DESTINATION LIFESTYLE AND DESIGN with Sherry Engle of Reverie West

On this episode of destination lifestyle and design, Jeanine Sipple Dougherty hosts Sherry Engle, President of Reverie West to an insider’s discussion about destination design. Sherry shares that destination design by Reverie West is about “capturing the vibe” of a place in a unique way that has meaning and not repeated. Reverie West sets out to provide a higher level of design.

Sherry shares a recent apartment living project in Anaheim, California that was designed to set itself apart from it’s neighboring competition by creating unique design elements inspired by lifestyles of its potential tenants and offering unique design living amenities. Sherry also shares a story of what inspired another project “Morning Squeeze” in Tempe, Arizona. The client asked Sherry to design a space that captures an “Austin Powers- meets Miami” vibe.

Destination is not defined by a dollar, but by the experience, a place creates through all the senses.

Sherry Engle has spent her career crafting design solutions that create impactful environments and speak to unique destinations. Engle has a gift for marrying design and architecture in a way that produces beautiful, functional spaces.

Engle began her career, working in an architecture firm as a draftsperson and later as an estimator for a construction company. Those experiences ignited her passion for interior design and led her to Arizona State University, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1998.

Since starting her own design firm in 2001, Engle has built a strong reputation within the industry and an impressive portfolio of both commercial and residential projects.

Reverie West formerly S.E. Design, Inc., provides a higher level of design value while driven to work with clients seeking a firm with creative wisdom and services that go beyond the typical scope of offerings. They are laser focused on creating impactful environments that tell rich stories and speak to unique destinations while crafting spaces in which you love to LINGER | EAT | SLEEP. Their name is synonymous with what and who they are: – dreamers, BIG, BIG dreamers, dream-MAKERS, and conduits for making the imagined reality. Reverie West is forging new territory and discovering uncharted possibilities of design with a fresh fervor and exuberance.

Their team is a curated group of talent that transcends most firms. They go beyond finding the right image or current trends and create strong narratives where thoughtful consideration and intense collaborative research are paramount. They delve into the high in the sky ideas to the nitty gritty details, yet always strive to maintain targeted budgets and real solutions that provide authentic, inspirational experiences.

Their mantra is to go beyond what is expected, to dream big and articulate designs that go beyond our client’s expectations for the following project types:

Multi-housing | Retail | Boutique Hotel | Hospitality Environments | Food and Beverage Design and Concepting

DESTINATION LIFESTYLE and DESIGN with Michael Blue of Forte Homes

The Forte Difference – Integrity

At Forte Homes, we know that the client comes first. We have been top-ranked custom home builders for 25 years and will continue our dedication to quality with your build. We have built our business and reputation on being positioned to deliver a high-quality product and customer satisfaction with each and every home for each and every family.

By focusing on our key strengths as a team we know we can deliver you the home building experience of your dreams. These strengths are teamwork, predictability, value and convenience. You will see evidence of them in everything we do.

Our Strength: Teamwork

Each of our customers is supported by a four person team. Each member of the Forte team brings their own strengths to your project.

Co-owners John Cochran and John Perkins have been partners and custom home builders since the beginning. One of the owners will be your project manager. Both have engineering backgrounds and together they have project managed over 500 homes.

Our project coordinators have a combined 45 years of experience in project management and customer relations. They support the project managers and site superintendents throughout the entire design and construction phases of the project.

Our site superintendents all have an extensive background in the construction industry and have all been licensed general contractors in the field. Their sole focus and dedication is ensuring that our subcontractors build your home to the highest quality.

Our accountant ensures that all the financial aspects of the project, including coordination with the construction lender, run smoothly.

Our entire team is committed to your home and to keeping the project running smoothly from conception to final walk-through.

We don’t stop there – we are also proud to refer you to the best of the best in your extra services – we consistently review and assure the quality of pool design firms, landscaping companies and interior designers. If we recommend them to you, you know that we trust the quality of their work.

Our Strength: Predictability

Forte Homes has been in business continuously since 1993. We have been ranked by Phoenix Business Journal in the top 10 custom home builders in the valley for most of the last 25 years. You can count on us to be there in the future.

We believe that even for your Dream Home, you need to be able to plan and budget. We do not use the “cost plus” model that many other custom home builders use. Instead we offer Fixed Price Contracts – your final price is not dependent on the rising costs of labor and materials. Should you require a change to the original plan, this may incur an additional cost, but otherwise the price we quote is the price you pay. You can take that to the bank.

Our Strength: Value

We are proud of our unsurpassed ability to deliver the highest quality product and service at the most competitive price in the industry. Our clients trust us to help value engineer their homes – to ensure that all materials deliver the best performance required at the most reasonable price available.

Our Strength: Convenience

The Design Center at Forte Homes is unique among custom home builders in the Phoenix area. We boast a large showroom stocked with a wide range of materials for all parts of the build. No running from warehouse to store, we can discuss all your materials in the comfort of our beautiful showroom.

Should you or your interior designer wish to shop around or source materials elsewhere, we will also be happy to work with your outside vendor.
