I hold a deep respect for masculinity, shaped long before I understood design — learned by observing presence, steadiness, and restraint up close.

I’m drawn to rooms that feel solid the moment you walk in, where material, structure, and proportion do the work. Rich woods, dark metals, carved stone, and heavy textures set the tone when built with discipline.

Walnut and oak paneling, burnished brass, and hand-carved millwork bring a sense of history and craftsmanship I’m drawn to. Clean lines and modern forms keep everything current. Marble in earth-tones, coffered ceilings, tailored upholstery, and architectural lighting create depth without excess. The palette stays rooted in warm browns, slate, charcoal, tobacco, and aged bronze, balanced by natural light and time-worn finishes. These interiors are grounded in tradition while still working for modern life.

This is the kind of design I respect and return to — materials that speak for themselves, structure that holds its ground, and spaces designed with longevity in mind.
