Big things have been happening behind the scenes at House of Savoy, and I’m excited to finally share one of them.
House of Savoy has officially expanded to Florida!
After more than a decade of designing homes throughout Connecticut, my family and I made the decision to relocate to Central Florida. While the move was personal, it also presented an opportunity to expand the studio into a market I’ve been excited to explore.
But here’s the important part: We’re not leaving Connecticut.
House of Savoy now has two home bases, one in Connecticut and one in Central Florida, and we’re actively accepting projects in both locations.
Same studio. Same thoughtful approach to design. Just two places to call home.
Why Florida?
The decision to move to Florida started as a personal one, long before it became a business opportunity.
If I’m being completely transparent, Florida wasn’t necessarily where we imagined putting down roots forever. And who knows if it will be? But we have family here that we wanted to be closer to, and as we started thinking about the next chapter of our lives, the opportunity for a slower pace felt increasingly aligned with what we wanted for our future.
After years of building a business, raising a family, and navigating the constant demands of both, I was ready for a little more breathing room. A life that allowed for more time with the people we love, a different rhythm, and the freedom to be more intentional about how we spend our days.
From a business perspective, the move made sense in ways I hadn’t initially anticipated. Many of our Connecticut clients have second homes, family, or connections in Florida, creating a natural bridge between the two markets. Rather than entering an entirely unfamiliar market, we were expanding into a place that already had ties to the relationships we’d spent years building.
And then there’s the design opportunity.
Throughout Central Florida, new construction is booming, established neighborhoods are evolving, and homeowners are looking for ways to make their spaces feel more personal. With so many newly built homes, there’s an incredible opportunity to bring warmth, character, and individuality to spaces that might otherwise feel a little too similar.
Bringing the House of Savoy Aesthetic to Central Florida
One of the things I’m most looking forward to is exploring how our design perspective translates to Florida homes.
House of Savoy has never been about creating the same look over and over again. Our work is rooted in understanding the architecture, the people who live there, and the feeling we want a home to evoke.
I love European influences, timeless materials, interesting architectural details, and interiors that feel as though they’ve evolved over time. But I also believe good design should respond to its surroundings.
A home in Connecticut and a home in Central Florida may have very different needs, from the way natural light moves through the rooms to how indoor and outdoor living spaces connect.
That doesn’t mean abandoning our aesthetic. It means interpreting it in a way that makes sense for each home.
And that’s the part I find most exciting.
Whether we’re renovating a historic Connecticut property, furnishing a new construction home in Winter Garden, or reimagining a home in Windermere, our goal is always the same: to create spaces that feel intentional, layered, and distinctly personal.
What's Next for House of Savoy?
If you’ve followed our journey over the past few years, you know that House of Savoy has experienced quite a bit of change.
From our rebrand to the evolution of our services, each decision has been about creating a more intentional studio, one that reflects the work we love doing and the clients we’re best suited to serve.
This expansion feels like a natural continuation of that journey.
I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built in Connecticut, and I’m looking forward to the relationships, collaborations, and projects that await us in Florida.
To our Connecticut clients, builders, architects, and industry partners: we’re still here, and we look forward to continuing the work we’ve built together.
And to our new Florida community: hello! I’m excited to get to know you, explore this beautiful part of the country, and create some pretty incredible homes along the way.
Two home bases. One vision. And a whole new chapter ahead.
