With over 20 years of experience in residential home design, Marla Bruemmer has been creating personalized solutions for pleased clients in the greater Kalamazoo, South Haven and St. She delights in making it easy, natural, and fun for you to design a place that will embrace you when you come home to it. Marla established Design Evolutions Incorporated in 1998 and has designed hundreds of homes throughout South West Michigan. She was raised in a family that made their livelihood in construction and that positive experience led her to pursue a degree from Western Michigan University in Residential Design and Construction Management and Engineering.
Marla believes the design of your new home needs to be about you, your tastes, and your lifestyle - not those of the designer. Flexibility: Marla designs her services around what you need. With her strong background in construction, she can handle the entire project from initial sketches to full project completion, including construction, and interior design. If all you need is a home design, she can do just that. Special Design Considerations: Marla has experience with Feng Shui, Vaastu Shastra, universal design, and special needs.
Design Evolutions has many pre-designed home layouts for you to choose from. While they may not have the same level of personalization of a plan custom-made for you, they offer an affordable alternative. They can also be a great starting point to use when planning a fully custom home. The accompanying set of working drawings for your builder are specifically made for ease of use by your building crew. For instance, instead of dimensioning to and from the theoretical center of a wall, dimensions will go to something that the building crews can easily measure, such as the outside of the wall.
