STICKLEY HOUSE Vintage Design for the Modern Rustic Home
GPIDC has designed residential projects that are steeped in the Beidermeier style of mid 19th century Vienna, the warmth and highly-decorative arts of late 19th - early 20th century English Arts & Crafts, as well as the sleeker modern and contemporary aesthetics of the 20th and 21st century. We have created rooms that are informed by the English Country style, French neo-classicism, and Bauhaus Modernism. While no project has been a historical recreation, using history as a reference gives our projects authenticity and keeps them from appearing dated. That in turn, creates value for our clients.
