Good news: If you’re here, you already know you’re looking for a change for the better. We can help you pin down any vague ideas of what you want and refine it down to basic DIY palettes, furniture selections, or full-blown construction drawings for larger projects.
We’re offering free video consultations (with a real-life architect) for a limited time, so schedule yours here soon!
-
Put simply, we compile instruction manuals for your environment.
From Pre-Design - for those who don’t know what to start or what they need - to the hands-on Construction Administration phase - where we work alongside the builder or contractor to ensure your designs are perfectly executed - we offer our professional guidance, backed by our decades of industry experience, formal education, and national and state licenses, every step of the way.

Unfortunately, any Joe Schmo can call themselves a “designer” in the US. This is why we maintain fully-licensed Architects on our team in addition to our apprentices.
Each licensed Architect of ours has successfully completed: 6 years of collegiate schooling for both Bachelor and Master degrees, and more than 3700 recorded and approved hours in the field. All of this is only the bare minimum to acquire the title of “Architect.” Each Carbon project has an assigned Project Architect to handle your project from start to finish.
Unlike most design firms, 100% of our team must complete Site Hours each month to ensure the design skills they learned in school or from other projects are applicable to their most recent projects.
