Multi-generational

Family’s are living in multi-residences under one roof – this means that the demands on our households have changed dramatically. Working with a variety of ages, heights, abilities, and needs requires careful planning and considerations.

Simple isn't boring

There’s a new wave of designing with a return to understated elegance. No need for the over the top, elaborately decorative rooms, just spaces that are authentic, historic, and artful. Simple is just as beautiful.

Farm-to-table

It isn’t what we use our kitchen for that’s changed, but rather how we use them. We’re focused on farm freshness and natural products that are safe and healthy. That means that our planning centres are different that out-of-the-box kitchens.

On August 22, 2010 By

Being a designer, I immediately began [...]

NYC is a buzz with Brizo

On February 21, 2010 By

How envious am I of all the designers on the East Coast who headed out to the Brizo show. Their tweets were endless… and only agrivating because I SO wanted to be there. Other than a bunch of kitchen fittings, I’m sure that I don’t have to tell you that the biggest [...]
