MEET MADELINE
Founder & Principal Designer, M.Arch
Madeline Schleppenbach's approach to design is deeply personal, rooted in the belief that homes should be experienced, not just admired. With a foundation in both architecture and interior design, her passion lies in shaping spaces that connect on a human scale, blending the luxury of livable design with the warmth of personal moments. Every project she undertakes is a thoughtful journey where functionality meets beauty, and where rooms evolve to tell the unique stories of the people who live in them.
Having honed her expertise from the Midwest to the West Coast, Madeline brings a holistic perspective to every project, crafting spaces that respect the architectural language of the home while enhancing the lives within. Her journey from architecture to residential interiors was fueled by a desire to create environments that touch lives in deeply meaningful ways. For her, the essence of design is not only in the aesthetic details but also in the rhythm and authenticity it brings to daily life.
Her natural curiosity extends beyond beautiful spaces into the worlds of fashion, art, travel, and landscape architecture, all of which inspire her ability to create a sense of place through function, experience, color, and texture—creating spaces that are effortlessly livable.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
My approach to design is rooted in a belief I coined early in my architecture career and has grown with me ever since — what I like to call, 'empathetic design,'
To me, this means truly immersing myself in the lives of the people who inhabit the spaces I create. I have found that setting the foundation of truly understanding my clients' lives, preferences, and the emotions they want to feel within their home helps drive intentional design decisions. I believe design goes beyond aesthetic and is about placemaking and storytelling, crafting spaces that are deeply personal, ever-timeless, and effortlessly livable.
