms. They are responsive to the client's vision and respectful of deadlines and budgets. We look forward to working together again! **★★★★★ — tedbonneau, Aug. 2014** > I'm a principal at OXBSTUDIO Architects. My firm has collaborated on multiple projects with Northbrook Design and I would continue to work with Katherine and her team given the opportunity again. Katherine is a very talented designer, but she is also more than that. She has the experience, knowledge and organizational ability to be the lead on a construction project which actually is quite rare for an interior designer, in my opinion. She clearly has the client's best interests in mind in her approach to a project. With Northbrook design you get that rare combination of design talent and know-how of how to execute a construction project with efficiency and I recommend working with them without any hesitation. **★★★★★ — Chris French Metal, Inc., Aug. 2014** > We really enjoy working with Katherine and her team. They are great collaborators when it comes to custom designs and push us at our craft. **★★★★★ — jlaux25, Aug. 2014** > Northbrook provides comprehensive, first rate design services. Katherine takes the time to tailor your design to your individual needs, lifestyle and budget and then allows you to be as involved or uninvolved as you'd like. She will scour her sources looking for just the right piece not because the client demands it, but because of her own exacting standards. > She designed my NYC apartment from scratch with very little input and when she was finished I was astonished with the results. It was beautifully and thoughtfully designed and 100% turn key. I couldn't have been happier. > If you are looking for designer who listens, is a delight to work with and delivers an on time /on budget project you cant go wrong with Northbrook. **★★★★★ — deaperyguy, Aug. 2014** > I have had the opportunity to work with Katherine and her team on many projects as their drapery & shade professional. They are an extremely talented professional group and I personally look forward to seeing their work unfold in front of my eyes. Can't wait till the next one we are on together. > > Installation Services & Consulting > www.FACEBOOK.com/Draperycontractor **★★★★★ — Maida Lynn, Aug. 2014** > Katherine North was the lead designer on my first home renovation in 2005. She was an integral part of the team which also included the general contractor -- but no architect. Katherine did a terrific job laying out two new bathrooms, designing the furniture plan for every room of the home, and selecting a color palate, fabrics, fixtures, and furnishings. She was consistently prompt with responses to questions, respectful of deadlines, and her invoicing was clear and timely. She honored our budget and masterfully mixed higher-end custom pieces with inexpensive off-the shelf items to create a cohesive design. The finished result won a California Home + Design Magazine award that year, which she fully deserved! **★★★★★ — Matarozzi Pelsinger Builders, Aug. 2014** > We worked with Northbrook Design and a large remodel in Pacific Heights earlier this year. Katherine and her team were creative, professional, and a pleasure to work with. The place looks amazing and the clients were extremely pleased with the results. We'd jump at the opportunity to work with them again. **★★★★★ — Gast Architects, Aug. 2013** > Katherine and her team at Northbrook Design are currently working with our firm, Gast Architects, on a complete renovation of a large home in San Francisco – it’s been a delightful collaboration with us, our clients, and the general contractor, Matarozzi Pelsinger Builders. Katherine brings creativity, acute design sensitivity, and excellent organization skills to our team. She understands and works well with our design concept to deliver finishes and furnishings responsive to our clients’ needs and tastes. And she’s just a pleasant person to be around: professional, personable, and articulate. We look forward to future projects together. ## Selected projects - [Animated High Rise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/animated-high-rise-pj-vj~1498799) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: The fusion of two New York apartments provided a stunning canvas for this unique project.
