Stealing Moments

When we present a plan to a client many times we get comments like ‘why do I need an ice maker’, or ‘I don’t think we will need an overhead heater’. Often we are designing a project where we are starting from scratch, and it is hard for a client to picture wanting to use the space so much that these elements would be needed. Currently their space is used to host a 4th of July or Air and Water show party and never considered for a Halloween party or St Patrick’s Day event because the space just isn’t nice enough.
My response to the questioning of these details is that they are there to help you steal a moment that you wouldn’t normally find. These extra elements create spaces that are so appealing and functional that you will look for that hidden moment in your day to spend a few extra minutes outside. It might be a glass of wine late in November once the kids have gone to bed or a morning cup of coffee on a spring Saturday before the house is a buzz. It might be an impromptu gathering after a day at the beach or a morning run when a cold drink might just hit the spot.
Our spaces allow our clients to find those extra moments in the day to sit outside and relax. All of the hidden details like ice makers, overhead heaters, wine chillers, built in cook tops or even a little patch of SynLawn make stealing those little moments so easy they all but fall into your lap.
