Process
WE LISTEN.
We have a reputation for refining exquisite homes, but yours—yours is the exquisite home that frames your life. So, we listen to you. At the right moments, we reflect your vision, offer insight, and illuminate unseen options. Our designers have proven their mettle in their elegant answers to complex challenges, responding with solutions that are graceful, enduring, and true.
We can take the lead or skillfully adapt to collaborate with your project team. We orchestrate each room’s proportion, light, and textures into a flow that is free from tension. Our designers carry this through to each piece—envisioning both the room and the clients who inhabit the space. Then, our artisans nurture your vibrant vision until it appears in the final creation. They are masters of their craft who have trained, honed, and refined their skills over the course of meticulous years and even generations.
WE NURTURE YOUR VISION–FROM TRACING PAPER THROUGH THE WORKING DRAWINGS, CUTTING TIMBER, BUILDING, SANDING, AND FINISHING.
O’Brien Harris is uniquely fortunate to span the full lifecycle of design, manufacturing, and detail, and we are intensely proud of the talent that our specialists bring to each phase. Your cherished concepts never leave our skilled hands, from the first conversation to the final installation, and we ensure that every detail is in place.
TIMELESS STYLE
Our style is founded on an understanding of unfitted British kitchens, and the way they flowed through three spaces for storage, preparation, and hearth. Therein derived the Welsh dresser, the timber refectory table, and the masonry stove surrounds of centuries past. While our modern designs celebrate the beauty of today’s finest kitchens along with our Midwest heritage, they remain true to the essential elements of classic flow and timeless style.
