Roux MacNeill Studio

Happy Birthday, Rob! 🎂 In honor of the occasion, here are three things we love about our favorite architect-designer-human:

• His appreciation for both the finest and the humblest things in life. Oysters? Yes. A McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish? Also yes.

• His wonderfully eclectic interests. Rob’s collections, curiosities, and ever-growing art obsession keep life (and our projects) endlessly interesting.

• His incredible talent. From architectural details and space planning to problem-solving and project vision, there’s no one we’d rather have on our team.

Cheers to another year of creativity, curiosity, and great design. Happy Birthday, Rob! 🥳

Of all the things that go into a home—the finishes, the furniture, the lighting, and beyond—none of it holds a candle to her. Happy Mother’s Day to the ones who make it feel like somewhere worth coming back to.

Good design doesn’t stop at the door. 🌿 With Earth Day approaching tomorrow, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the spaces that make you actually want to be outside — where the landscape is just as considered as every detail within the home itself.
