INTERIOR DESIGN

by Jennifer Prugh Visosky

Clients Come to you for… A sophisticated sense of scale and proportion, as well as my many years of experience coordinating all aspects of design, from conceptual drawings to construction and selection of furnishings and accessories. My vast knowledge and approachable personality keep clients coming back and referring their friends.

your design philosophy is… The packaging and presentation of a space is what evolves into a sense of home. I like to view a project in its entirety while simultaneously paying attention to all the small details that complete a space. It’s also critical to establish goals at the beginning of a project and see to it that they are carried out.

the most inspiring thing you’ve seen lately is… Colorado residents coming together to support each other during this difficult year. It inspires us to be better people and to help out our neighbors.

To learn more about Genesee Fireplace company, visit geneseefireplace.com.

your personal style is most influenCed by… Southern style and tranquil simplicity. I love combining light colors, warm woods, metals and old architectural accents and, of course, large arrangements of fresh hydrangeas. When I’m working in the mountains, I give some of these elements a twist so they blend with the mountain grandeur everyone comes here for.

WESTERN SPIRIT

Set in the Striking landScape of Steamboat SpringS, colorado, the Wild Goose Ranch is an authentic interpretation of Western tradition infused with modern-day amenities. With a nod to ranch homes of a bygone era, the residence comprises three buildings connected by light-drenched enclosed walkways. Renewable energy sources and energy-efficient design elements are in place throughout the project. Agricultural ponds dot the property, referencing its history, while nearby, a timber-frame barn hosts a variety of community events sponsored by the civic-minded homeowners. Kelly & Stone Architects created the original master plan for this energy-efficient showpiece, as well as the design for the main residence and barn. A member of the United States Green Building Council, the award-winning firm is dedicated to incorporating sustainable building solutions into their residential and commercial projects. Stunning examples of their work can be seen throughout the mountain west.Visit www.ksaarch.com or call 970.875.0590

“Spending money on and attempting to track marketing efforts for a small design business is a very nebulous prospect. But i have to say that the good pRoJect leads we have received through advertising in Mountain Living and the press they have brought to us have been incredibly valuable. very often, when i ask a potential client where they heard about us, they say, “We saw your beautiful ad in Mountain Living.” What else do i need to say? this magazine is in the hands of the people we want to reach.”
