Between the extremes of Greek temples and the Guggenheim is a vast ocean of architecture and design. Vernacular architecture is the architecture of the people, borrowing from various traditions and personal preferences, and varying with climate and the materials and resources at hand.
Craftsman, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, French Country, Tudor, Victorian, and Edwardian are all examples of transitional styles.
Whether a design is typical of a style or a total departure from style based on a personal vision, the principles of good design remain the same. A custom designed interior is much like a tailored garment. It is made to suit the users. One client may want a cozy protected feel while another may insist on a grand expansive space. A mature design encompasses many different types of spaces that complement and contrast each other but still work together. This type of design is all about comfort, using materials, light, and color in a way that suits today’s lifestyles but borrowing the best from the past and present while planning for the future
