HOME IS SACRED

You deserve a home that feels intentional, deeply personal, and seamlessly aligned with how you live every day. When the structure and layout support your rhythms, everything else falls into place — from the flow of a room to the details that give it soul.

For more than two decades, SACRIS Interior Architecture & Design has partnered with homeowners throughout Northern New England — from the North Shore of Massachusetts and the NH Seacoast, through the Lakes Region and mountains of New Hampshire and Maine — to create homes that are as architecturally considered as they are deeply livable.

How can we help?

Our Services

As you navigate the many decisions that shape a renovation, we act as a steady, trusted partner—listening with intention, anticipating challenges, and translating possibility into thoughtful, enduring solutions. From concept through completion, we provide purposeful guidance and creative insight through a design process that honors both your lifestyle and the inherent character of your home.

Each project begins with a holistic approach, considering architecture and interior design as an integrated whole. We carefully evaluate the home’s layout, natural light, and historical details, establishing a strong and cohesive foundation before introducing finishes and furnishings.

At SACRIS Interior Architecture & Design we provide comprehensive support for all of the technical aspects of interior architecture: Cad drawings of floor plans and elevations, the selection of new windows and doors, lighting layouts, details of custom millwork for doors, windows, ceilings, paneling, stairs, and cabinetry, fireplace design, natural stone and tile design, kitchen and bath fixture specifications, hardware selections, and complete finish schedules of all finishes and materials.
Your home deserves a design process that’s seamless, intentional, and deeply considered. With full-service support — from smart space planning to cohesive palettes and bespoke furnishings — every detail is curated to reflect your vision.
You gain an artful mix of old and new, with thoughtfully selected pieces—custom furniture, lighting, textiles, artwork, antiques, and more—chosen for their character, quality, and alignment with your budget. Expert guidance helps you make confident, inspired decisions at every step.
Through years of experience we have cultivated enduring relationships with a trusted network of builders, vendors, artisans and craftspeople. Like much in life, it is the people behind the products and services we provide our clients who make all the difference.

"Working with Jenn was a pleasure! Her organization, creativity and attention to detail are what make her work exceptional. Jenn got to know us; our tastes, preferences, and lifestyle. Her suggestions were based on this as well as her keen sense of design and access to amazing resources. Her collaborative spirit encouraged us to be very involved and made our decisions considerably less overwhelming through her careful editing of choices and the ability to always keep the big picture in mind. The result is a space that is beautiful and feels cohesive, custom, and most importantly, like home!"
— Andover, MA Homeowner
"I was extremely satisfied with Jenn's work and with Sacris Design. Jenn was the consummate professional to work with, and she worked in concert with our contractor and other subcontractors on our project. We did a major renovation/re-decorating of our home - Jenn assisted in all phases of the project, from furniture, painting, wallcovering, floor coverings, paintings, countertops, lighting, window treatments - just to name a few! She was also able to source very unique hardware, furniture, and window treatments from all over the U.S. and overseas."
— Boxford, MA Homeowner
"I have been working many years with Jenn on design projects for our home. She helped pull together our home after working with other designers who did not deliver. Jenn is very professional and very knowledgeable. She offers many thoughtful and creative ideas on how to do the project and the best way to invest your design dollars. She is a stickler to detail. Jenn is a very good listener and has an incredible knack of determining what can and cannot work. Jenn's assessment of the design project has always been on point. She did an incredible job bringing our home together by creating much better flow and function, as well as making it look really beautiful with paint, construction, furniture and accessories."
— Newburyport, MA Homeowner
"Sacris Design had an amazing impact on our living space. We are so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Jenn Sanborn. She exercised just the right balance of her professional knowledge in conjunction with our tastes and wishes. Jenn is able to offer as much or as little guidance as her client requests, all while ensuring the end product is beautiful. She does not impose her own design tastes on the client. Jenn helped see the project through from blueprints to window treatments. She worked well in conjunction with our contractor in a very professional manner. The rooms are truly striking. She has changed our home for the better."
— North Andover, MA Homeowner
"I called Jenn after construction had already begun on our project, and my only regret is that she wasn't involved in the process sooner. Our kitchen remodel was quite extensive and involved a small addition. Initially, I thought that Jenn would help put the final touches on our remodel, but I had no idea how much help we really needed. Our kitchen cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, trim, lighting, paint and window treatments all were transformed by her thoughtful suggestions. Jenn saved me from myself several times from selections that I now know would have been disappointing, at best. Our new kitchen and breakfast nook are truly lovely, and everywhere I look I see Jenn's design."
— Brentwood, NH Homeowner
"I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Jenn and Sacris Design! We embarked upon our first home renovation and wanted to transform our 90's style master bathroom. Jenn created a design which was amazing and gorgeous. She is cost-conscious and knows where it is worth spending money and where it does not make sense. She has an incredible eye for detail, which can truly make the difference and create a jaw-dropping room. Jenn is direct and easy-going. She is a pleasure to work with and we definitely hope to work with her on future projects!"
— Amesbury, MA Homeowner
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for designing such a lovely kitchen for us. I finally had the energy to cook last night and made our first real dinner in the kitchen. Every time I look around I see all of your thoughtful changes and suggestions that have made such a difference. Our kitchen isn't just a functional space, but a truly comfy and lovely place to be. It really feels like the heart of our home now. I'm so lucky that you found the time to work with us. Thank goodness because you saved me from myself several times. I don't know what our kitchen would have looked like without your input, but I do know that it wouldn't have been as lovely."
— Southern NH Homeowner
"We have worked with Jenn over the last 8 years on various parts of our home. In fact, her fingerprint is on every room of the house except our second floor which we will start this year. The fact that we return to Jenn repeatedly for our different projects speaks to her expertise. She excels not only in space planning, but design of that space as well. She is really good at helping you reimagine what your space could look like even if you have no vision of your own. She has a fantastic eye for detail whether it be picking out furniture and window treatments or paint/wall coverings and floor coverings."
