What we value
Serene
SERENE environments balance both a sense of refuge and opportunities for enjoyment of outdoor views. There is often little distinction between indoors and outdoors. Materials and colors are muted, and there is ample opportunity to be surrounded by favorite things.
Durable
DURABLE design, incorporates, long lasting and low maintenance materials with simple joinery and detail.
Timeless
TIMELESS design occurs when all of those elements are achieved. Over the past 100 years of modern design, we can also find many lessons from design themes and solutions that hold up well for decades. Our clientele is often drawn to mid-century, modern design, because its simple lines and honest use of materials, are combined with large areas of glass to encourage indoor-outdoor flow.
Comfortable
COMFORTABLE spaces give consideration to the proportion of ceiling height to floor area, have heating and ventilation systems that assure relaxed enjoyment, and provide balanced daylighting.
We find that the ideal design creates a serene environment that offer both refuge and opportunities to enjoy outdoor views, blurring the distinction between indoors and outdoors. We embrace durability by incorporating long-lasting, low-maintenance materials that utilize simple joinery and detail. We strive for timeless designs that draw inspiration from successful themes and solutions that span the past century, such as mid-century modern design with its simple lines, honest materials, and indoor-outdoor flow facilitated by large glass areas. All of this is done to create comfortable spaces, that prioritize balanced daylighting, indoor-outdoor flow, a sense of security and refuge, and maximizing views.
A truly modern liveable home requires knowing who is going to be living in it.
