JIA Communities Design Studio

The journey to your JIA home begins with your first step into our Design Studio.

Here you will meet with our Interior Designer to start the process of bringing your dream home to life. This is the fun part! Starting with the exterior and moving to the interior- our Designer will guide you through each step and selection. Pulling from our expertly curated design options- our goal is to make this process as seamless and efficient as possible. Congrats! You’re one step closer to your dream home!

Space Planning

1st Session (2 hours)

Hi, it’s nice to meet you! During this appointment you will spend the bulk of your time talking about yourself and your family! No detail is too trivial - design is an intimate process and to curate a design that will meet your needs we will have to get up close and personal. After a thorough chit chat, we will pull out the floor plans to start space planning and reviewing design options. After this we will do a quick tour of the design studio and then begin selections for your exterior. Bring any and all inspiration pictures to this meeting!  

Exterior Finishing

2nd Session (2-3 hours)

Here is where we will begin selections for the interior of your home. I always encourage clients to mentally prepare themselves for this meeting - we will be covering quite a bit of ground, and this meeting can be lengthy. Try to eat before and bring snacks! I love to start this process around 1-2 selections or features that you love and want to incorporate into your home. Some typical places of starting would be flooring, countertop material, a fun bold tile, or a specific lighting fixture.  If you can’t think of anything don’t worry- we’ll start from the bottom and work our way up! 

Interior Finishing

3rd Session (2-4 hours)

Depending on how far we get during our second meeting we’ll pick up where we left off. During this meeting our goal is to completely finish up with all of the selections for your home. Following this meeting we will create a curated binder (and pdf for all you tech savvy folk) that will have cut sheets of all the selections we picked during your time in the design studio. You will sign off on this final document, put a deposit down on any upgrades- and off we go!
