Long time readers of this newsletter may have wondered over the years, “Just what does Kathy mean by The Spirit in Design?” The answer is at once simple and complex. Simply, it’s an unspoken feeling conveyed by the space and what is contained within it. No doubt you have experienced it yourself. Think of the last time you walked into a room and immediately felt a reaction, a feeling, perhaps a sense of…something. You may have felt calm, uptight, or excited. Or, maybe you experienced an impression of warmth or of a chill, or a draft. Perhaps you sensed…what? Love? Anger? Something. That is The Spirit in Design.
