Your house designed for your life
We have a bold belief here: that the home design process should be as enjoyable as the end result, and the steps to go from blue-sky ideas to final blueprint ought to be easy and exciting. At LaBella Residential Studio, we’re listeners and collaborators and big dreamers. It’s how we’re able to design homes and landscapes that our clients love to live in.
We start by listening
Tell us how you live, inside and out. Where do you put your Christmas tree? Who sleeps in? Do you love to entertain? These are details we’ll use to develop plans for your house—so that it works with the way you live.
You talk, we sketch
Designing starts on the spot, with sketches that begin to capture what your home could look like. How does this feel? That? We’ll conceptualize together so that, by the end of our first meeting, we’ll have a plan in place and a vision in mind.
Always in touch
Because our residential studio is part of LaBella’s larger architectural and engineering firm, we have access to the latest communication and design technology to share plans with you at every stage. That means easier decision-making, fewer surprises, and total collaboration.
Imagination is everywhere
Travel, a family homestead, a dream house half a world away—design inspiration can come from anywhere. Share with us what excites you—we’ll share, too—and use that insight to create your home.
Any style of home
We’re not limited by one design style. Our portfolio ranges from Mediterranean-inspired beach houses to New England lodges, spanning architectural regions, eras, and styles.
Dana Mather
Homeowner
"As first-time home builders, we did not know exactly what we wanted when we walked through the doors at LaBella. We simply had a concept and style in mind, but it was a style not commonly found in the Lake Norman area. David listened intently and truly embraced who we were and how we wanted to live life in our home. He was patient with us, made incredible design recommendations, and happily went back to the drawing board as we made revisions. He even connected us with a builder who was perfect for our project. We are now in the home of our dreams!"
