SMILE AVENUE

Smile Avenue in Meridian, Idaho, is a client-driven design for Dr. Timothy Balzen. Right from the project's inception, Dr. Balzen actively contributed his insights, drawing from his past experiences in various dental offices. A pivotal aspect of our design approach centered on optimizing the flow within the premises, particularly the hallway. Driven by Dr. Balzen's preference for seamless accessibility, we crafted a circular flow design ensuring quick access from his office to every operatory room. It was also critical to have two dentists in the office, which meant more operatory rooms, along with private restrooms for each dentist. This dentist's office is for patients aged 12 and up, so he wanted it to feel sophisticated but include pops of color.

ABRAHAMS' KITCHEN

The Abrahams' kitchen was designed for the Sub Zero Wolf design competition. With a vision to blend culinary arts with social connectivity, the homeowners aimed to transform their kitchen into a hub of conversation, bridging the gap between cooking and living. No longer content with facing a window in isolation, they envisioned a space where culinary creativity could unfold amidst the flow of shared moments. Central to their desires was a pantry that not only offered functionality but also concealed the chaos of culinary experimentation, allowing the kitchen to retain its pristine allure.
​As the designer, my main goal was simple: to create a kitchen design that just felt right for everyday living. It was imperative that the kitchen seamlessly integrated with the surrounding living spaces, ensuring that no one felt excluded, regardless of culinary endeavors. Drawing inspiration from the idyllic charm of the French countryside, a vision emerged through collaboration with the clients. Earthy hues and rustic textures became the palette, evoking a sense of tranquility and warmth. Despite the spatial constraints, creativity flourished. Maximizing every inch of the 300 square feet available, we strategically placed a generously sized island, transforming it into a multifunctional centerpiece that optimized both workspace and social interaction.​

With just five bedrooms, The Wooly Sheep Hotel fosters an intimate atmosphere, allowing guests the opportunity to forge meaningful connections with fellow travelers. Drawing inspiration from the endearing sheep that roam the island's landscape, every aspect of the hotel's design reflects this quaint and endearing motif. From the cozy interiors to the thoughtful details, guests are enveloped in a sense of warmth and tranquility that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Skye.
