Transform Your Surroundings

Beth Harrington-Howes has been redesigning homes since 2006.  She has built her business designing renovations and new construction of single family residences, with an eye toward helping her customers get the most for their money and get the most use out of their limited space.  By problem-solving, her designs use the home as it exists and, with the fewest changes possible, she transforms it to suit her client's needs.  While focusing first on the function of the floor plan, she then turns her attention to improving or updating the facade and curb appeal of the house.  The final product is designed to work well and look great, too!  While most of Beth's work has been done in Fairfield County, particularly in Darien, she has done projects from Maine to Virginia. She has also done commercial architectural design, with the support of a structural engineer.  She has redesigned the office space for a nursery school and the main rooms of a non-profit immigrant educational/employment center.  She also specializes in handicapped accessibility or universal design.  Beth grew up in Darien, Connecticut, and attended Darien public schools.  She graduated from the University of Connecticut in the 1970s, with a liberal arts degree.  She went to Norwalk Community College for her architectural training in the 2000s.  She and her husband, Obie, raised three children in Darien and have recently relocated to Portland, Maine.  Beth continues to serve her many Connecticut-based clients from her new home in Maine and is welcoming new clients, in both locations.
