PROPOSAL

An architectural environment is a living composition. The primary function of this environment is to support the inhabitants for which it was intended. Home is a stage where we play out each crucial scene in our lives, flexible enough to support each incremental change, but stable enough to provide balance and re-assurance.

In organizing space, care needs to be given to prospective growth, not only providing comfort of movement, but also nurturing a connection to light and air. When developing and detailing a space, care needs to be paid so that materials, surfaces and color contribute to development and comfort, as well as, creating the necessary balance needed to support each day of our lives.

Design appearances are never the product of accident. Design is always the result of growth, as if sprouted from seedlings of a direct succession of needs and requirements. Beautiful homes are often grounded in foundations that seamlessly conjoin with site in a symbiotic and supportive marriage. Much of the character in a home is inherent in the flesh of materials found between the structure and it’s inhabitants, but it is the quality of spaces that these materials create that truly provide our daily frame of reference.
