How do you create magic? First you listen. To your client’s stories, their favorite things, their most memorable spaces, the stuff that stops them in their tracks. Then you lose yourself in their space – the architecture, the details, and what your client wants out of it. And then you plan. And you never stop looking for the perfect something – on a sketchpad, in a boutique or a favorite store, in the corner of a flea market that everyone else overlooks.

Terrat Elms was founded on the principal that successful design is not about just making something beautiful – it’s about helping clients build an experience they love, and never want to leave. It’s about mixing new and old, expensive and everyday, the crazy fun and seriously sentimental. It’s about opposing the typical and falling for the unconventional.

We know first hand that it’s not always easy. But it can always be fun. It’s the hard work we love, orchestrated by the people we love to work with – architects, engineers, mill workers, furniture makers, upholsterers, collectors, store owners and managers. The kind of people that welcome the day with the thought of something extraordinary. And the kind of people that understand that a budget can be inspiration’s best friend.

In our six years together we have approached clients and projects without preconception. Corporate, residential, urban, vacation, young, established, modern, classical. To us, it’s all about helping people to find their style and expressing it to the fullest. And we hope that this is just the beginning.
