A Contemporary Design Approach at
1111 Elmwood
At 1111 Elmwood, we believe a home should reflect the people who live in it. Our design approach is built around collaboration, clarity, and personalization - ensuring every residence feels as unique as its owner.
With Materio, our intuitive design platform, you’ll have a clear view of your selections, budget, and timeline in one place. It’s a simple, transparent way to stay connected as your vision comes to life.

Our Two-Phase Design Approach
To keep your build efficient and tailored to you, we guide selections in two distinct phases. This structure balances lead-time awareness with design freedom, helping you move forward with confidence

Phase One: Setting the Foundation
This stage covers the key structural and long-lead decisions that shape your home and establish the build schedule.
- Wall layout & framing adjustments
- Cabinetry: Choose from the Fabuwood Nexus and Fusion collections, or design fully bespoke cabinetry with our master craftsmen.
- Premium appliances from luxury brands such as Bertazzoni, Bosch, and Sharp
- High-end plumbing fixtures from Buffalo Plumbing Showroom, including but not limited to, Kohler, Kallista, and Elkay
- Sophisticated lighting options from vendors such as Rejuvenation, including sconces, pendants, and chandeliers.
- Curated mirror options from Rejuvenation, RH, and Kohler, along with locally customized mirrors
- Flooring, tile, doors, trim, and hardware

Phase Two: Refining the Details
Once construction is underway, Phase Two focuses on the finishes that define your style and make your home unmistakably yours.
- Paint & stain palettes from Sherwin-Williams
- Frameless shower glass by local suppliers such as Amthor Glass
- Bathroom accessories from Buffalo Plumbing Showroom and National retailers like RH and Rejuvenation
- Cabinet hardware from Emtek
- Custom closet systems by Creative Storage
- Custom Fireplace finishes in stone by Empire Marble & Granite
Designed With You, For You.
Our design approach is as much about connection as it is about craft. We recommend regular design meetings, weekly or biweekly, to keep the process flowing smoothly and ensure your selections are thoughtful, coordinated, and entirely your own.
At 1111 Elmwood, your home is more than a residence - it’s a reflection of your vision, built with care and intention.
