DISCOVER THE VISION BEHIND
STUDIO SIXTEEN'S ARTISTIC APPROACH TO INTERIOR DESIGN
OUR PASSION FOR CREATING UNIQUE AND FUNCTIONAL SPACES THAT REFLECT YOUR STYLE AND PERSONALITY
Our story
We’re Lauren and Josh Klassen, the husband-and-wife duo behind Studio Sixteen Inc. While we’ve been officially working together for about five years, in reality it’s been a full-time partnership since the day we said “I do.” With nearly 100 projects completed side by side, our journey has been built on creativity, craftsmanship, and a whole lot of love.
What started as Lauren pursuing her love for interiors and Josh leaving his teaching career to bring those visions to life, has grown into a business built on creativity, quality, and heart. With Josh’s deep respect for true craftsmanship, and Lauren’s eye for thoughtful, inspired design, we’ve built a company that blends beauty with integrity. Together, we’re a powerful team; designing spaces, building dreams.
Our Process
Pre- Construction
Design Phase
construction Phase
Every project begins with a detailed site evaluation using advanced iGuide technology. We capture precise measurements and assess any necessary structural considerations, coordinating with our trusted trades to ensure a seamless start.
In the design phase, clients work closely with our expert team to shape a space that reflects their vision and lifestyle. From initial consultations to moodboards, space plans, and 3D renderings, every detail is thoughtfully curated.
After the design is complete, the project transitions to our Project Manager and Build Team. From permitting to execution, we manage the entire construction process with precision and discretion, delivering exceptional results with minimal disruption.
