MY PERSONAL DREAM HOUSE WOULD BE...
A maintenance-free, simple, elegant, light-filled box.
WHO OR WHAT HAS INFLUENCED
MY STYLE...
Mid-20th-century American architects and decorators; minimalist design from
the ’60s and ’70s.
THREE ESSENTIALS FOR ENTERTAINING ARE...
Great food, lots of candles and, in winter, a fireplace.
IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE (OTHER THAN WHERE I AM), IT
WOULD BE...
The American Southwest.
Craig Wright
WHEN I BEGIN WITH A NEW CLIENT, I ALWAYS...
First assess the architectural background within which we will be working.
Then I review photographs of the interiors with the client to see how I can best
interpret their goals.
THE MISTAKE MOST PEOPLE MAKE WHEN DOING THEIR OWN
DESIGNING IS...
A lack of consistent or focused direction.
THE MOST UNUSUAL REQUEST FROM A CLIENT WAS...
There have been several: To have the openings in the hedges cut wide
enough to accommodate Denise Hale's ball gowns.
To have the niches in the showers tall enough to hold a champagne bottle. To air-
condition the doghouse. To install permanent outdoor heaters to allow for
subtropical plants in a cold climate. To stop a furniture delivery truck halfway
from New York to California and put the contents on a plane to arrive in time for an
important dinner party.
FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS
A BIG LOOK ON A SMALL BUDGET
TODAY...
I recommend Asian antiques and accessories.
ONE OF THE BEST THINGS RIGHT NOW TO COLLECT FOR AN
INVESTMENT IS...
Fine 18th-century French furniture.
