San Francisco, Pacific Heights Interior Design Project: John is a 27 year old (modest) genius with an innumerable amount of education for us regular terrestrial folks. He is now a successful working part of a Bay area high tech company’ s colossus brain. Tho’ Being a nerd might have been considered unpopular a while back... Being a nerd is the “new sexy” these days so I definitely wanted to capitalize on John’s exceptional character trait within my design concept; this in a clever / fun/ contemporary and upscale fashion!

Project Inspiration: Leonardo Da Vinci (1452 - 1519), an italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer.

Client briefing: John wanted to upgrade his apartment...
from basic to “comfort”
from college years to “mature”
from messy to “seamless” (uncluttered)
from IKEA to “UPSCALE”
from generic to “individualized”
from compromised to “meant to be”
all ... while Keeping the space non-constrained (minimal) And have it be “at least as nice as a hotel”... so he can stop staying at hotels in his own city!

Client: John P. (San Francisco, CA)
