In-House Design & Construction,
All Under One Roof

East Troy, WI

From the first idea to the final detail, James R. Taylor & Sons works alongside our in-house design firm, Taylor Design & Co., to bring your project together. Our designers and construction team collaborate from the start, helping homeowners make informed decisions on layouts, materials, finishes, and selections while keeping the design and building process connected.

Led by Principal Designer Lucianna Taylor, alongside Junior Designer Layne and Design Technician Brooke, our team is rooted in a shared passion for creating spaces that feel easy, natural, and lasting. We gravitate toward materials like linen, wood, and stone—layered in a way that tells a story without overwhelming it.

Our approach centers on simplicity with intention, creating homes that are both elegant and effortlessly livable. From mood boards and space planning to detailed layouts and 3D renderings, every element is carefully considered to reflect your lifestyle.

Whether designing a full home or a single room, we focus on the details that make a space feel welcoming the moment you walk in—timeless, refined, and uniquely yours.
