The ideal of happiness has always taken
material form in the house. It stands for
permanence and separation from the world.

Where form embraces function
Function is as important to us as it is to you. We know it's vital that your space support you: in all that you do, and in the way that you live. We've helped many clients achieve functionality they simply never dreamed possible, because of limitations of their space. We've also helped clients achieve functionality they didn't even realize they needed, until they had it!
We believe in design where form embraces function. We see no need for conflict between a space which functions effectively, and which is truly beautiful. Where there's a question of balance between form and function, we make sure you have all the information needed to make the best decision for you.
