This is where a stager/ designer needs to balance the two.<br /><br /><br />Please view the below techniques:<div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpxazq5wDlKnPMsvlUMATPzLRusIC0i78cgHMc501BxGnpdsKiJDu9cu33ErkKat8KqaUbdL8RKVIxEqQt0ABsqyjZZNVfML1PewLzUQk4GXMwK-WTvX9kAJJi89zV6HLrFL6QItgrGvYf/s1600/staging+8.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 360px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpxazq5wDlKnPMsvlUMATPzLRusIC0i78cgHMc501BxGnpdsKiJDu9cu33ErkKat8KqaUbdL8RKVIxEqQt0ABsqyjZZNVfML1PewLzUQk4GXMwK-WTvX9kAJJi89zV6HLrFL6QItgrGvYf/s400/staging+8.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662407562015254850" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" >Traditional</span>: Keeping in touch with the exterior architecture of the house, the client's sofas mixed with modern accent pieces compliment each other.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFYFi7DJb34lMdWwFzXd0OVmcNxh58tph1T0s2pAy9A_37YQJK_WbfnlWcc0Q8-1XbBTDLMRpOLhI6GRO9UYm2g3qCse5y45OmqmMOxR7-InN6iqjRi-Q5fVATy5O41QHby621pGoJ8ZtP/s1600/staging+10.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 316px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFYFi7DJb34lMdWwFzXd0OVmcNxh58tph1T0s2pAy9A_37YQJK_WbfnlWcc0Q8-1XbBTDLMRpOLhI6GRO9UYm2g3qCse5y45OmqmMOxR7-InN6iqjRi-Q5fVATy5O41QHby621pGoJ8ZtP/s400/staging+10.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662406805434498338" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" >Contemporary</span>: Always works and can never go wrong!

I like! What I have pasted below is from the website regarding the info on the plan:<br /><br /><em>"Architect Dean Nota gave an austere stucco façade to the Venice, California, livework space he built for Architectural Digest contributing photographer Erhard Pfeiffer, disguising the warmth of the airy, loft-style interior and protecting it from the noise of a high-traffic intersection. Above: He removed an old garage to maximize use of the irregular site, shown in the plan. (October 2008)"<br /></em><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQnRhyahtXxhO66orjgCobu5TZSVE88mwUe9kgOXJ-fjHSI33ENQzZ2nVeYtHDxQSI-8t2eefFe2mJbU3urcq22bssSw-R7H_j7POZ2TT1jcVbr2IaQ9Ze6IxcP_kxBP7LY9bP4mRyzXB/s1600/05_floor_plansAD.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 332px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542488159297763650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQnRhyahtXxhO66orjgCobu5TZSVE88mwUe9kgOXJ-fjHSI33ENQzZ2nVeYtHDxQSI-8t2eefFe2mJbU3urcq22bssSw-R7H_j7POZ2TT1jcVbr2IaQ9Ze6IxcP_kxBP7LY9bP4mRyzXB/s400/05_floor_plansAD.jpg" /></a> I like the design of this space because the architects thought about designing from the inside out! I really appreciate the large dining room with 2 tables, great for entertaining and dinner parties. From A&D:<br /><br /><em>"A New York couple hired Shelton, Mindel & Associates to renovate their Central Park West apartment. As they did throughout the 8,500-square-foot residence, the architects opened up the living room to more light and better views. The floor plan, includes the architects’ furniture placements. The 100-foot-long window wall is at the top of the drawing. (April 2008)"<br /><br /></em><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz2IV17largJtkxuElCiwlX3jBIFpLJKTrn-B7sTEv8eRjCRHTPveX14npa9qEUiLIFbiL947ePfsAa0tPOgVOlsQceYwpAnAZGJeTBYf8S4XpDHzsMyLTqwhqIsO2vKvMqg2AQ7oU02Hd/s1600/04_floor_plans.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 332px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542488484104562834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz2IV17largJtkxuElCiwlX3jBIFpLJKTrn-B7sTEv8eRjCRHTPveX14npa9qEUiLIFbiL947ePfsAa0tPOgVOlsQceYwpAnAZGJeTBYf8S4XpDHzsMyLTqwhqIsO2vKvMqg2AQ7oU02Hd/s400/04_floor_plans.jpg" /></a> My favourite part about this plan is the site plan and landscaping. I love all the foliage and greenery and am always a fan of stucco! My only thing is the plan is quite small only accommodating 2 bedrooms :s. From A&D:<br /><br /><em>"Scott Allen, of Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen, took a residence in Port Ludlow, Washington, down to its studs and reimagined it. Of the now double-height entrance, Allen says, “The point of the aperture is to feel as little interruption as possible going from outdoors to indoors,” an idea found throughout the house. Above: The first-floor plan. “Most of our energy was spent reconfiguring the spaces that would become the entrance and the great room,” says the architect.

I had the opportunity to work with <a href="http://www.quadrangle.ca/">Quadrangle Architects</a> and <a href="http://www.teknion.com/">Teknion Furniture Systems</a> job shadowing the 2nd floor renovations. With that said, modular seating was of great interest to me because of the hided compartments, casters, and arrangements- to name a few.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Presenting: FreeFlow</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-S-yoq6vR6VnLVDmfM5nlZruaqo1DLPYbVKqAv1tv-jvOz5AOkBtEr2ZlJ4KH8uPdwO7c4LVQrRwSa-5RXgZ1u6TklRF_tNIck9mAZ9NmlmKmWTWhRqy_ug6JVSdzdIX99-c90oEKxDs7/s1600/free+flow.jpeg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 254px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540335904940290114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-S-yoq6vR6VnLVDmfM5nlZruaqo1DLPYbVKqAv1tv-jvOz5AOkBtEr2ZlJ4KH8uPdwO7c4LVQrRwSa-5RXgZ1u6TklRF_tNIck9mAZ9NmlmKmWTWhRqy_ug6JVSdzdIX99-c90oEKxDs7/s400/free+flow.jpeg" /></a><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Designer</span>: Gordon Guillaumier for <a href="http://www.moroso.it/home_moroso.php?n=products&model=199&l=en">Moroso</a><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Construction</span>: Hardwood frame with polyester fiberfill covering.

In 1085 King Alfonso of Aragon and Navarre captured the city of Toledo from the Moors and began a long struggle to push them out of Spain. In 1492 the kingdom of Granada (the last one) of the Moors fell to the Christians, where foreign influence came from 2 Royal Families: the Hapsburgs from Austria who ruled from 1516-1700 and Bourbons from France who ruled from 1700-20th century.<br /><br />*GEOGRAPHY & INFLUENCE: Spain and Portugal both culturally influenced this period. Portugal freed herself from the Moorish control in 1140, 3 1/2 centuries before Spain. Portugal's contacts abroad included India and China, whereas Spain's were largely in the Netherlands and America. The Moorish influence is thus less strong in Portugal than in Spain, while the Eastern influence is far stronger in Portugal. Officially Spain was unified for centuries under a single king's rule, but politically it long remained a collection of small states within the winkles of its topography.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmo2iInjI10CXw-72_PcaSedLGWZ027_SRcVd2MzmM4bEaxKi0MbE7TzOdVG54l5XJHsNcfkNhe6wy9qT4g5C9VSRw2fQ2zvWS0GPl4bThVDXlowhTEi8aHZ4HxFipY7dY1k17IgR726ay/s1600/map.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 346px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506504113868032498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmo2iInjI10CXw-72_PcaSedLGWZ027_SRcVd2MzmM4bEaxKi0MbE7TzOdVG54l5XJHsNcfkNhe6wy9qT4g5C9VSRw2fQ2zvWS0GPl4bThVDXlowhTEi8aHZ4HxFipY7dY1k17IgR726ay/s400/map.jpg" /></a> <em>Map of Moorish period, North ^<br /></em><br /><br />*RELIGION: The 2 main religions were <span style="COLOR: rgb(102,51,255)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0)">Islam</span> </span>and <span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">Christianity</span> who experienced violent struggles between each other.

Renaissance Style: Platerseco</strong> <strong>(1500-1556)</strong><br /><br /></em>Spain and Portugal were powerful influences on design and with Queen Isabella I ruling, she was an inspiration for a certain decor style. The development of covering wide surfaces with rich, small scale ornamentation was in demand. This taste came from 2 origins: the myriad details of Moorish decor and the wealth of exotic goods (Isabella funded) from foreign countries like America that Columbus sought out. We will see an influence of Gothic arches, architectural features from Arabia and India, and marine ornaments from Portugal's seafaring destiny.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyZ3I2p_rhD3hPbZ7Wax1_q8KRWKHLaxQuJJqrfSzMJvlDGoDszVYiisQV7X_o0bopQmHGwBrDp5S6nY6laX-ZMlL2ZIikDus5VZpjYHQc6sdjLEEemUS6Axf_Tuy29OFGkG3cNk_XMabD/s1600/plateresco.jpg"><em><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 306px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509950147261832850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyZ3I2p_rhD3hPbZ7Wax1_q8KRWKHLaxQuJJqrfSzMJvlDGoDszVYiisQV7X_o0bopQmHGwBrDp5S6nY6laX-ZMlL2ZIikDus5VZpjYHQc6sdjLEEemUS6Axf_Tuy29OFGkG3cNk_XMabD/s400/plateresco.jpg" /></em></a><em> Sacristy doors and adjacent pilasters in an anteroom of the chapter house of the Cathedral of Toledo.

Renaissance Style: Desornamentado</strong><br /><br /></em>The meaning of this style "ornamented" unlike Plateresco that was over the top. Desornamentado was a powerful style that was characterized by austerity. The style was limited to court, ecclesiastical (churches, etc.), and public buildings. It was never considered fully suitable for domestic use. Plain surfaces appeared with refined proportions. *NOTE: There are not too many examples of this design that is opposite of its preceding, Plateresco.<br /><br />* A monument of this era is the El Escorial, built by Hapsburg ruler Philip II.
