Combining my passion for horses with my expertise in design, I'm now consulting Equine Residences on their European projects. This role allows me to seamlessly integrate my love for equestrian life into my design work, ensuring that each project meets and exceeds our European clients' needs and tastes. It's gratifying to create spaces reflecting the unique bond between horses and their owners, while embracing the elegance and functionality that define European design.


Equine Residences’ priority is to bring mindfulness, health, joy, quality, and value to your project. We stand by our designs to create a space that is functional, comfortable, and worth the effort it took to get it done. We love to find creative ways to bring secondary uses to the space and make every project a financial benefit, rather than an economic drain. Equine Residences cares as much about creating value for our customers as we do in creating great spaces.


Equine Residences is a full-service equine facilities design firm. We partner with clients early on to assist in finding the perfect property, conduct a thorough site layout, and design the entire stable from the ground up. We have relationships with many vendors in the field and keep our fingers on the pulse of new trends in the equine world. Our services are structured to provide you with the highest quality in the industry while focusing on saving you time, money, and frustration. We oversee the project and work closely with the builder to bring our clients and our shared vision to life.


Equine Residences will collaborate with our team and you to develop site and master plans, along with landscaping and plant plans, to determine the optimal location for your barn and facilities on the property. This is to ensure proper airflow, water efficiency, and the well-being of the horses. Our goal is to maximize the land's potential while being mindful of costs.


Our renderings are detailed to the last beam, door handle and tile. We utilize our renders to give you the ability to "see" what your project will LOOK like upon completion, but also aid the procurement process and quicken the deliverables and scope work for all involved. From us the designers, to the builders and subs, and finally the vendors contracted, our photo-real renderings keep everything on track visually and financially.


New Construction / Renovation / Remodel

From the initial search for or purchase of property to installation and moving-in, Equine Residences makes the process smooth-sailing. We help with the selection of contractors, as well as working through the bidding process. By creating and reviewing plans, coordinating the team, project management, and interior decoration and design, we keep our client's needs at the forefront. We are your representative and will be responsible for specifying fixtures, finishes, hardware, flooring, and palette, as well as designing the stable from top to bottom.


We take pleasure in giving new life to your existing facilities with our expertise and resources. Be it a new tack room or stall fronts/doors/windows, to updated arenas, landscapes, and hardscapes, Equine Residences with our vendor partners will create value and refinement for your barn.


AI Imagery

We utilize AI to inspire our clients quickly and easily. This also eliminates the need to search for random images that may not exist for an equestrian project.

For our Hotel Bar Project, we were asked to renovate an existing Bar/Restaurant space in Stuttgart, Germany. Before, it had a mixture of colors and textures that did not come to a conclusive design aesthetic. However, we wanted to keep some of the color scheme, as it had to compliment the neighboring room, which was to remain the same. The Hotel Bar is located near the airport, so we took that into consideration when planning the space for the customers needs. We wanted it to be a place where people can enjoy a drink at the bar as well as some food, either alone or in a small group. For this, we planned banquet seating along two of the walls as well as two larger tables in the center for a maximum of 4 people, and a Bar height table for 5 guests. As far as lighting, we chose two main lighting features in the center of the room in an oval shape, mirroring the shape of the tables below and pendants for the surrounding smaller tables. For a feature piece, we used a great material which is an intricate chain-link hanging curtain at the entrance to the bar. On the remaining walls, we applied light wooden slats, as well as a greenery feature wall and a tall chalkboard by the bar. The bar itself also has wooden slats. The ceiling was dropped down along the edges of the walls, and above the bar. See the dotted line below on the Floor Plan. We had fun planning this project and implementing interesting wall features and lighting to make this airport bar inviting and interesting!
