My learning curve in the last decade since establishing my studio boils down to one simple belief: Good clients make good projects. I remember a few things distinctly from the first time I met the homeowners—their simplicity, warmth and willingness to explore a design approach that wasn’t dated. The expansive residence—at 3,800 sq ft across two storeys—designed about 12 years ago had different requirements now. Since the daughters had moved out, I was briefed to redesign the upper level of the home. The greatest challenge was to tie the two levels into a single aesthetic, especially since I was only renovating the top floor, not the lower one housing the living area, kitchen, powder room and a guest bedroom. So, I realigned the upper storey to the homeowners’ current needs.
