Design Manifesto

Interior Spaces critically impact the health and holistic quality of every individual’s life.  
 This impact can be negative or positive.  
 Therefore, I believe the following to be true of design:


Design awakens us from the mundane; 
drawing our attention to the inventive and imaginative nature of our world.   
Interior spaces move us out of two-dimensional living, 
where we settle for a flat, bland version of ourselves, 
into a three-dimensional awareness 
that reminds us of who we are and what makes us come alive.

Design engages each of the senses through authentic and honest construction, 
creating a distinct and tangible connection between us and our environment.   
This connection enhances our sense of self and enriches our relationships.



"In memorable experiences of architecture

space, matter, and time fuse into one singe dimension,
into the basic substance of being that penetrates the unconsciousness.

We identify ourselves with this space
this place
this moment
and these dimensions 

as they become ingredients of our very existence. 

Architecture is the art of meditation and reconciliation." 

Pallasmaa
