Like a system of octaves, good design should both elevate and ground- all at once marrying consciousness and comfort with flight and fancy; experience with encounter. This philosophy of paradox and eternity creates a freedom of aesthetic that suits their clients individual needs. Founded in 2003, Octave Studio creates atmospheres known for their intuitive reflection of the client, reverence for the inherent beauty of the existing architecture, and the natural surroundings of the home. With both art and design, each space has the freedom and movement of the passionately eclectic, incorporating many custom pieces that are created to embellish the uniqueness of each space. Octave Studio is proud to include in their client base both heads of state and heads of household, academy award winners and agents of change, olympians and eccentrics.
