THE PROCESS OF DESIGN...

CUSTOMIZE YOUR LIFEHarwood + Tabberson offers a full range of design services including custom interiors. The Chiu residence utilizes stainless steel appliance columns accented with brilliant blue laminate cabinets. The mix of high-tech finishes gives this kitchen its contemporary flair.

COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES

The circle inside a square motif is carried through every aspect of the design of the Chiu residence. The front gardens introduce the theme in plan. It is continued in the design of the front door and entry area, and then is picked up throughout the house in details like the main stair railing or in the flooring in the kitchen. This kind of comprehensive design gives the home a cohesive feeling throughout. The entire home is an expression of the family’s taste for modern, geometric aesthetics.
