Design approach
Pamela Glazer begins her process with a visit to the client’s current home. She asks thoughtful questions about the client’s priorities and lifestyle. Discussing seemingly small details – be it having coffee in the morning or bringing in the groceries – is part of her perceptive and clever approach to defining solutions that highlight the power of great design to support comfort and ease. She offers skilled perceptions about the larger issues, such as outdoor entertaining or maintaining a home office, which have become so relevant.
Acutely aware of the landscape where the home will be situated, Ms. Glazer studies the terrain to develop the most thoughtful positioning of the home, one that incorporates the beauty and elemental features of the natural setting. With her research completed, Ms. Glazer and her team tailor a design that is in sync with how the client actually lives – and with their hopes and dreams for the future. She will also work to develop a sustainable home, one that will seamlessly save energy costs in the long run.
