Principal / Owner Jamie Slagel’s design approach is all about the pivot points: moments where the experience of a space shifts and becomes surprising. In her architectural practice, this manifests in quiet details felt by the touch of a hand, and in more dramatic moments with the power to influence one’s perception of space.
Good design is attainable at any scale – it can exist at the intersection between nature and the built environment, and it can exist in a single detail, a single moment.
