The Studio

Every project begins with the home and the people who will live there.

From ground-up collaboration and major renovations to the last piece of furniture, Devall considers the whole house—and how it will be lived in.

Adobe Canyon

A family home reconsidered from the inside out. Devall joined the project during framing and spent the next two years resolving the interiors, architectural details, exterior and outbuildings. The structural plan stayed largely intact. Every room had to work.

Devall Is in the Details

A room should reveal a life, not a shopping list.

Natural materials, vintage pieces and art allow a room to feel acquired over time, never assembled all at once.

About Devall

“The homes people remember are deeply personal, as though they could belong to no one else.”

For more than 35 years, Devall has designed and built residential interiors from the architecture outward. She works across space, proportion, custom millwork, furniture, materials and art, with a clear understanding of how people actually live. The result is a home with its own identity, shaped by the people who live there.

Her practice spans ground-up collaboration, major remodels, interiors and exteriors, custom millwork, procurement and construction coordination.
