THE RICE PROJECT

With multiple seating areas, a fire pit, a unique pergola, and a custom spa, this project is near and dear to my heart.

TRANQUIL

FUNCTIONAL

INVITING

JOY

Dreams do come true—especially if you’re a member of the Rice household.

This project is very special to me. Not only did my clients let me do my personal branding photo shoot here (which you probably recognize from seeing the rest of my site!), but it was also one of the business projects I’ve undertaken as a business owner.

When I start a project with a client, I always explore different concepts: their vision and my curveball. In my curveball concept, I provide my interpretation of their vision and maximize exploration.

I was delighted when my clients picked the curveball concept. They could see that my recommendation had everything they wanted, with spaces that would work best with movement, function, and style.
