“I like them to look, think and then look again.

“I like them to look, think and then look again.” I love this quote by Donald Judd. I recently saw his artwork at @diabeacon which someone would say it looks like a box but it holds a presence that demands engagement. His objects claims space around it. As you circle the boxes, your position changes what you feel. Time and space are not fixed. They’re made, and you’re the one making them.

Judd inspires how I design. I think about how people move and breathe through a space, from a ceiling design to staircase to a built in, so a home feels connected and lived in with real impact #PoeticModernism® #exhale #art #donaldjudd

“I love my space now. I love my home.” This client testimonial is everything. Because great design isn’t just creating a beautiful home. It’s about creating a home you love living in, love entertaining in and can’t wait to share with others. And when your client says she trusted you, felt wowed by the result and had FUN along the way? That’s the best kind of testimonial #poeticmodernism® #exhale #remodel #i̇nteriorarchitecture #newjersey

Part 3 minimal details- The best lighting is the lighting you don’t see.

One of my favorite hidden details is the concealed LED lighting beneath the stair platform. Once the platform is wrapped in stone, you won’t see where the light is coming from. It will simply appear to float.

That soft glow will draw your eye up toward the dramatic double height window, while the stepped risers add depth and dimension.

It’s these quiet, almost invisible details that make the architecture feel special #poeticmodernism® #invisibledetail #i̇nteriorarchitecture #modern

Part 2 Minimal details- door that’s designed to disappear.

A jib door sits flush with the wall, eliminating bulky trim and visual clutter. We are still under construction but the walls are being prepared for these types of doors.

Why do I love them? Because great design isn’t always about what you add. Sometimes, it’s about what you make disappear.

Quiet. Seamless. Intentional.
