Method

In order to create meaningful residential environments, we purchased, designed, permitted and built modern residences.

In a city with limited modern residential development, STITCH Design Shop was founded on the principle of fearlessly pursuing creative solutions. These residences are affordable, sustainable and appointed with great care while displaying thoughtful details. For this project, we invested our finances and ourselves to develop, design and build toward the realization of this urban community.
