This project was to design an
upscale interior for a couple in
their mid sixties that
incorporated their existing
piano and antique pieces.
They both have a refined
personality appreciating good
things, in addition to valuing
neatness and order in their
lives. Being individually
successful in their career paths,
they want a home that is
designed in a tasteful and
sophisticated manner,

concept of this

angled walls and
elements where you
hit corners and
passages to diverge
into different spaces.
