Let’s Create a
Space That Feels
Aligned With How
You Want to Live
Soma Atelier designs residential, hospitality, vacation rental, and commercial environments centered around atmosphere, thoughtful functionality, and human experience.
Before Design Begins, We Listen
The first step is understanding what you want your space to become — not just how it looks, but how it feels and functions in your daily life. Our process is collaborative by design, built to make even complex projects feel organized and manageable from day one.
Tell Us About Your Project
This takes about two minutes — and it means your first conversation starts with real context, not small talk. We'll reach out within one business day to schedule your Design Conversation.
What Happens Next
Our team reviews your inquiry, goals, and project details so we can arrive at your first conversation prepared, thoughtful, and focused.
We schedule a consultation to better understand the vision, functionality, and experience you want the space to support.
Together, we define scope, collaboration needs, priorities, and clear next steps for moving the project forward.
If aligned, we begin the integrated design and planning process — providing thoughtful structure, communication, and support throughout every phase.
A Collaborative Process Designed to Reduce Stress
Soma Atelier uses a roundtable-style collaboration process that brings architects, designers, builders, and trade partners together throughout the project — not simply during isolated phases.
Danette & Scott lead the architectural design team while facilitating collaboration between build and remodel partners, helping projects move forward with greater clarity, alignment, and fewer unnecessary complications.
With decades of experience, they bridge creative vision with practical implementation while creating a client experience that feels supported, organized, and professionally guided from beginning to end.
Clear communication across all project partners
Smoother coordination between design and construction
Stronger alignment throughout the project lifecycle
Fewer surprises during execution
Guided by Science. Grounded in Human Experience.
Danette & Scott are certified through the Science in Design Institute and apply research-informed environmental design principles that support both emotional well-being and practical functionality.
Soma Atelier combines thoughtful design strategy with integrated project collaboration to create environments that feel emotionally aligned, operationally functional, and deeply supportive of human experience across residential, hospitality, vacation rental, and commercial spaces.

Yes. Soma Atelier works through an integrated roundtable approach, bringing architects, builders, designers, and trade partners into alignment from the earliest stages of a project. If you already have a builder, we're glad to work alongside them. If you don't, we can connect you with trusted builders we know well; or handle the project entirely in-house, from foundations to furnishings. As licensed General Contractors and Certified Remodelers, we keep design intent and construction execution connected from concept through completion.
