RESIDENTIAL DESIGN

Stewart Residence The task was to re-design the public space of the residence by providing architectural features. Client requirements included a defined traffic pattern within the large space, proper acoustics, wall partitions, custom features, cohesion, space for artwork, and sculptures to be displayed, layered lighting, and ease of maintenance. This client wanted their home to feel like they were living in a hotel.

Design solutions included dividing the area into five usable and defined spaces. Area rugs, custom partitioned walls, key lighting, and ceiling features were selected to provide both cohesion and division within the large space. Two separate walkways were designed to aid in egress and security. The area rugs, upholstered furniture, and ceiling details aid in proper acoustics. Custom space within the walls were designated for the client’s artwork and sculptures. Commercial fabric was selected to lengthen the life cycle of the furniture and for easy maintenance. The space is reflective of a luxury hotel.
