Hello, World!

Cultivated over time, the collections of objects in this 1928 Spanish Colonial home tell the story of the young family living there. This family is about discovery, they love to adventure together and forge pieces they find while exploring.

Collections range broadly in aesthetic, age and value. Found objects, family heirlooms, art glass, paintings, Polish Posters rossmoyne-tooltip-polish_posters-01 Polish Posters The Polish School of Posters (1950s–1980s) influenced graphic design globally through its use of metaphor, personality, humor, fantasy, and highly suggestive imagery—blurring the line between art and design. Polish Poster for the 5th International Poster Biennale in Warsaw, 1974 and children's art all sit together with zero hierarchy. White walls and subdued furniture choices are supporting elements that act as a thread of continuity.

Maximizing spaces for connection was the main design criteria. As the backyard originally had a fragmented layout, we fabricated an oversized plaster seating area to define a focal point for gathering.

The living room was conceived as the ideal environment for late-night conversations after children were put to bed. Large uplit plants and chrome accents added ambiance and bounced light around the room. To amplify a love of graphic design, a pair of custom maple shelves were created with recessed sides to display rather than enclose book covers.
