Our Design Philosophy

For decades now our clients have frequently commented on our “process” with appreciation for the time and effort that is made in not only making them feel comfortable on this journey, but for the ability to extract from them ideas and concepts that we ultimately bring to fruition.

The key element in this process is listening. We begin our client relationship with a series of meetings where we learn about the client’s lifestyle, habits and their aspirations for their home or office. Most importantly, we learn or help them discover what their personal sense of aesthetics are.

We accomplish this by creating a judgment-free atmosphere. Over the years we’ve learned that often the client does not really know or can’t articulate what their personal style or taste is. We lay a foundation of “no wrong answers” as we begin to formulate the best solutions for their needs.

The end result is that they feel they have ownership of this design from the very beginning. It is honest, exciting, and fun for all! And it yields very few “surprises” as they are involved during the decision-making process. This effort has resulted in decades-long relationships with dozens of clients over a period of multiple projects as their lives and needs evolve.”
