About Us
Durette Candito grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico where she was heavily influenced by the world-class art galleries and museums. Her studies in architecture and design were furthered by her incredible surroundings of European architecture with Spanish and Moorish details, as well as modern pueblo desert construction styles and techniques. Durette works toward a goal of “simple elegance” in her design work, always striving to incorporate sustainability in products and installation. Her projects include custom residences in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Taos, New Mexico, homes in Texas, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Beverly Hills, California, as well as health food stores and spas in Texas, New Mexico, and Nevada.
Durette opened her architectural design consultation business over twenty years ago after selling her successful clothing design studio. She enjoys the juxtaposition of fashion design and architectural design, and is currently working on a collection of crossover products to be introduced in the Fall of 2007.
Durette Studio showroom opened in the Fall of 2004 and features the finest door and cabinet hardware from all over the world, “jewelry for your home.” The studio also carries unique lighting, furniture, and accessories, located in 18b- the Las Vegas Arts District.
