Morrissey Saypol Interiors, Kitchen

As part of an ongoing series, we would like to tip our hats to other professionals who make us look good.  The line is often blurred between the work of architects and interior designers.  The way we design homes, at Crisp Architects, is collaborative within the office as well as collaborative with our clients and other professionals.  Our motto is “a good idea is a good idea, no matter where it comes from”.

Our best projects often include interior designers, as well as landscape architects, and sometimes theater consultants, lighting designers, and sound engineers.  As with everything in life, advice from talented professionals can make the difference between a good project and a great one.  To that point, here are a few of our favorite interior designers and projects we were lucky enough to collaborate on.
