Design for living life.

RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE + INTERIOR DESIGN

 

Design from the inside out.

725 Design Collaborative is where blueprints become reality. This is where contractors, vendors, and designers align to make home design happen in meaningful ways. 

Founder and designer Sallie Huette works with homeowners and builders to design homes that are made for living life. With two decades of designing and project management, Sallie knows the ins and outs of how to transform an idea into a home.

Sallie bridges the gap from design concept to finished living space. From understanding the language of architecture to selecting aesthetic details that fit your life and style, she can take the project from concept to completion.

 Meet Sallie Huette

Sallie began her career at an influential Interior Architecture firm in Chicago. There, she honed her design skills and worked on projects ranging from commercial kitchens to uptown apartments. 

A self-described “small-town girl” at heart, Sallie and her husband decided to settle their family in the warm embrace of Valparaiso, Indiana after the birth of their first child. 

By founding 725 Design Collaborative, Sallie is able to follow her passion for design while serving the needs of her clients. She is driven by finding design-forward creative solutions that match innovation with lifestyle needs.

  • "A joy to work with"

    Sallie has been working with my husband and me as we renovate our kitchen. There have been times when I haven’t felt entirely confident in my selections– that is where Sallie has been so helpful by giving me her opinion and presenting other possible options. After a very short time working together, she had learned my style and that is why her opinion is so important to me. She’s been very responsive and flexible when it comes to meeting times – and that’s not easy because we all have very busy schedules! Sallie’s outgoing personality and fun nature make it a joy to work with her! I wouldn’t want to be going through this process without her!
