Open volumes add spaciousness to a home, and skylights bring in floods of natural light. Together these signature design elements create a bright and modern living environment.
35 Years - A Look Back
Looking through our design archives at the number of projects and the terrific clients we’ve enjoyed serving, three and a half decades has added up to a body of work we are excited to celebrate and share with you, along with commentary from principal architect Marc Whipple.
The Powder Room
The name originally arose in the 18th century for a small closet-like space in the house where guests could go to have their wigs re-powdered, containing essentially a chair, mirror and perhaps a vanity.
Designing for Art Collections
Many of our clients are passionate about art and have collections they wish to bring to their new home. These collections include paintings, photographs, sculpture, pottery, rugs, and mixed-media, and are important reflections of their personal aesthetic and history.
