FROM ORDINARY TO SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY
.01 LINES-OF-SIGHT
Designing with intentional lines-of-sights that frame and highlight interior views.
Designing with intentional lines of sight involves strategically framing and highlighting interior views to enhance the visual experience of a space. Carefully positioning architectural elements, such as doorways, windows, or structural features, guides the eye toward focal points or points of interest within the space. This deliberate framing creates visual depth and intrigue, drawing attention to key design elements while creating a sense of harmony and cohesion throughout the interior. Ultimately, intentional lines of sight create dynamic, visually engaging, captivating, and delightful spaces.
.02 ALCOVES/POCKETS OF SPACE
Incorporating alcoves or pockets of functional, practical space that create depth and interest.
Integrating alcoves or pockets of functional space into a design adds both practicality and visual interest, enhancing the overall depth of the space. These recessed areas serve as versatile zones that accommodate various activities or functions while contributing to the aesthetic appeal. Incorporating such features creates dynamic and multi-dimensional spaces that offer both utility and charm.
.03 SHELTER, LAYERED SPACE

Creating recessed areas within an interior design scheme adds depth and dimension to the space, fostering a sense of shelter and layering that creates an inviting space with coziness, intimacy, and warmth.
.04 JUXTAPOSITION OF LINE AND SHAPE
Introducing contrasting lines and shapes enhances visual depth and interest in a space.
When executed skillfully, the introduction of contrasting lines and shapes yields an intriguing juxtaposition that elevates a space’s visual depth, allure, and beauty.
