Crafting Homes with Soul: The Synergy of Design and Construction
I was honored to be a guest on the Interior Perspective Podcast with Nicole Fisher out of NY last week. Fantastic host and a wonderful interior designer–this was a great conversation on the subject of interior design and its relationship with architectural design and build.
We discussed the original meaning of the Architect as a Master Builder–a subject I am passionate about and which deeply affects the interior design world today as well as all disciplines and trades creating the built environment today.
This is one of Nicole’s beautiful projects recently featured in Architectural Digest:
