Building Homes with Pulse and Purpose 

Bringing Homes Back to Life

Meet Shauna Roman

At “This Is The Place,” Shauna isn’t just flipping houses—she’s creating homes that honor the unique character of their communities and are built to endure.



Each project is personal to Shauna, designed with the same careful curation she would bring to her own home. From selecting high-end materials to working with seasoned contractors and realtors, her mission is to elevate the potential of every property. Shauna is passionate about delivering homes that are as functional as they are beautiful, leaving a lasting positive impact on homeowners and their neighborhoods.

From Family Cabin To The Tie That Binds 

At the heart of "This Is The Place" is a rustic cabin along the Moose River in the Adirondacks, where Shauna’s family has gathered for years. More than just a structure, this modest cabin holds a legacy of meaning, connection, and warmth. It taught Shauna that any house, no matter how humble, can feel like home. Inspired by this legacy, Shauna and her team bring the same warmth and intention to every project, crafting spaces that foster connection and belonging. This cabin is where she feels most at home, and as a designer, she hopes to help others find their place, too.


In loving memory of John and Helen Risk.
