Our Story

Spaces Design Build grew from a shared passion for creating homes that feel as thoughtful as they are beautiful. What began as Michael McCullough’s early fascination with design and construction has evolved into a collaborative practice that now includes the expertise of licensed architect and interior designer Laura Coffman. Together, we unite diverse experiences and a common vision: to design homes that enrich daily living, respect their sites, and reflect the people who inhabit them.

 

 

Michael’s path into design was shaped by his family’s legacy in building and his own career exploring landscape, construction, and sustainable design. Over the years, he developed a reputation for crafting outdoor environments that balance creativity with practicality. His work reflects a deep respect for nature and the belief that architecture and landscape should not be separate, but integrated as one.

 

Laura brings over 15 years of experience as an architect and interior designer, specializing in custom homes and residential design. She has guided countless clients through the complexities of designing their dream homes—from overall architectural planning to the finer details of interiors. Her strength lies in weaving functionality with elegance, ensuring every space feels both personal and timeless. Laura’s expertise gives our clients confidence that their homes will be carefully designed inside and out, with every detail considered.

 

Together, Michael and Laura lead Spaces Design Build with a collaborative approach. Our process emphasizes listening first, then translating ideas into designs that are both inspiring and achievable. We thrive on balancing vision with budget, making sure every project moves forward with clarity and confidence.
