Practicing architecture and interior design for the past 30 years has been an exciting journey. The rare opportunity to have completed the education and training in both professions has allowed An Intimate Approach to give our clients the creative design and service that is unique to the industry.
We design from the inside out, which starts with intimate interior space planning for a family that evolves into a dwelling that has the aesthetic character that tells our client’s story. This is why an intimate approach to design and construction is a process that has been successful for many clients.
Rochelle began her career in the industry, working as an interior designer at a studio in a small town in Southern Arizona. Selling carpet, upholstery, and draperies sparked her passion for interior design. Seeing the need for cleaning and maintaining the carpet, upholstery, and draperies, she had an idea of a new business. With much to learn, her business idea evolved with time. Luckily, she saw an opportunity to move to Los Angeles and work with a large insurance restoration contractor, which provided her with priceless education in the construction industry. She returned to Arizona in 1996 and became a general contractor in her own right. With her new contract, she focused mainly on the remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms. After gaining valuable experience and reputation, she became a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) in 2003, winning numerous awards for her work.
She was the winner of the National Association of Remodelling Industry (NARI) and CoTY (Contractor of the Year) for a kitchen remodel over $60,000 in the years 2003, 2008 & 2009. Her other achievements include.
- In 2002 her project was published in Arizona Food & Lifestyle Magazine.
- In 2008 she acclaimed special recognition for her project, which was selected as the “Best in Show” and graced the cover of the NARI directory.
- In 2005 she was the Western Region Winner for the “Design with Decora” contest.
She has proved to be a very active personality in the Nation Kitchen and Bath Association and has held multiple board positions over the years. In 2019 she became a Certified Living in Place Professional (CLIPP). In hopes of adding value to her clients when it comes to safety, beauty, and function for all ages, she is amongst the best.
Laura Hyland has over 20 years of experience in hard lines, which enabled her to hone her skills in color, style, symmetry, and rhythm, as well as lighting and spatial relationships. She spent six months in 2016, traveling in Europe and the United States, exploring and studying international architecture and lifestyles.
In addition, she brings her organizational and purchasing skills to ensure projects are completed within timelines and budgets.
