Our Services
End-to-end design for new builds, remodels, and complete transformations — guided by The Altura Method™
Every full-service project is guided by The Altura Method™ — a six-phase design process built from two decades of managing high-stakes projects for Fortune 100 companies. It's structured enough to protect your investment and flexible enough to honor your vision. From first conversation to final reveal, nothing is left to chance.
The Altura Method™
01
A no-pressure introduction — in person, virtual, or by referral. We learn about your vision, your lifestyle, and your space. You learn how we work. If there's a fit, we move forward together.
02
This is where Altura is different. Before we sketch a single line, we build a comprehensive design brief — a structured document capturing your vision, your non-negotiables, your lifestyle patterns, and your budget reality. This becomes the contract between your dreams and our execution.
03
Spatial planning, floor plans, design concepts, material selections, and renderings. We present options, we refine together, and nothing moves to construction until you've approved every detail. Your sign-off is sacred.
04
Construction begins with us as your advocate on-site. We coordinate contractors, review work against the approved plans, manage timelines, and flag issues before they become problems. You see progress in real-time through The Atelier.
05
Procurement, custom furnishings, fixture installation, and the finishing layers that transform a construction site into a living space. This is where the design comes alive — and where most studios rush. We don't.
06
Final styling. Professional photography. A walkthrough where you experience your space for the first time as it was always meant to be. The brief we wrote together in Phase 02? Every line of it lives in this room.
Project Types
Ground-up residential homes, commercial spaces, and hospitality venues — designed from foundation to finish.

Thoughtful expansions that integrate seamlessly with your existing structure — designed in phases that grow with your life.
Design + Build, Under One Roof
What makes Altura different? Our founder, Lei, wears two hats — she leads Altura Collective as Principal Designer and serves as Managing Director of Design & Development at SFL Development Group. That means when you hire Altura, you're not just getting a designer who "coordinates" with a contractor. You're getting the person who runs both sides of the operation.
For clients requiring full construction support, we deliver turnkey build-outs — from foundation to finish — with dedicated crews and a single point of contact. A licensed general contractor and a senior architectural designer working as one team, eliminating the miscommunication, markups, and compromises that come with hiring them separately.
Every project begins with a conversation. Tell us about your space and we'll show you what's possible.
Full service projects start at $8,400
