We really, really love what we do. 🤍
The meetings, the site visits, the endless conversations about details—and yes, even the moments when things don’t go exactly as planned.
Because honestly? We love a good puzzle.
Every project comes with its own challenges, unexpected moments, and little details that need to be figured out. And there’s something so rewarding about working through it all, finding the solution, and watching an idea slowly become a space you can actually walk into.
Architecture + interiors is part creativity, part problem-solving, and a whole lot of getting excited about the details.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Where ideas begin to take shape. ✨

Every beautiful home starts with conversations, inspiration, and a table full of samples. We love sitting down with our clients to curate every finish, texture, and detail until their vision comes to life.

As a small, hands-on design team, you’ll always know who’s guiding your project from the first meeting to the final reveal—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

There’s something special about working with a small, boutique design studio.

When you work with us, you’re not passed from person to person or wondering who’s handling your project. From the first meeting to selection days and every decision in between, it’s us—walking alongside you every step of the way.

Today’s selection appointments are one of our favorite parts of the process because this is where your vision really starts to come to life. From tile and cabinetry to lighting and finishes, every choice is made with intention, and we’re there to guide you through it all.

We’re so grateful for the trust our clients place in us and for the opportunity to create homes that feel uniquely theirs. 🤍

The conversation around open-concept living versus closed floor plans has definitely come full circle.
Alexander and I laugh about it often because, before becoming parents, we would have sworn by open-concept living. After having a family, though, we understand the growing appeal of bringing some of those walls back.
It's a bit of a paradox.
One of the greatest advantages of an open floor plan is visibility. As a parent, you can make dinner, answer emails, fold laundry, or clean up while still keeping an eye on your adventurous toddler across the room. That sense of connection—and supervision—is hard to beat.
But the other side of the coin becomes just as apparent. Closed floor plans offer something many families eventually crave: separation. They create quieter spaces to work from home, take a phone call, or simply enjoy a few moments of focus without little feet following your every move. Sometimes, a closed door isn't about shutting people out—it's about creating a space where everyone can function a little better.
Beyond functionality, there's also the design conversation. One of the things I appreciate about a more traditional floor plan is that each room has the opportunity to develop its own personality. A dining room can feel intimate and dramatic, a library can be rich and moody, and a living room can have an entirely different character. Every space gets permission to tell its own story.
With an open-concept home, however, the design language often has to remain consistent throughout. Since so many spaces are visible from one another, every finish, color palette, and furnishing needs to work together cohesively. The result can be beautiful, but it can also limit opportunities to experiment with different styles and create distinct experiences from room to room.
Maybe the real answer isn't choosing one over the other. It's designing homes that balance openness with flexibility—spaces that can adapt as our lives, families, and routines evolve while still allowing for individuality and character.
I'm curious: Are we seeing a true shift back toward closed floor plans, or are homeowners simply looking for more intentional ways to create privacy within open-concept homes?
Where do you stand—Team Open Concept or Team Closed Floor Plan? Has becoming a parent, working from home, or simply living in your space changed your perspective?

Home buyer preferences are shifting, and it’s influencing home layouts. Will closed floor plans replace open concepts?

Alexander shared this thread with me this morning, and I thought it was such an interesting perspective. It’s something we find ourselves constantly discussing.
We’ve noticed an interesting pattern: during times of uncertainty, people often seem to look for ways to make their homes feel more comforting, expressive, and optimistic.
Throughout history, we’ve seen examples of this—from the colorful Depression glass of the 1930s to today’s renewed appreciation for bold colors, layered textures, and interiors filled with personality.
Whether it’s a direct response to the world around us or simply a desire to create spaces that feel joyful, it’s fascinating to see how design continues to reflect the moment we’re living in.

A little peek at what we’ve been up to lately 🤍

One of our favorite parts of what we do is getting to see our ideas move from drawings on a screen to something you can actually walk through and experience.

As a husband-and-wife team, we get to work side by side throughout the entire process—from the big picture down to the smallest details. Every project is different, and that’s what keeps us excited about what we do.

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at some of the projects we’ve been working on. More to come soon!

Every great project starts with an idea.
Welcome to AG Design—an architecture and interiors studio led by Alexander and Genesis Bruno.
We’re passionate about creating homes, churches, and commercial spaces that are thoughtful, timeless, and deeply personal. While many of the projects you’ll see here are currently under construction, we’ll be sharing the journey from the first sketch and rendering to the finished space.
This rendering is a glimpse into one of our current projects and the vision we’re bringing to life.
We’re excited to take you behind the scenes and share the process, the details, and the craftsmanship that transform ideas into places people love.
Thanks for being here—we’re just getting started.
