My favourite undertaking is a apartment I labored on in Westhaven in Franklin. The homeowners have been empty nesters who had downsized from a bigger residence within the neighborhood. The apartment was fairly builder fundamental, however they have been searching for a extra customized area with plenty of type and performance. We took down a wall that opened up a stupendous view of the lake, and we took a totally unused area and turned it right into a vibrant bar with tons of storage. The kitchen bought a redesign with new tile, counter tops, lighting, painted cupboards, and a brand new range hood. This was my favourite undertaking as a result of the shoppers had been following my work for some time on social media and had been ready for a possibility for us to work collectively. Their openness to the daring use of coloration and their full belief in my imaginative and prescient for his or her area gave me the inventive freedom and confidence to drag all of it collectively.

As songwriters and creatives themselves, the owners allowed us to be the consultants on this undertaking from the outset, and with this degree of belief, we have been in a position to create such a particular residence for them, particularly in areas just like the eating room.

The distinctive mild fixture is by far one of the crucial spectacular options, however it’s actually the expertise when you sit down that makes it my favourite.

On the opposite, you see the true focus of the inside of the house, an unbleached Steinway piano. The breathtaking feeling created by the scene of this piano and the kitchen views is the stuff of music, and it’s doubtless that this home, and its homeowners, will create plenty of it.

Designing your individual rooms means doing a little deep soul looking out. I put my coronary heart and soul into every choice. I wished to construct and reside in a home that I might have the ability to love for years, and I wished my residence to be a way of expression: a home with lovely angles, character, a presence on the land, and high quality craftsmanship.
