Scandinavian Secret- House design

The goal was to create a space that is sophisticated and organic while keeping it comfortable and diverse for everyone. I call this home a “Scandinavian Secret” because it has the look of a modern Scandinavian home, but feels like an untold family story, that is waiting to be revealed. I have incorporated organic structures and gorgeous natural materials in each zone with a personal twist. Each room is designed in a way, unique to itself.

Soothing Oasis- Builder Spacial Home

My goal as was to create a space that is sophisticated and modern as well as functional and free. The concept of a “Soothing Oasis”relates to your home being your oasis in the empty desert. An oasis is known to make you feel calm and relieved. This feeling is achieved by incorporating organic shapes and lovely natural materials in each zone with a modern twist.

Au Naturel- "FRESH" Garage makeover

The word fresh instantly makes me think "natural and open". This Au Naturel garage is a space created to help my client feel like herself, away from the worries of the world. This feeling is best expressed when you are in a relaxed and open space, so you can easily think and refresh your mind. The goal of this space is to create an earthy, relaxing lounge, where you can relax and take a break, as well as a creative, natural studio, where you can openly explore and express your thoughts. These two spaces have been designed to be minimal and neutral with necessary furniture and accessories. I have used all natural materials such as natural oak wood and lots of plants as well as lots of organic shapes and furniture to help create the feeling.
