In a season that naturally turns us inward, gathering becomes essential around food, warmth, and shared moments that nourish more than the body. This space was shaped with that in mind. A table custom designed to welcome many, to stretch long with meals, conversation, and the easy overlap of hands passing plates and cups. In a ski-in, ski-out home, it becomes a pause between movement and rest, cold and comfort. A generous, custom designed bench offers ease and closeness, encouraging people to settle in rather than sit apart. The room is held by tall, arched windows that frame the landscape beyond — snow, trees, shifting light — reminding us that even as we gather, we remain deeply connected to the place outside. Nearby, a large fireplace anchors the space, its presence felt as much as seen. And just beyond, a quiet niche waits for slower moments: early coffee, soft light, mornings shared by two before the day unfolds. 

I always design with people in mind — creating a framework for life as it unfolds.

Spaces that hold togetherness and allow for pause. Where meals nourish more than the table, and the spirit is quietly, naturally fed.
