A room remembers you

A house that is staged for sale has a different job than a house that is designed to be lived in. We do both — and it is the second that teaches us how to do the first well.

When we design for a private client, we spend the first visit asking questions that have almost nothing to do with furniture. Where do you read? Who cooks? Where will the dog sleep, on the day you say it will not be on the sofa? The answers are the brief. Everything after that is only the execution of what we already heard.

Rooms remember the people who lived in them. A good room makes the memory easier to hold.
