Welcome to Marre Design

You have many choices when it comes to selecting a home designer. It's a big decision, and commitment. We get it! For a new home or major remodel, from starting design to move-in day, a typical project can take well over a year. We're right with you at every stage. You need a partner you can trust to help you navigate the complexity so that you can focus on the fun.
At Marre Design, we have crafted our unique design process to be as smooth, comfortable, efficient, and accurate as possible. We go all-in on your project, essentially building it completely on paper, before starting construction, so that no detail is overlooked.
A key advantage with our process is speed. Most of our projects start construction in about half the time as our competitors. And because every detail is resolved upfront, building goes smoother with fewer change orders, delays, or unexpected budget overruns.

What our clients are saying about Marre Design
“Tom Chute is an excellent designer. We built an 8,000+ sq.ft. luxury home in Hillsborough, CA. I interviewed him and immediately recognized why is superior to all others I have met and worked with. I had worked with other architects before but never have had this level of service!”
C Zanello | Hillsborough, CA
“I loved that we met and discussed how we lived, so that he could design a home around our lives. Our home feels like us. People often tell me they've never been in a home that is so personalised - it’s like our home was designed as an expression of precisely who we are.”
R Steed | Raymond, AB
“We had never built or designed a home before – and were a little intimidated. Tom put us at ease from the first design through the final result. Seeing Tom turn our conversations into his initial design was amazing! His experience and expertise were invaluable.”
A Collins | Tampa, FL
The Full Picture Process
1
Discover
During the discovery phase, we uncover every piece of the jigsaw puzzle, not only of your needs, but of how this home fits your life. Explorative, curious, and expansive, this insightful first phase leaves no piece unturned in the quest to develop your perfect home design. And, when you see how we’ve formed a masterpiece by bringing the picture together, you’ll be blown away by just how intently we listened.
2
Decide
At this point—unlike many home designers who present small sections of your home design puzzle leaving you to fill in the gaps—we are ready to show you The Full Picture with as much detail as possible. You won’t have hours of countless meetings to see a final design. You will know exactly how you feel about your new home and what you want to adjust, which we’ll work on in this decision phase.
3
Detail
Now is the time when we bring together every micro element to form your completed home design; perfectly tuned to your desires the plan is ready to submit for planning permits. Because every detail has been considered and crafted to be truly “you”, your masterpiece is good to go with no further changes needed. It’s construction time. The home you’ve been dreaming of is ready to be brought to life.
