In 2005, he was honored by Architectural Digest US with the distinction "Dean of American Design". Based in Washington, D.C. he continues to work on residential and commercial projects throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. We listen to Thomas Pheasant’s story as he went from being an architect to doing both architecture and interior design and how he finds his inspiration in developing his unique style that you can find in The New Collection for example. How Thomas got started 3:01 Interior architecture 11:17 Blair House 14:07 About the New Collection 24:07 His process 36:00 His time in Paris 41:18 How he defines luxury 52:26 “Try to find your voice as soon as you can. There are a lot of creative people who do really well. They’ll do anything, they can do modern, they’ll do art deco, they’ll do Williamsburg, or whatever and they make a lot of money. You can be successful, but I think if you wanna have a career and have that personal power inside yourself, that energy, you gotta find your voice and allow the people who recognize it come to you and they will propel you.” 21:12 https://www.thomaspheasant.com/ @thomaspheasant https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/ https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/ https://alicelanehome.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHome https://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/ https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecity News Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5 Learn more about your ad choices.
