Bio Andy’s approach to design is rooted in tradition but tempered by a strong infusion of modern elements. Whichever style he chooses for a given project, his fondness for warm colors and clean-lined furniture prevails. He believes that all objects need not produce the same visual impact, and tends to juxtapose strong graphic elements with more passive elements to create settings where objects stand out sharply. He especially loves to find the perfect balance between his clients' practical needs and their stylistic preferences. Taking these considerations into account, Andy integrates them into a sound design framework that determines the choice and arrangement of furniture and object, color scheme and lighting plan. He pays close attention to how color adjusts to ambient light as it changes throughout the day, culminating in the drama of nighttime lighting. Successfully rearranging the objects his clients already own is one of Andy's greatest talents. He views the process as a mathematical equation—they are the unchangeable “givens.” The challenge becomes finding a solution that will incorporate the old with the new. Andy is most satisfied when, after the completion of a house, his clients beam with enthusiasm, telling him how much they love entertaining there as much as living day to day. |
