SAMUEL DESIGN GROUP

Stunningly seamless integration of space, light, and heart is a trademark differentiator of designer Lisa Samuel. Her company is founded on this premise. At its core, integration is an aim for inhabited spaces to elevate our life experiences. Samuel, president of Samuel Design Group in Santa Fe, utilizes credentials in design, architecture, and construction to extend imagination into internationally award-winning design projects; projects that promote life-enhancing power.

Samuel is proud to introduce the talents of Clayton Brandt, architect and interior designer, as her partner.

The Samuel team shares this express belief: “The design of spaces we occupy can have profound ‘life-enhancing’ power when the project is approached from a reverent heart space where everyone involved in the project is treated with kindness and respect.” This factor is essential to the collective philosophy of Samuel Design Group.

Designing interiors and exteriors of homes is where Samuel believes the environment can truly be seen, felt, and expressed. She says, “Our home environment is, and has been, the foundation for a healthy life. The aesthetic beauty can positively enhance our living and supply us with a foundation for health. One’s home should be a space that encourages the best version of yourself. Even the most beautifully appointed room is truly empty unless the intrinsic energy and personal meaning is graciously curated.”

Samuel believes that healthy business environments are equally essential. Commercial lighting and interior design projects integrate every passionate detail for luxury hotels, resorts, galleries, and restaurants. Samuel shares, “Design expresses everything a business values: your products, employees, culture, and your customers. We can turn any room into a statement piece to convey the unique heart of your brand. Fabrics, furnishings, and finishes are selected to express your business’s unique identity. Every element has a purpose related to your company’s essence.”

Design of aesthetically nourishing environments has earned Samuel the highest accolades. Samuel has won local, national, and international awards, including the prestigious International Property Award for Best Interior Design of a Private Residence, “Best of Houzz” for Design, and Customer Satisfaction by Houzz, the leading platform for home remodeling and design.

Samuel concludes by sharing, “When does a house become a home? When does any space envelop you and make you feel good? Is it designed to soothe? Many say that a house is made by hands but a home is made by the heart. In my experience, a space can only become a home when the owners’ personality and heart have been considered in each and every element I design.”
