DESIGN-BUILD ARIZONA | LIVING WITH LOLO
At Living With Lolo, we bring interior design and construction together under one roof. We’re not just your luxury interior designer or your general contractor, we’re both. This integrated, design-build approach means you get a beautiful space and a seamless process without juggling multiple firms.

One Team. One Vision. One Point of Contact.
For homeowners in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and greater Arizona, the traditional design-bid-build model is full of headaches: scope gaps, miscommunications, delayed timelines, and cost overruns.
We eliminate that friction. As a licensed general contractor and award-winning interior designer, our team handles everything from layout planning to finish selections to final install, all managed under a single, streamlined process.
What We Handle In-House
- Interior Architecture + Floor Plans
- Construction Drawings + Permits
- Finish + Fixture Selection
- Trade Management + Scheduling
- Procurement + Receiving
- Furniture Installation + Styling
No more handoffs. No more finger-pointing. Just one accountable team, aligned from day one.
How Our Design-Build Process Works
We handle everything from concept to completion:
- Strategy + Scope Definition
We align on project goals, investment level, and timeline – with full transparency from the start. - Design Development
We create layouts, select materials, and design every element with intention and artistry. - Build Management
We oversee all construction activities, coordinate trades, and ensure every detail aligns with your design vision. - Final Install + Handoff
We install furnishings, complete styling, and deliver a fully transformed home.
Who We Serve
- Homeowners doing whole-home renovations or major remodels
- Busy professionals who want one expert team, not five vendors
- High-end clients seeking a white-glove, start-to-finish experience
Why It Works for High-Value Projects
Design-build isn’t just more efficient – it protects your investment. When design and construction work together, you get:
- Fewer change orders
- Tighter timelines
- Accurate, aligned budgets
- A cohesive vision executed flawlessly

Recent Project: Desert Oasis, Scottsdale
Desert Oasis is a whole-home Scottsdale renovation that represents the design-build model at its most complete. Living with Lolo managed the interior design and the licensed general contracting from the first concept meeting through the final walkthrough, with no handoff between a designer and a separate contractor. Every material selection was made with the build sequence in mind, and every construction decision was made with the design intent protected. For Arizona homeowners who have watched renovations lose their vision somewhere between the design phase and the job site, this project is a clear example of what it looks like when that gap does not exist.
Recent Project:
The Gathering House, Scottsdale
The Gathering House is a 2,468 square foot Scottsdale renovation centered on a reimagined kitchen designed for the way the clients actually live. The scope covered the kitchen, entry, family room, lounge, dining room, primary bedroom, primary bath, and powder bath, with Living with Lolo serving as both lead designer and general contractor throughout. The project ran a six week design process followed by a sixteen week installation, managed entirely in-house. The result is a home layered with deep blues, soft neutrals, and rich textures that balances a modern aesthetic with genuine livability. It is one of the clearest examples in the portfolio of what full design-build accountability produces.
Recent Project:
Desert Escape, Paradise Valley
Desert Escape is a remodel and furnishings project in Paradise Valley that embraces minimalist luxury with a strong connection to the natural landscape. Textural fabrics, warm stone elements, and clean-lined furnishings come together across the living room, kitchen, dining room, primary bedroom, fireplace, powder bath, and office. Paradise Valley projects demand a level of design intention and finish quality that reflects the standard of the neighborhood, and this project delivers that across every space. The combination of remodel scope and full furnishings installation under one firm kept the aesthetic cohesive from the structural decisions through the final accessory placement.
