Although we see every project as an artistic opportunity, we believe form follows function.
How have husband and wife team Michael and Deborah Sauri of TriVistaUSA Design + Build managed to thrive for over twenty years in the competitive Arlington design/build market? “Bespoke solutions rooted in a deep expertise in resource-efficient building techniques, joined with an understanding of our sometimes-challenging zoning regulations—all while having fun,” says Michael. “Oh, and best of all, our primary focus: We do cool projects for cool people.”
The Sauri’s are pretty cool themselves. Both are artists—Michael is a musician, Deborah is a designer. This provides them with a distinct advantage in their competitive industry. “Every project is unique—we don’t do cookie cutter,” says Deborah. “Although we see every project as an artistic opportunity, we believe form follows function. Our entire team collaborates on our designs so that we can create a custom-crafted solution that fits each of our client’s unique visions.”
Their reputation has grown alongside their award-winning business. Widely recognized for their expertise, the Sauri’s are sought-after speakers at regional meetings and national conferences, and they are valued business advisors to other remodeling companies in the U.S. and Canada. Michael is president of the Professional Remodeling Organization (PRO) Mid Atlantic and TriVistaUSA Design + Build has recently been voted Best Remodeler for 2024 by Arlington Magazine’s readers.
What has changed for the Sauri’s over time? As Michael explains, “Now we are given much larger and more complex opportunities to create entire new spaces for clients.” What remains the same is the artistic approach Deborah and Michael bring to everything they build.
Q&A
Q: What is unique about your process?
A: At TriVistaUSA Design + Build, we take pride in a process fueled by collaboration. We engage our internal build team alongside our architects and designers during the design development phase. Every TriVistaUSA member takes part in outside-the-box thinking to craft innovative design concepts. This approach results in multiple high-design solutions, all of which respect the budget, each with a unique artistic bent. From the very first presentation, we encourage client collaboration. A recent client said it best: “What sets TriVistaUSA apart is the continuous synergy and collaboration throughout the entire design and build process. They combined our vision with the creativity and expertise of their team to create a design perfectly tailored to our family. They gave us the custom home of our dreams, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.”
Q: What sets TriVistaUSA’s design team apart?
A: We do “cool projects for cool people.” Our clients ask us to be fun and creative—they come to us with some pretty remarkable home remodeling dreams. Our design process is unique in the way that we see a partnership: We dream with our clients, collaborating to create one-of-a-kind, custom designs. A bedroom coffee bar, a disco bathroom, a speakeasy lounge, a kids secret bedroom hideaway, an immersive golf simulator room … just to name a few.
This is fun! What could be cooler than making someone’s dreams come to life? We like to think of ourselves as your fairy god
