How Agenda Design + Build Makes Every Project Personal

At Agenda Design + Build, we believe your home should do more than look beautiful, it should feel like you. That’s why we go beyond blueprints and Pinterest boards to design spaces infused with story, purpose, and personality.

Sure, we know how to perfect a vaulted ceiling or create seamless indoor-outdoor flow, but what really sets us apart is how we listen. We hear the stories that make you smile. We notice what lights you up. Then we get to work designing a home that reflects not just your taste, but your life.

Take, for instance, the original Stetson Mansion doors we salvaged and restored. Once weathered and forgotten, these historic beauties now stand tall as sliding barn doors in the entryway of one of our favorite builds. Each morning, our client walks through them to her office, passing not just into a workspace, but through a piece of living history.

Or consider the client whose heart belongs to New Orleans. We traveled there to track down the perfect French Quarter doors to serve as the grand entrance to their master suite. They don’t just walk into their bedroom, they’re transported.

Sometimes the soul of the home is four-legged. Maggie, Beaux, Nikki, and Leroy—our clients’ love their pups, and are as much a part of the design as the lighting plan. We’ve turned nooks under the stairs into custom dog rooms, installed dedicated dog washes, and even made sure their doggy doors are as stylish as they are functional. These aren’t afterthoughts. They’re family features.

And for those with a love of travel? Enter The St. Thomas, a custom build inspired by island charm, complete with a lower-level pirate bar named One Eyed Jack’s Tavern. It’s not just a basement, it’s a memory-filled hideaway.


Sometimes, it’s as simple and powerful as a vintage sink. In one project, we sourced a classic porcelain basin in the exact shade of our client’s favorite childhood memory, her grandma’s house. Now, every morning feels like home in the deepest sense.


We create personalized spaces, from outdoor retreats to hobby areas. Whether it's a garden patio with rose paths, a stone fireplace under a gazebo, lavender walking lanes, or a fully equipped workshop, we help you live your story.


Every beam, board, and brick can speak to you, your memories, your passions, your people.


That’s the Agenda promise: thoughtful design, built for life.


Let’s make something unforgettable together.
