Stephens Architecture offers qualified and experienced High End Residential Interior and Home Design. The approach is based in classical training in art and architecture and supplemented by knowledge gained in European travel.

The approach is illustrated through a discrete collection of distinctive design perspectives shown on each of the following pages. Each perspective is reponsive and custom tailored to client need by relating select client aspects of fine art to architecture.

The approach contributes to gracious urban living by enhancing and articulating client's distinctive artistic sensibilities. Design Collection includes:

  • Contemporary
