“It’s important to follow the client’s vision. For instance, a painting that a client falls in love with and wants to design a room around. ”
Preferring that the homeowner be an integral part of the design as it evolves, and have input at every stage, Gerry uses regular meetings to discuss fabrics, furniture and floor plans. A meeting with Gerry is like getting together with old friends. His style is very conversational, with questions that are important to the design sprinkled into casual and comfortable socializing.
Gerry always begins with the functional needs of the family, and the architecture of the home itself, as well as the clients’ own taste, in order to develop a foundation for his designs. Gerry’s view of any home is that it should be livable. It should feel cozy and safe to its inhabitants; and must satisfy their practical as well as their aesthetic needs.
