TUDOR ME BLUE

Pattern of Life case study

PHASE 1: INSPIRATION

This young family loves their historic “lakes“ neighborhood nestled on the edge of a vibrant urban center. And they loved their early-century tudor, but it needed to adapt to a more modern lifestyle. They get wistful about the family chef’s commitment to cuisine, about bright colors and about wandering the neighborhood with the dog.

PHASE 2: DESIGN

A lot of the initial creative energy came from the family’s focus on gathering for mealtime and the natural patterns that had established themselves: groceries arrived through the mudroom, to the kitchen counter, distributed to cupboards & refrigerator, angled to the stove, etc.

We laid out a “kitchen triangle“ to reinforce their familiar patterns, and more patterns for other areas grew from there.
