Hello November!
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I've been thinking about what makes a house feel like home. Wilson and I have always loved entertaining. In fact, when we moved to Seattle in 2019, we bought a 9ft dining table while living in a 650SF apartment. A little ambitious, perhaps, but we knew the kind of home we wanted to create. The challenge was finding a house that fit the table!
Fast-forward to last Thanksgiving, when we hosted nearly 20 friends around 2 long dining tables. It was a wonderful reminder of why we'd put so much thought into creating spaces for gathering, including our 15ft kitchen island. The best homes aren't just about how they look, but how we live in them. I'm sharing more about that philosophy in this month's blog.
Elsewhere, we're exploring homes designed around entertaining, from a modern gathering pavilion in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood to a Palm Springs midcentury party house and a remarkable Broadmoor residence.
As we head into the holiday season, I'm especially grateful for the friends, clients, and community that make Seattle feel like home.
Happy Thanksgiving!
–Matt

DESIGNING FOR THE WAY WE LIVE.
This month, we're exploring how thoughtful design makes room for the things that matter most. From a personal story about creating a home for entertaining to a remarkable Seattle pavilion inspired by an Argentinian tradition, we share two perspectives on how architecture brings people together—and why the best spaces are designed to be lived in. |
