The Design Studio is a Hull-based design-build firm on the South Shore, offering interior design, custom cabinetry, and construction/remodeling for full home transformations. It's co-owned by designer Julie Lyons and builder Bill Duchesney, with Lisa Lally also on staff as a designer, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. In a 2025 review, a customer said the team was professional and prompt, and that their kitchen came out great. That single account lines up with the firm's numbers elsewhere: a perfect 5.0-out-of-5 average from 2 Houzz reviews, plus 3 Houzz Awards and 2 Houzz Badges. The Design Studio pairs design work with hands-on building, which suits someone planning a fuller kitchen or home renovation rather than a single-trade repair.
