maria kelly giles | interior design Design Philosophy
Design should complement the fluidity of our daily lives. We need spaces to stimulate well-being, provoke liveliness and provide comfort for varying lifestyles. As designers, we can accomplish these goals by understanding client needs and striving to deliver above and beyond their expectations.

The handrail was not part of the initial design. As the space was being used, we noticed the walls becoming damaged and then solved the problem by exchanging the original chair and added the protective strip
