As an architectural designer I have always been inspired by
American vernacular and authenticity in design.
My approach to design has always been to reference the stories and influences that inform the way we desire to live. It is almost always a mix of upbringing, memories, passions— present and future. Most importantly, it is about interactions that open the door to living full, meaningful lives. This approach often produces the opportunity to blend styles, creating unique solutions that reference the surroundings while being an original expression of the client and designer. - Mike Melia, Principal Designer, Grove Road Design
