Tampa Design-Build Renovation

A full gut renovation is one of the largest investments a family makes. Sixth Sense Studio brings design and construction together so your Tampa renovation is planned as one project, not a relay race between separate firms. We focus on whole-home renovations and new construction, with ideal projects starting around $150,000 and work up to $1.2 million.

Why Design-Build

When design and construction are handled separately, decisions get lost between drawings and the job site. A design-build approach keeps the same vision, and the same accountability, from the first concept through the final walkthrough. Layout, lighting, plumbing, cabinetry and finishes are planned with the build in mind, so pricing is grounded and changes on site are fewer.

We work collaboratively with appropriate licensed trade professionals and builders throughout the project, so the design you approve is the home that gets built.

What We Renovate

  • Whole-home gut renovations of older Tampa homes
  • Kitchen and primary suite reconfigurations as part of a larger renovation
  • Additions and second-story expansions coordinated with your architect
  • New construction interiors, from drawings to installation

Our Process, From First Walkthrough to Final Install

1. The $199 in-home consultation

Every project begins in your home. We walk the space with you, listen to how you live, and talk honestly about scope, timeline and investment. You leave with a clear sense of whether we are the right studio for the project, and we leave understanding what you actually need.

2. Concept and space planning

We study the existing structure, light and circulation, then develop layouts and a design direction. For a gut renovation, this is where walls move, kitchens are re-planned and bathrooms are rethought from the studs. For new construction, we work from drawings with your architect and builder so interior decisions are made before they become expensive changes.

3. Materials, finishes and specifications

Stone, tile, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, lighting, hardware and millwork are selected together so the home reads as one intentional composition. We document every selection so the trades build exactly what was designed.

4. Construction coordination

We work collaboratively with appropriate licensed trade professionals throughout the build, answering questions, reviewing progress and protecting the design intent when field conditions demand a decision.

5. Furnishings, procurement and installation

Furniture, textiles, art and accessories are sourced, tracked and delivered, then installed and styled so you walk into a finished home rather than a pile of boxes.

Project Highlights

The best way to understand how we work is to walk through finished homes. Each project below was shaped around the people who live in it, not a predetermined look.
