Locals + Culture

A good relationship knows how to breathe, together and apart. Knows how to be close and give space. Knows how to compliment, and shine solo. What a joy it is to see people (and pup) be with each other in a way that makes sense. Every so often, and more and more in life, I am proud of my clients, my friends, humans, living beautifully. When folks relate well to each other, and care together for a home, it is palpable. Inspiring. And warm. 

When we think of mid-century architecture, we think of a time when folks wanted freedom. Space away from the cluster of the cities, privacy from the chaos of the world. Refuge. This 1959, Stephen Macdonald designed home, teaches us to look out at nature, and to feel our distance from the buzz of the city within view. Still close and connected to the convenience of modern life, but closer to the trails at the base of Mount Ogden, perfectly framed by deliberate glass. The third acre lot sits calm on a cul-de-sac that contributes to the privacy and connectivity of a neighborhood more still these days by comparison. As the world finds itself frantic and often, we find ourselves longing for simpler lives, with friends and family and furry ones.

For nature, real materials, and quality craftsmanship. For preservation of honest designs and worthy details. 

We want relationships that are built to last. Worth tending to. Both in their autonomy, and their connectivity. More to come on this gem, but for now, a genuine thank you to all the homemakers out there, for preserving what matters. And for showing us what it looks and feels like to have a healthy, happy, house.
