HELPING YOU SEE THE POTENTIAL OF THE HOME BEFORE YOU INVEST
WE'LL DESIGN AND HELP YOU VISUALIZE THE FUTURE HOME
from the street to the spaces within
from the street to the spaces within
Some homes don’t need to be reinvented. They need to be understood.
This 1920s house had charm, scale and unusual details, but its potential was hidden beneath dated finishes and unclear spatial choices. Our study explores how colour, light, furniture, landscape and proportion can bring an older home back into focus without erasing its character. READ THE STUDY
WHY
ROUTE 66 DESIGN?
After years designing broadcast studios, brands and experiences viewed by millions, we found ourselves looking at something much closer to home.
The neighborhoods of New Mexico are filled with honest, well-built houses. Yet many have never been given the chance to show their full potential. A different colour palette, better lighting, thoughtful landscaping or a reimagined entrance can completely change the way a home feels—often without changing its structure.
Route 66 Design was created from a simple belief:
Thoughtful design can make the everyday feel remarkable.
Thoughtful design can make the everyday feel remarkable.
We help homeowners, buyers, realtors and contractors see the potential already present in a property before money is spent. Through thoughtful design and clear visualization, we make decisions easier, reduce costly mistakes and help everyday homes become places people remember.
