Design Philosophy
"Our design philosophy starts with listening. You know
what you like, but how do you achieve your goal?
We listen as you articulate your vision, whether in
abstract or concrete terms. As we come to understand
your lifestyle and your tastes, we become better
equipped to translate your vision into reality, often with
spectacular results beyond your expectations. We’re
there at every phase of the project, helping you to
realize your goals."
Specialties
"Our expertise is best used when executing your vision
requires major remodeling. In one example, the client
wanted no surface left untouched. In others, walls
have been moved or disappeared, and rooms that were
previously of low value have been translated into
beautiful, cherished spaces. To achieve these marvels,
we manage various contractors, subcontractors,
furniture and cabinet makers, stonemasons, lighting
analysts, and other types of construction crews with
skills demonstrated to us on our many prior projects.
In the interiors, we have extensive product knowledge,
and can lead you to a wide variety of products that
match your taste. We’re also experts in kitchen and
bath remodeling, as well as lighting design."

both coasts of the US, Aspen, Guam and Cairo, over the

Our repeat client base includes Fortune 500 CEOs,

others who appreciate the value and quality of our
design and project management expertise. From
traditional to cutting edge contemporary design,
we bring fresh ideas, a sense of adventure and a
refined aesthetic to every project. Jan Gunn, the
principal, was on the Board of Directors of
Northern California ASID from 2004 – 2007 where
she was Director of Professional Development for the
Society’s 700 members."
