Riggs Design Build handles remodeling, custom built-ins, furniture, doors, and architectural features — with a particular interest in projects that call for something you can't just buy.
Riggs Design Build is a one-person design-build studio based in Knoxville, TN. I take on full remodels, and I design and build the custom pieces that go inside them — built-ins, furniture, doors, and architectural details. One person handles the whole thing, from the first conversation to the last coat of finish.
Room renovations and improvements, including the custom details needed to make the whole space work together.
Shelving, storage, benches, room dividers, and other pieces designed specifically around a room.
Barn doors, interior doors, unusual patterns and wood combinations — more artistic, one-off designs.
Tables, benches, shelving, consoles, and other one-off furniture built for a particular person or space.
Feature walls, fireplace surrounds, entry features, ceiling details, beams, and statement shelving.
Wood reliefs, wall sculpture, functional art, and unusual ideas that don't fit anywhere else.
There's no handoff between a designer and a separate build crew. And if you've got an idea you're not sure is something anyone actually does — a weird wall, an odd doorway, a piece of furniture that doesn't exist yet — that's exactly the kind of project I want to hear about. We can work through it together, figure out what makes sense for your space, and build it.
Have an idea you haven't quite figured out how to build? That's the kind of project I'd like to hear about. We can work through it together, figure out what makes sense for your space, and turn it into something buildable. The pieces below are concepts and inspiration — not projects I've built — showing the kind of direction I'd like to take on.
You don't need to know exactly how it should be built yet — tell me what you're thinking and we'll figure it out together.
