Organic
Statement of Intent
David's love for the outdoor activities and traveling indicated that the best concept for his interior would be organic. The space should feel active yet soothing and comfortable for any issues he may face with jet lag which would first require the space to feel open. The space should be inclusive yet private to best accommodate guests that would stay over.
The earthy colors and materials like wood and ceramics would mostly be responsible for conveying the organic feeling in the space while the few organic shapes would be the additional reinforcement of this concept. The planning would be responsible for making the space active yet private while the furniture would make the space feel comfortable and inclusive.
