Let this be your reminder to embrace the laughter, the shared meals, and the adventures that make each day memorable with our loved ones. Let’s celebrate the joy that fills our spaces and the special moments we cherish!

We invite you to explore how our expertise can transform your unique ideas into spaces that truly reflect your vision! As a female-owned design + build, architectural & interior design firm, consider this your official invitation: come in and take rest under our wings, join us, and become part of our HIL family. Our mission, oh, that's simple: we want to become your guide, a trusted resource meant to be your guide, providing that safety net through every step of the design process by committing to being fully present, transparent in our business practices, educating our clients, pulling advice and wisdom from over the 20 years of professional practice acquired, and engaging in genuine collective equal partnership with fellow practitioners, vendors, and skilled contractors coming together working towards bringing a set of architectural plans and drawings to life.
We are passionate listeners, eager to understand your vision and needs.

Whether we’re working on your kitchen, bathroom, or that intimate nook, our focus is on harmonizing beauty and functionality, creating an environment that inspires joy and comfort.
Every home has a character of its own, and we delight in uncovering the magic within those unexpected details. Our design philosophy is rooted in intention, ensuring that your personality shines through in every corner of your home. We strive to create moments that spark joy and warmth, making your space a true reflection of who you are.
Our team is made up of a carefully selected group of licensed, insured, and bonded contractors, all of whom share our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship at accessible prices. We operate on three core principles: transparency, ethics, and value. These principles guide us in building not only remarkable structures but also enduring relationships with our clients.
We are particularly passionate about creating interiors that are not just beautiful but also accessible and inclusive. Our commitment to integrating ADA design into every project ensures that your home welcomes everyone, regardless of their abilities. Our mission is to empower you, leaving you feeling educated and excited about your space, because a home should be a source of inspiration and comfort for all.

Welcome
Hentz Inspired Living
At Our Core..
1. Be a team player, leaving egos at the door; that is not helpful, nor is it necessary.
2. Develop creative problem-solving skills. When you feel stuck, try seeing it from a different view or perspective.
3. It's important to be responsive to our Clients & trade partners, even if you do not have an answer when asked. Communication is everything, even when it's tough.
4. Do the right thing even when no one is looking! That mirror sees you every day.
5. Effective communication is important, but not always easy; be kind.
6. Try to act in the best interest of our client; when protecting them, it's also just as important to educate them so that when HIL's time has concluded, they may continue to advocate for themselves.
7. It's Important to Go that Extra Mile, but also just as important to limit the mileage you're willing to walk. Important to know the limits and when it is appreciated.
Let’s embark on this journey together to craft a sanctuary that feels entirely yours. We invite you to connect with us and share your vision as it evolves through our journey together, creating a space that truly reflects who you are and your family.

Services We Offer
At our firm, we believe that every home should be a sanctuary that serves your family’s unique needs, not the other way around. As a woman-owned business, we approach each project with a deep sense of empathy and understanding, treating our clients like family.
Our Architectural & Interior Design Services:
1. Personalized Design Consultations:
We take the time to get to know you and your family. By understanding your lifestyle, preferences, and aspirations, we can tailor our designs to reflect who you are.
2. Education Throughout the Process:
We believe that informed clients are empowered clients. From the initial concept to the final touches, we guide you through every step of the design process, ensuring you understand your options and feel confident in your choices.
3. Creative Budget Management:
We understand that a beautiful home doesn’t have to break the bank. Our innovative approach to budgeting allows us to creatively utilize resources while delivering stunning results that fit within your financial goals.
4. Functional yet Aesthetic Spaces:
Our design philosophy centers around creating spaces that are not only visually appealing but also practical. We prioritize functional layouts that consider daily activities—whether it’s cooking family meals, managing laundry, or maximizing storage—ensuring that your home works for you.
5. ADA and Age-In-Place Design:
We specialize in designing homes that are accessible and accommodating for everyone, including those with disabilities or age-related needs. Our seamless integration of ADA features respects the integrity and dignity of our clients, allowing for independence and comfort without compromising style.
6. New Builds, Renovations, and Additions:
Whether you’re starting from scratch, updating an existing space, or expanding your home, we offer comprehensive services to bring your vision to life. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that every project reflects your family’s lifestyle and enhances your daily living experience.
7. One-on-One Support:
Our commitment doesn’t end with the design. We provide personalized support throughout the construction process, ensuring that your vision is realized with the utmost care and attention to detail.
At our firm, we strive to leave our clients better than we found them. We’re not just creating homes; we’re crafting spaces where families can thrive, grow, and create lasting memories. Let’s work together to design a home that truly serves you and your loved ones. Your dream home awaits!
Careful intention to prioritize our client’s resources by drawing very detailed plans with specifications, that allowed HIL to pass off to the builder who then could prepare the construction schedule knowing ahead of time the amount of construction materials that would be required, sub-contractor skilled labor, and vendor lead times, that he could base his bid estimate and construction schedule accurately that best protected their budget, allowed the homeowner to spend part of their budget on the would be nice if items, rather than using it to pay for the mistakes and inconsistencies in installations that had to be later corrected that ate up all the fluff and made it so the client was only able to pay for the must have action list on their project, not a choice I’d like to make, so why should my clients have to deal with something that I could of help them prevent?
It’s all about being proactive rather than reactive. That budget goes so much further when it has been skillfully crafted and constructed in the preliminary planning process that HIL does with each client during Phase 1 of the design process. At HIL we aim to guide our clients to take an active role in the preconstruction planning process—to make them a strong partner—delivering a space for them to call once again “home” when they rest their heads.

Fostering happy homeowners
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY because...
The architect is the Quarterback of the project; without a good quarterback, the project doesn’t have an effective plan, putting out fires reactively versus proactively addressing critical issues that could arise during the project’s construction phases
It’s our goal to provide personalized, thoughtful, sustainable design + build processes while creating positive and meaningful relationships along the way. Each project starts off generally the same: a great idea + a dash of Hope = which, in theory, if everything goes as planned, turns your vision into reality.
It's the in-between part, where the sticky stuff happens, so how do you make sure to prevent that? Well, you can't; however, when you have a trusted partner and teammate on this journey with you, it's going to be way more likely that you'll have less of that sticky icky stuff as you go along. How do we make that dream a reality, it’s by having an inspired plan that produces dream results and with an incredible team of homebuilding professionals to guide you every step of the way.
It’s a trust-the-process bumper sticker moment and encompasses that if our clients can dream it, can build it mentality. When our clients come to us and hand over that budget, we consider it an honor and will do everything to teach, educate, guide, and protect them as we join them on their home-building & remodeling project journey. At HIL, we consider it the highest of honors to be selected above our competitors and even though we never let them know how much it means to us, by our commitment to the process of being transparent seeing how with communication and careful specifications, and how we create our construction drawings conserving labor time and materials, it was always HIL’s careful intention that allowed us to protect their budget, and being mindful in our communication efforts, when finally give them back their keys… they truly do feel that appreciation recharging in their new environment, where they spend so much time with friends and family… They can feel it has truly been our honor!
