Designing Harmony: Meet Stacey Westerberg, Founder & Lead Architect at SWARC Studio
At the heart of every inspired architectural project at SWARC Studio is a singular vision grounded in balance, beauty, and purpose — the vision of our founder and lead architect, Stacey Westerberg. Based in Vero Beach, Florida, Stacey brings a thoughtful, craft-driven approach to architecture that elevates everyday living into an artful experience.
A Vision Shaped by Place and People
Stacey’s journey in architecture is rooted in a deep appreciation for the way spaces shape our lives. At SWARC Studio, she leads with a philosophy that beautiful design reverberates into all aspects of daily life, encouraging dwellings that are both harmonious and deeply personal. This belief informs every project, whether it’s a coastal residence, a renovation, or a custom new build.
Under Stacey’s leadership, SWARC Studio blends creativity with technical expertise to design homes that feel as intuitive as they are striking. Her work champions timeless architectural principles — balance, proportion, rhythm, and scale — so that every space feels calm, coherent, and thoughtfully composed.
Holistic Design, From Vision to Reality
Stacey’s approach to design goes beyond aesthetics: she sees architecture as a holistic craft, a process that synthesizes site context, client aspirations, and environmental responsiveness. With every project, she and her team begin by imagining the ultimate character of the space, then carry that vision through every design decision — from initial concept to finishes and furnishings.
This integrative design philosophy reflects Stacey’s belief that architecture should feel seamless — where interiors and exteriors, function and form, utility and beauty are unified. The result? Spaces that feel purposeful, expressive, and uniquely tailored to the people who inhabit them.
A Process Grounded in Collaboration and Clarity
Stacey champions a design process that is as engaging as the final outcome. At SWARC Studio, every project begins with a vision meeting, where listening is as important as sketching. Through collaborative work sessions, schematic designs, and detailed presentations, Stacey guides clients from the first spark of an idea to photo-realistic visualizations and beyond.
Her emphasis on clear communication and thoughtful planning ensures that clients feel confident and excited throughout the design journey — transforming what can be a complex process into one that is intuitive, enjoyable, and inspiring.
Work That Reflects Craftsmanship and Context
Under Stacey’s leadership, SWARC Studio has produced an array of beautifully considered projects that reflect both the unique essence of Florida’s coastal landscape and the individual personalities of their clients. Whether it’s contemporary renovations, new custom homes, or refined interior environments, each design embodies Stacey’s commitment to lasting beauty and functional harmony.
Her designs not only respect the natural environment — including Florida’s climate challenges — they embrace them, integrating resilient strategies with elegant architectural solutions.
Looking Ahead
For Stacey Westerberg, architecture is never static — it’s an evolving conversation between people, place, and purpose. Her leadership at SWARC Studio continues to shape spaces that don’t just look beautiful, but feel right — spaces that are thoughtfully engineered, deeply personal, and timeless in their appeal.
If you’re dreaming of a home that resonates with your lifestyle and aspirations, Stacey and the SWARC team are here to bring that vision to life.
