No. 1
SPACE PLANNING
All great interior design projects start with creative space planning. Proper space planning is a science and also an art. It is an inherently nuanced process of visioning that requires the designer to understand the boundaries that can be pushed and manipulated in order to produce the highest and best results, for the least cost.
Our effective space planning considers the main principles of interior design: balance, harmony, rhythm, proportion + scale, and emphasis. |

Fun is something you would expect from a couple who named their company Ridiculous Design. [Their] house is full of quotes from favorite films painted on the walls and glass partitions. They're not the cozy adages you might expect but are of a generally edgier, appropriately off-kilter variety, like the bathroom's selection from Zoolander, which asks, "Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really ridiculously good-looking?"

Giorgio is also an amAzing artist, a renaissance man of sorts ... he designed the incredible light installation that runs the entire length of the spine, through to the main living areas that overlook the waterfront. THIS HOUSE SUITS US SO WELL - WE'RE A CASUAL FAMILY WITH KIDS AND DOGS RUNNING AROUND. WE WANTED THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES TO A BE A PART OF OUR DAILY LIFE, AND THEY TRULY ARE."
