Design House Northwest
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. In this issue, we focus on renovations and on change—something we at GRAY have never shied away from as long as it spurs growth and feeds our core mission to raise the profile of exceptional design. We know that change means living simultaneously in the past, present, and future, and regardless of the scope of a project (from historic hotels to minimal modern apartments), that’s a challenge. And that’s why we have the highest esteem for the game-changing moves of the individuals and firms featured in the following pages. The Northwest has always been a vanguard of innovation, the great driver of change. In keeping with this regional zeitgiest, we’ll introduce you to three powerhouse thought leaders who are fighting for meaningful change in inclusive design, then send you inside the time-honored Judge Ronald House, where you’ll see the genius new interiors that marry the home’s original splendor with modern panache. And because we believe that change comes on many levels (including our own pages), we’re introducing a new column in this issue that features one globally celebrated designer interviewing another. This time it’s Graypants’ Jonathan Junker and London-based Lee Broom discussing the evolution of their respective businesses and their experiences in the lighting design industry. Enjoy!
