Collaborations Joining Forces

Designs By Georgia + Capital Guardian Builders

Tim Poole and Kristen Parker - Capital Guardian Builders

Designs by Georgia collaborated with Capital Guardian Builders on an overhaul that transformed a dated, run-of-the-mill kitchen (above and top) in Severna Park, Maryland, into a light-filled, open space centered on an island with room for casual dining. The owners specified a transitional sensibility, so the design team selected white, Shaker-style Fabuwood cabinetry; peripheral countertops are white Cambria quartz, while the island is topped with dark-stained, reclaimed walnut. The backsplash is glazed tile in a chevron pattern and the stainless-steel appliances are from GE. Pink walls add a pop of color.

“I recently established a partnership with Tim and Kristen after collaborating on several projects. They strive for perfection, and their innovation and attention to detail enhances my work. Our approaches to design and construction align, and those are essential elements for a successful project and happy clients.”

“Georgia’s experience shows through at every stage, from preparation and design to project management. We’ve established a connection that combines the design and build elements seamlessly, and we problem-solve together so that each design exceeds client expectations.”
