added by Vanessa Brunner to Designer Sketch: Jean Dufresne
If you could change one thing about home design it would be ... The desire for more of everything and the constant consideration for resale value. So many homes are overbuilt. The McMansion serves no purposes but one of consumption. Several of our clients will speak of resale value as a deciding factor in their design choices. It is a valid consideration if they plan on staying in the home for less than five years. But for any family wanting to invest in a home for five-plus years, all decisions and choices should be made for them, for their family and how they live. In seven to 10 years, if they sell, someone purchasing the property will do the same thing they are doing: They will remodel, change the dated kitchen and update the bathrooms.What's your favorite new website?Bubble and SqueakWhat's your favorite up-and-coming design company?Ted Harris. He designs the most unique and amazing lamps. Your ideal client is ...A client who is open to new ideas, is willing to explore a variety of options and is honest about what they wish for and expect. Design is about feeling and emotion much more than it is about sizes and specific elements. I love a client who can speak about wants and wishes and with whom I can communicate openly and creatively.More: Tour one of SPACE Architects + Planners' projects | Find an architect or designer

I like the idea of having a couch near the kitchen so you could chat with whoever is cooking.
