What AT Design Consulting does

AT Design Consulting is a private, Irvine, California-based professional design consulting firm founded in 1995 that provides architectural color design, project theming, and development curating services to the building and real-estate industry. The firm operates with 1-10 employees and serves an enterprise client base that includes major US homebuilders (Lennar, Shea Homes, Toll Brothers, Taylor Morrison, Tri Pointe Homes, PulteGroup, D.R. Horton / Emerald Homes, Pardee Homes, City Ventures, Christopher Homes, Summerhill Homes), master-planned community developers (Fivepoint, Brookfield Residential, Tesoro Viejo Development), senior living operators (Silverado, Surland Companies), and international clients led by Emaar across Dubai, Egypt, India, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi.

The firm's core offerings are service-based and delivered through direct, relationship-driven engagement rather than a software or technology product. AT Design Consulting produces color and material palettes, design guidelines, signage design, and project theming by coordinating across architects, landscape architects, interior designers, and marketing teams to ensure cohesive visual identities for master-planned communities, single-family and multi-family developments, mixed-use projects, and commercial, hospitality, and civic projects across at least 16 US states. Its portfolio has earned industry recognition including NAHB Nationals Silver, PCBC Gold Nugget Awards, BIA Bay Area Excellence in Home Building, So Cal Awards, and Sunset Magazine features.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on quote-based, project-tailored engagements, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Business development is primarily referral-driven from existing enterprise clients, supported by content marketing through a company blog, a categorized portfolio website, and organic social presence on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Pinterest. No technology platform, API, or proprietary software product is offered, no public funding or institutional ownership has been identified, and the firm is led by founder Annie Tutunjian alongside principal Shahen Halebian.

Highly comparable to AT Design because both firms serve the same enterprise homebuilder clients and participate in master-planned community design teams.
