The Art of Creating Space

Mountain Lily Studios began with a simple question: What if the spaces where we live, work, and play could actively nurture our senses and wellbeing? What if an intentionally curated environment could transcend differences and become a bridge connecting people and community?

We are Placemakers

We enrich lives and design for a better tomorrow.

Mountain Lily Studios is deeply rooted in the ideology that we are all connected, and that design is the art of creating space through which those connections are nurtured. We see design as a living, breathing dialogue between people and place, guided by a responsibility to design environments that are safe, equitable, and supportive of human well-being. Through thoughtful design in balance with the natural world and built space, we seek to cultivate a more resilient and inclusive future.

Our Approach

Mountain Lily Studios approaches each project with intention, curiosity, and exploration. We are beholders of balance and reflection, and instigators of change and forward progress. Our name is an expression of who we are and our philosophy that deep roots cultivate resilient growth. We thoughtfully design spaces that foster connection, wellbeing, belonging, and genuinely reflect the communities they serve.

Our Community

We are more than designers, we are active stewards of the communities we serve. At Mountain Lily Studios we know that meaningful design stems from strong relationships built on trust and communication. As advocates for our clients and neighbors, we approach each project with rigor, clarity, and collaboration, and work closely with our design team and stakeholders to bring our client’s vision to life.

Design Seeds | Root to Rise

Design begins as a seed: a concept grounded in purpose and possibility. As ideas take root, a thoughtful foundation is formed allowing design to rise with cultivated clarity. Through care and collaboration we nurture each project from its earliest concepts to full fruition.

Drawings and Details

Mountain Lily brought a unique Interior Design-led approach to two of our high-touch interior renovation projects. This approach allowed us to keep our resident experience top-of-mind while we negotiated the intricacies of an existing space renovation. The results are amenities that provide increased function for our users that surprise with exceptional design features and elements that we are extremely proud to show. Tara and her team were knowledgeable and professional while responding to input from multiple stakeholders throughout the process.

Broe Real Estate Group

Working with Mountain Lily Studios was a great experience. They were always willing to come on site whenever we needed them to review a specific detail, and their turnaround on submittals and RFIs was quick and reliable. Mountain Lily was easy to work through issues with and consistently showed great attention to the small details that make a big difference on a project.
