Eve…

…the restful haven, Eve, is a successful collaboration between Nexus Design and Dimitty Andersen Architects. Inspiration for the project was drawn from the client’s love for art…Eve is calm and effortless while displaying strength for modern furniture and eclectic artwork…

…a library and fireplace…

…apples that have tempted…

…cozy, calm…restful…

tired

You are tired,

(I think)

Of the always puzzle of living and doing;

And so am I.

Come with me, then,

And we’ll leave it far and far away—

(Only you and I, understand!)

You have played,

(I think)

And broke the toys you were fondest of,

And are a little tired now;

Tired of things that break, and—

Just tired. So am I.

But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight,

And knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart—

Open to me!

For I will show you the places Nobody knows,

And, if you like,

The perfect places of Sleep.

Ah, come with me!

I’ll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon,

That floats forever and a day;

I’ll sing you the jacinth song

Of the probable stars;

I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream,

Until I find the Only Flower,

Which shall keep (I think) your little heart

While the moon comes out of the sea.

Urban Outfitters Headquarters

Housing more than 600 employees in Philadelphia’s historic Navy Yard, the Urban Outfitters Headquarters truly reflects its brand. Architect firm Meyer Scherer & Rockcastle was able to masterfully mix old and new, respecting the buildings’ rich history while updated and modernizing the space. A gritty mix of decay and history, along with a touch of exquisite decorative flourishes, embodies the company’s corporate identity and aesthetic…great vibe…

Focus is on residential and commercial commissions, involving new construction, interior renovation, additions, landscape, and museum installations…a Saturday sampling just for you. The Glebe Garden and Interior shed is really great…anyone choosing to build a shed in their yard should be required to install a structure like this…much more neighborly, yes?
