Studio 431

We are the architects and interior designers behind the happy-place store and brand.

We started happy-place as a way of pooling together all of the technologies, designers and products we love and believe are worthy of recommending to our clients and friends. Consider it an architectural candy store.

We offer in-store architectural and interior design consultation, so drop on by and talk to one of the architects, interior designers or LEED accredited professionals that own and run our store.

We, also, work in an R&D capacity with materials and technology industries to help create better places.

“The spaces that surround us, both in the public realm and at home in our private sanctuaries, have great impact on how we live: how we move, how we think, how we feel and how we perceive the world around us. These spaces remind us of who we are, what we believe, what we aspire to and what we enjoy in life.” - Kimberli Bragg, President and Senior Architect

We believe that creating unique, detailed and sensitive environments adds richness to experience, creates and evokes memory and improves health and happiness.
We believe that professional design services should be utilized by everyone to insure the safety, quality, value, function and beauty of their built world.
We believe in the value of creating “place” in a world that is increasingly generic and “placeless”.
We believe that like Winston Churchill said, “We shape our buildings; thereafter, they shape us.”
