The Team

Annie & Louis

Kines Home Design began organically after two personal renovation / addition projects. We are a husband and wife team who decided it was time to build something for ourselves (no pun intended!) and in 2023, took the leap to begin our business. We are a boutique builder who carefully sources property, draws floor plans, oversees construction, designs interiors, and stages each home. We emphasize healthier interiors and enjoy sourcing products like hemp insulation, zero VOC paint, and water-based finishes where applicable. In addition, we focus on using natural materials like hardwoods and ceramics and take into account the natural beauty that surrounds each home.

Louis

Construction & Development

Louis worked for Sea Island Habitat for Humanity for 8 years, gaining start to finish knowledge of the home building process from land acquisition, through each stage of construction and inspection, all the way to handing the keys to the new homeowner. He has built over 25 new homes, overseen various renovations, project managed entire teams and builds great relationships with all subcontractors.

Annie

Floorplan Design & Interiors

Annie's background as an artist and jewelry designer paired with a lifelong appreciation of interiors and use of space has transferred nicely into this role. Beginning with pencil on graph paper, she conceptualizes the entire layout from an aerial perspective, then focuses in more closely on kitchen design, window placement, space planning, furniture placement, etc. She procures all fixtures, tile, cabinetry & finishes and stages each home at completion. After taking a class with the Healthy Materials Lab through Parsons School of Design, Annie became passionate about incorporating healthier building materials into each project. When she's not in the office, she's almost certainly at the thrift store.
