The Natural
Order Of Design
We believe there is a hierarchy to good design, one that respects the important relationships between the environment, architecture, furniture, and décor that create a sense of harmony. Whether we're reimagining one room or an entire home, we first examine a project's context—the home's location, siting, available sunlight, architectural references, flow, and focal points—as well as our clients' lifestyle. Once we understand the fundamentals, we then begin to design the space with consideration of all important elements in mind.
Environment
The environment is the highest rung in the natural order of design; it is the world in which we create and build. To create harmonious interior and exterior spaces, we first must understand the ecosystem where the house exists—urban or rural, coastal or mountainous—and the natural colors, sunlight, and views that connect it to its surroundings.
Architecture
There is a symbiotic relationship between a home's architecture and its natural environment. We study the interior and exterior style and materials of a home, how the structure is sited on the land, and how the property relates to its surroundings, in order to create a more harmonious and inspiring way to live.
Rooms
The layout of a room should flow naturally from the logic of the home's architecture, as the room is simply a microcosm of the building itself. We study the spatial format and interrelationship of rooms to understand their purpose, focal points, advantages, and drawbacks, enabling each space to be maximized and utilized in the best possible way.
Furniture
Once we understand the environment, architecture, and spatial layout of a project, we determine what key furniture, modular kitchens, wardrobes, and lighting pieces are needed to anchor and define each space. We address your specific requirements for design, quality, and comfort while creating a cohesive, harmonious atmosphere throughout the entire home.
Décor
After we select the foundational furniture pieces that will provide balance and symmetry, we curate distinctive surface finishes, luxury bathware, and art items to add unique character to each room. Artwork, textiles, architectural doors, and decorative objects are chosen to enhance the home's architecture and design aesthetic.
