SBW Design Studio is a residential design practice focused on renovations, additions, and new construction in greater Boston and the Cape and Islands.

Founded by Sarah Birmingham White — an architectural designer with thirty years of experience and a specialty in historic modernization, kitchens, and millwork — the studio works with homeowners who want more than a cosmetic refresh. The work begins with listening: to how the house is used, where it resists, and what it could become.

Every project is shaped by three commitments: design that solves a real spatial problem, beauty that respects the character of the house and its neighborhood, and details that hold up over time.

If your home isn't quite working the way your life needs it to — that's the right starting point.
