Our Focus
What matters most to us is understanding your needs and desires—not pushing our own ideas. At VL, we believe in creating timely, purposeful designs that speak to you.
You might already have a vision for your dream space—an idea of how it should feel, how it should function. But the journey from idea to reality can feel daunting, especially in a country that is not your own. The complexities of construction and design are overwhelming. After all, design is as much a science as it is an art—it takes expertise, precision, and a deep understanding of how spaces evolve.
No matter where you stand in your vision, the first step is always to explore the potential of your property. What are its strengths? What hidden possibilities can be unlocked? What are the areas that might need a little extra attention? An untrained eye might miss opportunities that a skilled professional will identify—small structural changes may bring newfound light and flow to a space, or transform its energy meaningful ways.
True transformation comes when you dare to think beyond the obvious, to see the untapped possibilities in a space. And that’s where years of experience come into play. It’s not just about making things look good—it’s about making them feel right, seamlessly blending creativity with function to create something truly unique.

Your Dream Is Our Vision
We think of architecture not as a single practice, but as several interlocking ones. Landscapes are inseparable from structures, ecology is inseparable from building requirements, and creating homes that feel like one on an individual level, is the ultimate goal. Aesthetic movements come and go, but we have found these principles to be timeless.
At Villanova Living, we don’t just renovate houses; we craft experiences. We take the time to understand what truly matters to you—the colors that comfort you, the designs that inspire you, and the details that make you feel at home. With deep respect for your vision, we transform your space into a one-of-a-kind sanctuary, where every corner speaks to your personality. Entrust us with your house, and let us work our magic, creating a home that evolves from your tastes and desires, yet surprises you with its beauty and harmony. You won’t know what it will look like until it’s complete, but rest assured that it will be a perfect reflection of you—timeless, personal, and extraordinary.
We turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, crafting spaces that are as unique as the lives that will unfold within them.
Our Promise
At the heart of our service is a promise: a carefree experience that guides you seamlessly from raw construction to a beautifully finished design.
Led by Andrea Graeser, whose 25+ years of expertise are at the core of every project, our team brings a rare depth of knowledge. Andrea’s approach is rooted in a deep understanding of your unique needs, preferences, and expectations. We design solutions that are tailored to the individual character of each project, adapting our process to fit the distinct energy of your space.
We begin by understanding the essentials: your budget and the needs of your property, but we dive deeper, tapping into its history and personality to shape a design that reflects both your vision and the property’s intrinsic character. A house, much like its owner, has its own unique essence—and our job is to blend these elements harmoniously.
Creating a home isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about feeling “at home.” The true art of interior design lies in discovering the needs of both the home and its owner, forging a connection that stirs the soul. This is where we excel: crafting spaces that resonate with that unmistakable emotion of comfort and belonging.
Of course, not every home needs a full overhaul. Sometimes, a few professional tweaks are all it takes to completely shift the atmosphere. We call this a “facelift”—a subtle yet powerful transformation. Whether it's changing textures, refreshing colors, or introducing a few bespoke elements, these small adjustments can dramatically enhance the feel of your space.
Let us transform your property into more than just a house—it’s time to make it truly yours.
