I Ten Designs

It’s been pouring PRESS here! 💙​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Overflowing with gratitude to Cottages & Bungalows for featuring our serene blue bathroom in the latest issue! ​​​​​​​​
🫧​​​​​​​​
From a cramped, outdated space to a tranquil retreat, our transformation journey speaks volumes to the power of design. By embracing our Studio’s Creed of form, function, and ecology, we’ve not only expanded space but also invited nature in through a larger window. ​​​​​​​​
🫧​​​​​​​​
Remember, even when it seems like nothing’s happening in the foreground, magic is brewing in the background. I have to remind myself of this as well. ​​​​​​​​
🫧​​​​​​​​
Stay tuned for before and after images of this incredible project!

Dare to defy the ordinary in 2024. ✨ ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This year, I decided not to follow my default habits of creating a word for the year or writing a resolution list. Life happens while I am busy planning it anyway. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Dare to defy the ordinary in this new season by embracing the unexpected and leaving your comfort zone behind. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Your built environment in which you connect to yourself & others plays an integral role in achieving your dreams. Make your new year count by investing into yourself & your environment. Make unconventional choices and unleash individuality. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Cheers to Y O U in 🥂 2024. ​​​​​​​​

Who else is crazy about this upcoming dining room project? The design direction for this upcoming project changed 180 degrees after my recent visit to Cappadocia, Turkey. Cone shaped exteriors, smooth and textured surfaces along with organic forms inspired the art direction and stunning selections.

A client asked recently how world travel inspires or influences the design process here at ?
•
Travel is one of the main drivers behind the creativity in the design studio but not the only source of inspiration.
•
At times, you create something and see something similar later.
•
In this case, I worked on this design palette before my visit to Cappadocia, Turkey. I was blown away that the palette I created indeed was very similar to the cave interior. i-10

Fairy chimneys. Valleys. Cone shaped rock formations. 🧚🏻‍♂️ Guess who lives there now?
