The Restrepo Group
Every company in the Restrepo Group has been personally vetted by Michael Restrepo and his team over years of collaboration on real projects. We don't maintain a referral list. we maintain a standard. These are firms we've worked alongside on dozens of builds, renovations, and installations, and whose work we stake our reputation on.
When you hire through the Restrepo Group, you're not getting a name off a list. You're getting a company that has already proven. on our most demanding projects. that they deliver the same caliber of work our clients expect from us. We coordinate directly with every partner to ensure timelines align, communication flows, and the outcome meets the standard we've set across every discipline.
Julie Schuster Design Studio
Why Julie Schuster Is in the Restrepo Group
The best smart home technology disappears into the design. Speakers become architectural. Control interfaces blend into the aesthetic. Motorized shading integrates with window treatments. Achieving this requires a designer who understands technology. and a technology integrator who respects the design. We've found that combination is rare.
Julie Schuster Design Studio is in the Restrepo Group because Julie gets it. Her credentials. NKBA National Leadership Council member, KBDN Top 50 Design Innovator, Certified Living In Place Professional. reflect both design excellence and a deep understanding of how homes actually function. Her wellness-focused philosophy aligns naturally with our work in circadian lighting, automated shading, and comfort automation.
On projects together, the technology has never been at odds with the design. because Julie sees them as one thing. That's the mindset we require from every designer in our group.
