Aesthetics

If you find meaning in the built environment, it should be reflected in where you live, it should mirror the personality and ideals of its owner(s). It should fit not just your makeup but your values as well. It should, simply put, be a statement of you. The aesthetic of a project is driven through the use of design principles and engagement of the site. As one of its core principles, one house green strives to engage design at many levels. We contract designers with specific areas of expertise. Interior, kitchen, lighting, and landscape designers all collaborate on our projects. Having said that, one house green is, at this time, a vent for my own creative energies predominantly. And as such, it reflects, and embodies my personal values as well as my own sense of style.

Over the course of the past 20 years, this style has continued to develop, maintaining a certain fluidity to its description. I have heard my houses described as looking different but feeling the same. I feel that this speaks to my beliefs on how a house should function, and be built, not just look.

That, to me is an aesthetic, a fingerprint, something that is unknowingly there. Almost as if that the hand of the designer, has consciously removed all evidence of the hand of the designer. An effort made, to be submissive to the inspirations and happenings of life.
