JENNIFER ORNE DESIGN IN COLLABORATION WITH BILLY ROBERTS DESIGN
I began working with Billy Roberts in the summer of 2004. His company Three, Inc. specializes in Architecture, Interiors, and Landscape. Our largest project has been the Sea Island residence which we collaborated on with Harrison Design Associates. I assisted Billy with designing all the millwork, tile layouts, floor patterns, fireplace elevations, lighting layouts, and custom bed designs. We all had a hand in the fabric selections, furniture, art, and lighting.
My favorite design is shown here in the foyer. Billy wanted a nautilus shell in the foyer tile design. I suggested the shape of the segments of the nautilus to mimic the tread of the circular stairs. That way when viewing the lower level of the foyer from above the stairs appear to continue into infinity with the nautilus tile. Custom water cut limestone floor was carefully placed by the artisans of Materials Marketing. I based my drawing on the golden rectangle and scaled each stair tread according to the mathematical proportions of this historical formula that we all have learned in geometry. Nature when studied closely is perfection.
