A model life…

When someone decides to build a house, they often have a vision of the home they’ve been dreaming of. The job of Architects and Designers is to take that idea and make it tangible. One aspect of our design process is wooden scale models as part of an integrated presentation package. The construction of a physical model allows our clients [...]

A material world…

There are so many great finishes in the design world to choose from that it makes selecting them one of the most exciting aspects of being a Designer today. We’re constantly sourcing new and interesting materials to incorporate into our designs. In a recent project we used the Nimbus wall covering by Weitzner. Made from [...]

We wanted to add fun pieces of the island’s past to our client’s newly built home and while searching through a box of vintage Martha’s Vineyard postcards we stumbled upon some really great ones. They interested us not only for their images of bygone days but also for the notes written across them. What was most fascinating were the [...]

We’re Styling……

Styling a photo shoot can make the difference between thumbing through a magazine or stopping and reading the article. Kristen and Breeze from our team spent three weeks gathering beautiful pieces from all over the island and their studio for the shoot. They had the opportunity to work with the talented photographer Brian Vanden Brink and the result of that [...]

Coming around again…

During a Brimfield treasure hunt, we stumbled upon two antique French riddling racks. We fell in love with the slightly distressed wood and small cubby holes. We brought them back to the Studio and have used them as a way to display some of our favorite fabrics.  Originally they were created as a way to remove [...]

Make it custom…

We love creating custom pieces for our clients. Recently we had the opportunity to create a one of a kind dining table using an amazing vintage United Airlines sign as inspiration. Purchased from the Brimfield Antique show, the sign hung in our showroom until a client showed interest in it. We began thinking of ways [...]

Well hello there…

“It is only at the first encounter that a face makes it’s full impression on us.” Arthur Schopenhauer People always believe that first impressions are everything. The same can be said  for houses. The architecture is what is first seen and it is the entryway that can provide great insight into understanding the way a family lives. It can be quiet and unassuming, [...]

Summer time and the living is easy…

The Studio is really busy and we’re getting more and more excited about the approach of our season. We’re always looking for new inspiration to infuse our latest projects with energy and style. For a few of our best picks we only needed to look as far as our own studio…..while others we found in some of our favorite places. [...]

Take a seat…

The Architectual Digest Show in NYC was exactly the inspirational trip we needed.  As we walked around the show we noticed that we were drawn to several new chair designs. While all chairs serve a purpose, we were taken by how beauty, form and function can combine to create an interesting piece for any space.  Here [...]
