Buildings, like music, are made of pattern, texture and movement. Inspiration can be found everywhere - as long as you look for it.

When I'm feeling particularly stuck for inspiration, I sit down and sketch. As I begin to draw, I find that the ideas begin flowing. What about you? How do you get yourself into a state of flow, even when inspiration won't come? ... See more

Practicality. Harmony. Balance.

These are three things that I infuse in every project. We used a monochromatic palette and strict proportions to achieve that sense of harmony against his beautiful artwork - and that stunning view!

Wouldn't you love to wake up to this gorgeous view of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains?

We all have items we treasure in our homes, and they deserve to be proudly displayed. In doing this home remodel, we had new bookshelves built for the office so the client could display their collection of eclectic folk art. It’s all about blending practicality with personality.

Can you believe it's been 12 years since the @santaferailyard opened?

I love all of the projects that I get to work on, but when the result is something as beautiful and transformative as the Railyard, I can’t help but feel inspired all over again by the work I do.

I feel so proud to have played a role in such a monumental project, particularly when I see that the space continues to be used in so many creative ways by our vibrant Santa Fe community today.

Giving back to our community on projects like this one is a huge part of what I do, and something I value very much. How do you like to give back to your community?

When it comes to remodeling your home or building an addition, it’s more important than ever to pay attention to the details. I pay particular attention to the style and finishing touches of your existing space, and make sure to bring them into the new rooms.

In this new master bedroom, we introduced hand-stenciled ceilings and locally-made vigas that would compliment the rest of the home. Tell me, what catches your eye first?

It's one of the most underrated parts of architecture and design: entryways.

Don't you agree? There's something so magical about a truly captivating doorway that invites you into the space. This doorway at the Banco Populare by Carlo Scarpa in Verona is one of my all time favorites, with its local marble and brass.

Carlo Scarpa was a true master. Particularly his use of bronze - never mind stone, concrete and space.

Every room in the Casa Roca tells a story. One that fits the home's original charm and my client's collections of art, objects and books, while making space to live, connect, socialize, and make new memories.

To me, elegant design means making things look beautiful while also ensuring the space functions well for its intended purpose. Tag someone you would love to cozy up with in this little haven.

When I started dreaming up The Rabbit Bend Cabin, I dreamed big. Like the one you see here, some of my first designs were more like lodges. They included large suites for each family member, with separate public living spaces where we could all come together.
In the end, though, we scaled those designs way down, opting for a simpler, two-story design with a large screened-in porch. It was all about deciding what was most practical for our family, and the way we like to spend time together.
