Via Lido Design

Via Lido Design Construction is where vision meets discipline. I'm a designer! A creative soul at heart, who finds and does all things with an artistic eye.

As a licensed, woman-led General Contractor design–build firm we deliver full-service residential and boutique commercial transformations with disciplined scope, structured timelines, and refined ex*****on. We do lighting for the décor world. These amazing lights have a very unique quality and style to them. Incorporating the functionality of lighting with an aesthetic that is both eclectic and in

dustrial, using reclaimed heat-treated wood and vintage inspired wire and sockets. Using copper and teal, white and pink, or black and grey color combinations, just to name a few, to make statement pieces for the home, office and studio spaces. My love of stones and rocks I’ve used in my designs of jewelry since the beginning has crossed over into the designs of these lights as well. A pendant overhead dripping with Aquamarine or Rose Quartz will perfect any reading nook or quaint office space. A desk lamp that is statement solo is even more impressive with a large raw chunk of Moroccan Geode a-fixed to it.

Every decision in this house was made for how people actually use it, not how it looks in a listing photo.

Hidden barn doors that close off the laundry when guests arrive. An open shower built for sandy feet. A primary suite with barn doors that save space instead of eating it. A shuffleboard table where a built-in used to be, because kids need somewhere to go.

That's beach house design done right. It's functional, it's specific, and every single detail came from asking the right questions before touching a wall.
The open shower in the primary isn't just aesthetic either; for an Airbnb, it's practical. Guests don't linger. Turnover is clean. The space works for the business model, not just the lifestyle.

If your house is one bathroom short for your family's needs, send me a DM. I'll look at your floor plan and see what's possible.

This Balboa Island bayfront home didn't need more beauty; it needed better function. ✨

The 1970s layout had charm, but it wasn't built for modern living (or today's Airbnb guest).

So instead of fighting the existing plumbing… we designed around it.
That one decision changed everything:
✔️ Faster build
✔️ Lower cost
✔️ Smarter layouts
✔️ Better bathrooms
✔️ Elevated guest experience

From a dated 2-bath floor plan to a fully optimized luxury rental. Every inch was designed with intention

Good design isn't just pretty. It's intentional and functional.

If you're planning a remodel, don't start with aesthetics. Start with systems, flow, and function... the beauty will follow.

A 1970s Balboa Island Bayfront home. Two bathrooms, dated everything, and a layout that made no sense for modern living.

Here's the move most people miss on a remodel like this: before drawing anything, find where your plumbing already lives. Kitchen, bathrooms, wet walls, those locations tell you where you can add without blowing the budget. Work with them, not against them.

That's how a 2-bath house becomes a 2.5-bath house without a slab demo. The plumbing was already there. It just needed someone to read it.

Now it's an Airbnb that works exactly the way vacationers need it to. Guests have a powder room that keeps them out of the private spaces. Hosts have a layout that protects their home.

Function first. Always.

If your home is one bathroom short, DM me. I'll look at your floor plan and tell you if the plumbing is already working in your favor.

Good design is like good music… it hits differently.
This corner is the perfect harmony of warm woods, nostalgic vinyl, and plants that breathe life into the home.

At VLD, we design with intention — layering warmth, texture, and personality to create spaces that feel lived-in, harmonious, and effortlessly inspiring.
