One Sothebys International Realtys ELEVATE is a new program bringing pre-market design services to homeowners. Before listing a home on the market, ELEVATEs expert team evaluates the space, identifies profitable upgrades and executes the work from start to finish. We asked the team of experts behind ELEVATE for their top design tips. Here are their recommendations:
Lead Architect and VP of Operations Lorenzo Cabiella brings over 20 years of design, project management and operations experience to ELEVATE. Cabiellas tip takes into account the effects of the pandemic on the design of homes moving forward. For many the home and office have mergedmeaning more activities have to be packed into less space.I believe its inevitable that this intermingling of home and work life will change the way we design homes, said Cabiella. The pandemic has altered the way people separate their home and work lives in many ways, and its likely some of these changes will influence design for years to come.

Victor Palacios has spent years in the industry as a business strategist. Palacios suggestion is directly in-line with ELEVATES mission. He believes updating a few things in an out-dated space can transform it into a new, modern and elevated home. It is exciting to see the agents & clients enthusiasm at the hope of selling their properties for more than anticipated, and at a faster time-line, said Palacios.
Dominique Bonet is a Partner and the Lead Designer for ELEVATE. She started her career as an award-winning art director and set designer before she brought her expertise to interiors. Bonets biggest design tip: dont rush the design process. Design, in whatever field, is a never ending process, said Bonet. It goes hand by hand with our evolution as human beings.
