ABOUT US

PASTELLA BURNS is recognized as a leading design build firm specializing in the luxury residential home and hospitality market.  Our focus is on producing unique designs with exceptional details.  We leverage our broad range of capabilities across the entire real estate development process to bring these designs to life.    

Our projects span from new home designs and historic restorations to major renovations and restaurant and hospitality projects. From the initial conceptual renderings to the smallest interior details, our team of designers are elevating the real estate landscape. 

We understand and appreciate real estate development as a primary investment vehicle as well as a way to diversify an investment portfolio.  We develop real estate as a company and with real estate investors in a variety of ways. 

Property comes in many forms and every parcel of land is unique.  Our experience as a full-service design-build firm provides valuable insight in the kinds of property investment a specific market values and how to identify appropriate features to focus on.      

Being a single design-build entity allows us to direct all aspects of the design, planning and development process in house allowing for greater project flexibility and control.  Because our work is exclusively high-end, we are in tune with the needs of the luxury home market.  Our strategic approach has and continues to be advantageous to our firm and investors.  

We perform an array of design capabilities such as conceptual renderings, schematic design, construction documents, interior design, and construction management.  Our work is centered on creativity, material selection, and art of the craft.  Our designs stand out for their ambition and exuberance that extend from conceptual ideas to each detail.  We balance creativity with a healthy amount of discipline to ensure stylistic and aesthetic continuity in each project.  

What sets us apart in residential architecture is that we don’t just design homes, we craft experiences.  We execute designs that elevate lifestyles.  In restaurant and hospitality design, we leverage our expertise in luxury living to find innovative solutions for the hospitality industry.  We strive to create memorable experiences for the end guests and deliver designs that inspire, connect, and perform. 

Every project starts with a poignant dialogue about the desired end use of the structure and overall project intent. Our team diligently researches and assess applicable local building and zoning codes as well as any regulatory requirements or restrictions. This provides a blueprint of opportunities and potential constraints of a subject property. The research process allows our architects and designers to make recommendations such as ideal site selection, site development design, and optimal project sequencing.  

During this land planning and development phase of a project, we regularly work with real estate attorneys, real estate agents, property managers and more. We have a long history of collaboration that ensures all parties are aligned.

We direct all aspects of the design and construction process from inception to completion.  Our construction team includes experienced contractors who create a collaborative environment for the best trade and craftspeople to deliver high-quality workmanship in every custom home.  

Our design build team is meticulous throughout the construction process.  Proactive construction scheduling, permit sequencing, and efficient construction management are essential to a smooth construction process. With decades of experience, our construction team brings the highest level of workmanship in the industry.  We are built to handle complex construction projects and welcome new challenges.  

Interior design is an organic extension of the design-build process. It’s all about creating the full experience of sight, sound, texture, and scent.  We believe that people should be inspired by the spaces around them.     

Our interiors are fluid and dynamic such that there is no separation between where home design ends and interior design begins. We pay close attention to scale, traffic flow, and connectivity to the surroundings.  We work diligently with craftspeople to fabricate original pieces that integrate with the design of the home.  We regularly work with steel, glass, concrete, and specialty products to create unique aesthetics.  The resulting interiors are unified and expressive.
