JOURNEY
Eidetic Image: An image that encapsulates the emotion of a space. Warm. Elegant. Clean.

The building is located on the corner of a university campus, nestled between an Art Gallery and a Performing Arts Center. This space works as a relief from that, intending to filter people and create a space to break from the main attractions. The row of trees lining the sidewalk formed regulating lines, spurring much of the design.

Materials were chosen with warmth and contrast in mind. Built entirely of travertine limestone, with brushed aluminum and brass accents the materials were each specified to fit the site and the surrounding locale as seamlessly as possible. 10

A FALSE IMPASSE
“...let us regard the interior not as a space created by protective surfaces and moods, but rather as a porous field defined by realms and structures. Otherness will trickle in and a productive contamination will ensue.” -Florian Idenburg; Solid Objectives...Order, Edge, Aura

DECADES
Classic design of times passed; Each era represented through the often scorned art of architectural detail, on display throughout this large home. A client who scoffs at the idea of throwing away the wealth of generations past for such a silly reason as trend. All can come together to create a timeless elegance, comfort, and individual style.
