On most projects, the architect draws the shell and hands it off — and a separate designer arrives later to make the inside work. The seams show: a beautiful plan with nowhere for the refrigerator, or gorgeous finishes fighting an awkward window.
Because I'm licensed in both disciplines, none of that gets lost in translation. The plan, the light and the finishes are resolved together, by one hand, from the very first sketch.
That's not just tidier — it's better design. Decisions about structure and style inform each other in real time, and the finished home feels inevitable rather than assembled.
