Frequently Asked Questions
-
We don’t just design pretty spaces—we design performance-driven spaces. Every layout, fixture, and finish is chosen to increase your cash flow, your resale value, or your guest experience. Our work is creative, bold, and investment-savvy.
-
Timelines vary by project, but most whole-house design projects take 4-8 weeks (smaller scope may be shorter, architecture may be longer). To make sure we hit the project goals, all we ask is for you to be available and decisive. Make sure you account for time on install and any required permits!
-
An architect focuses on the structure, layout, and spatial planning of a building—things like walls, ceilings, and how rooms flow. An interior designer focuses on how those spaces feel and function through furniture, finishes, lighting, and layout. At Moment Studio, we offer both so your project feels cohesive from the ground up.
-
Pricing varies by project scope, but we offer flat-fee packages for most design and architecture services. We’ll provide a clear proposal after our discovery call—no hidden fees, no surprises.

-
Yes—this is a core part of what we do. From layout to linens, we create a full FF&E (furniture, fixtures & equipment) plan and source everything to match your brand and investment goals. We even prep your install guide for setup day.
-
Yes—our architectural team can assist with site planning, code compliance, and permit submissions. Every area is different, so we tailor our approach to local requirements to keep your project on track.

While STRs are our specialty, we also design personal residences, boutique hotels, and commercial spaces—especially if they benefit from bold, memorable design. If it’s a space where people gather, stay, or experience something, we’re interested.
-
Absolutely—we work on everything from ground-up builds to renovations of existing spaces. Whether you’re upgrading a tired property or designing something from scratch, we help maximize both aesthetics and performance.
-
Yes. Most of our clients invest remotely. We’ve built a streamlined, digital-first process that includes virtual walkthroughs, 3D renders, and frequent check-ins to keep you in the loop from anywhere.
-
We're licensed in both Maryland and Virginia, but most states don't require an architect's seal to design single-family residences. We source all local codes to ensure compliance with your jurisdiction.
