## About

MAISON ORION is an architectural design studio. We are driven to make life more enjoyable, elegant and equitable.

"My passion and specialty is the creation of building and spaces that delight all the body's senses. The human experience of the world is multi-sensory, and much of our time is spent in designed spaces, both indoors and outside. Bad lighting, harsh sounds, uncomfortable seating, ugly signage, and flimsy materials attack our senses and dignity at every turn. My goal is to design places that make people feel comfortable, welcomed, cared for and loved. In this environment we are well poised to do our best work, to live life richly, foster meaningful connections and feel at peace."

Founder, Scott M B Gustafson

**★★★★★ — dekleinman, May 2013**

> We worked with a Structural Engineer to help us design a remodel of our home. Once we got to city planning, everything became way too complicated for the engineer to navigate. Finally I arranged to hire Scott from Maison Orion to help. In short, Scott was able to compile all of the materials, consult with us, work with the coordinators at City Planning and complete the application and package for the HPOZ Committee.
>
> Thanks to Scott, we have our Certificate of Appropriateness and I'm thinking using him for continued assistance through the process with Building and Safety as well as construction.
>
> I look forward to continuing working with Scott and Maison Orion.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Where is the long couch pillow from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Very nice

**Q: Grey or grey or grey?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hi everyone, would love some advice on what you think of the colour we are proposing for our lounge. We're going to paint the wallpaper grey and might also paint the tiles on the mantelpiece grey. 

We will keep the original wooden floor. Which of the greys on the wall do you think is best and do you have any other thoughts/ideas on what we could do?!!

A: I would choose the lighter grey on the wall to the right of the fireplace. I would consider a color break at the moulding and stay white above. I would not paint the tiles / brick on the fireplace under any circumstance. They have a gorgeous sheen that I think will be a good contrast to the grey paint. I would also paint  the radiator and the electrical coverplates.
