Silverleaf

Where Silverleaf Homes Meet Award-Winning Design

Living with Lolo serves Silverleaf homeowners with full-service luxury interior design and licensed general contracting under one contract. Silverleaf is the guard-gated, ultra-luxury enclave set highest into the McDowell Mountain foothills, one of the four original villages of DC Ranch alongside Country Club, Desert Camp, and Desert Parks, and it rewards a designer who understands its custom architecture, strict architectural review guidelines, and the scale of estate-level design and construction its homeowners expect.

Living with Lolo is a Scottsdale-based firm named Best Interior Design by Phoenix Magazine three consecutive years (2024, 2025, and 2026), recognized on Houzz's Best of Houzz list every year since 2018, named to Inc. Magazine's 2026 Best Workplaces and Southwest Regionals lists, and included in Modern Luxury Interiors' 2025 Ones to Watch class of rising designers. As a luxury interior designer Scottsdale homeowners already trust, Lauren Lerner and the team hold an active Arizona General Contractor license (ROC #347577), bringing full design-build accountability to every Silverleaf project from concept through final walkthrough.

That combination is rare inside Silverleaf's gates. Most designers hand you off to a separate general contractor and step back once construction starts. Living with Lolo stays through the entire build, protecting the design intent while managing budget, schedule, and the trade coordination a Silverleaf-scale estate requires. Explore our portfolio, our services, and our design and build process to see how we work.

Who We Work With Here

Designed for the Silverleaf Client

Our Silverleaf clients are building or reimagining estate-scale homes behind one of Scottsdale's most exclusive gates, and they expect a design and construction partner who can match that standard. Many are relocating from out of state and want a home that feels rooted in the desert rather than imported from somewhere else. Others are longtime Silverleaf owners finally building the home they pictured when they first moved behind the gates.

In both cases they want a single accountable team, honest numbers, and a process that protects their time. Whether the project is a full estate renovation or a ground-up custom build, that is the Living with Lolo standard.

Silverleaf and the Communities Nearby

Silverleaf

One of the four original villages of DC Ranch, and the most exclusive: a guard-gated enclave of custom estates set into the McDowell Mountain foothills, governed by one of Scottsdale's strictest architectural review boards. We design and build for Silverleaf's scale, from full estate renovations to ground-up custom homes.

DC Ranch

The master-planned community that surrounds Silverleaf, home to its own golf clubhouse, Market Street retail, and three additional villages: Country Club, Desert Camp, and Desert Parks. We serve DC Ranch owners at every price point, not just inside the Silverleaf gates.

Desert Mountain

A separate guard-gated golf community just north of Silverleaf, built around six private golf courses. Desert Mountain clients share Silverleaf's expectation of a single, accountable design and construction team.

Whisper Rock

A private golf enclave adjacent to DC Ranch known for its membership of touring professionals. Whisper Rock brings the same demand for discretion and construction-grade design fluency that defines Silverleaf.

Our Differentiator

Interior Design + Licensed General Contractor, Under One Roof

Most Silverleaf projects involve real construction, not just decorating: primary suite additions, full kitchen and great room reconfigurations, casita builds, and resort-style backyard rebuilds that need a designer who understands construction, not just a vision board.

Lauren Lerner and Living with Lolo are an award-winning interior design firm and a licensed Arizona General Contractor (ROC #347577). On every Silverleaf project we hold both the design and the construction under one contract, one schedule, and one point of accountability, whether the scope is a renovation behind the gates or a ground-up custom build.

Living with Lolo brings this same integrated approach across the Southwest. For clients furnishing a full estate rather than renovating, see our guide to what a luxury interior design project costs in Scottsdale.

Design Only

Separate designer and builder. Multiple contracts. Communication gaps between design and construction. No single point of accountability for timeline or budget.

Living with Lolo

One contract, one team, from concept to move-in. Licensed Arizona General Contractor (ROC #347577), managing your Silverleaf project's design and construction directly, with no handoff to a separate builder.

What We Can Do That Others Cannot

Read construction drawings, catch costly problems early, manage the build schedule, and hold the contractor to the design intent, because we have built homes ourselves as a licensed general contractor in Scottsdale.

The Client Experience

You leave town, we manage the project. You return to a finished, fully furnished Silverleaf home, built and designed by one accountable team the entire time.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Interior Design in Silverleaf

Do you work specifically in Silverleaf?+
Yes. Living with Lolo provides luxury interior design and licensed general contracting inside Silverleaf and across DC Ranch, Desert Mountain, and the rest of north Scottsdale. Founder Lauren Lerner and the team are familiar with Silverleaf's architectural review board, HOA guidelines, and the custom-home standards its guard-gated community expects.
Do I need to hire a separate general contractor if I work with you?+
No. Living with Lolo holds an active Arizona General Contractor license (ROC #347577), so we manage your Silverleaf project's design and construction under one contract and one team. You get a single point of accountability instead of coordinating between a separate designer and builder. Learn more about our general contractor background.
What does a luxury interior design project in Silverleaf typically cost?+
Most full-service Silverleaf projects range from roughly $250,000 to several million dollars, depending on square footage, scope, and whether the project is a renovation or a ground-up build. Furnishing-only projects fall at the lower end, while whole-estate new construction with design and management sits higher. See our luxury interior design services, and we give honest numbers early, before you commit to anything.
How long does a whole-home renovation or redesign take?+
A full renovation or new build in Silverleaf typically runs 12 to 24 months from design through move-in, depending on permitting, architectural review board approval, and construction complexity. We build the schedule up front and manage it throughout, including the extra review steps Silverleaf's HOA requires.
Can you manage my project if I travel frequently or am not in Silverleaf full-time?+
Yes. Many of our Silverleaf clients are part-time residents or travel often. Our project management model is built for exactly this, so you can be anywhere and trust the work is moving correctly. We manage the schedule, the trades, and the details, then hand you a finished home. Start with our design and build process.
How is Living with Lolo different from other interior designers in Scottsdale?+
Living with Lolo pairs award-winning design, named Best Interior Design by Phoenix Magazine in 2024, 2025, and 2026, with real construction fluency as a licensed Arizona General Contractor (ROC #347577). The firm has also been named to Houzz's Best of Houzz list every year since 2018, Inc. Magazine's 2026 Best Workplaces and Southwest Regionals lists, and Modern Luxury Interiors' 2025 Ones to Watch class, recognition few Scottsdale design firms can match. Most Silverleaf designers hand you off to a separate builder during construction. Lauren Lerner and the Living with Lolo team stay involved from concept through move-in, managing the build and protecting the design intent. See our portfolio and contact us to start.
Can you help navigate Silverleaf's architectural review board approval process?+
Yes. Silverleaf's architectural review board holds new construction and major renovations to strict design guidelines, and navigating that process is part of what we do as both the interior designer and the licensed general contractor (ROC #347577) on your project. We prepare submissions, anticipate likely feedback, and keep your timeline realistic instead of guessing at what the board will approve.
