Zen Design

Is creating a clearer state of mind by eliminating illusion, and applying my vision and design by focusing on seeing your space without distortion. By utilizing proper elements such as materials, weight, scale, texture, color, I am able to create not only patterns of light and space, but energy. I have the gift of hyper awareness, which allows me to process and understand spatial interaction between you and your home or business in a very different, more positive way. 

The House Whisperer

Merging more modern, architectural elements with your space to truly create a unique sensory experience and tactile reality.

My Story

challenged Hi, my name is Rob Fischer, President of METRO R3, INC. In 1997, I established a small floor refinishing business working weekends and evenings while keeping my day job- was just a floor guy back then. Today, I’m grateful to have had many opportunities to work with some very generous, well respected, and extremely knowledgeable professionals, who have both challenged me, and mentored me to take on projects to learn from. I utilize many of those fundamental experiences and knowledge base tools still today. Behind the scenes...the first business I started was simply called METRO FLOORS, as I primarily refinished and restored floors in Milwaukee’s, Historical Downtown area for real estate companies, government offices, and other commercial businesses. It wasn’t until several years later, that I realized the business was evolving and becoming much more diverse, and that meant…the name had to change to better represent this growing company, and METRO R3, INC was born. Now, I’ll share a secret that many people didn’t know. The “R3” in METRO R3, has stood for many meanings things. In the beginning it stood for Refinish, Repair, Restore. Years later, the R3 referred to Refinish, Restore, Remodel. And officially today...it stands for Rethink, Remodel, Rebuild. 

Skipping ahead nearly 22 years, now armed with knowledge, experience, and a great infrastructural force (my team of dedicated, partner contractors), along with my innate passion for creating original, 3D Concept Designs, METRO R3 continues to evolve, into something much more significant. By continuing to build, solidify and refine our team, we are now ready to take yet another leap forward. 3D Concept Designed Kitchens, Baths, Basements, Home Additions, Commercial Build Outs and Home Building…are now ALL on the menu. 

It’s perfect! I’m in love with the kitchen cabinets and countertops...among other things. Lovely!
