Philosophy
My primary goal in design is to facilitate the creation of interior spaces that are both unique in the details and are a reflection of my client’s vision. I enjoy working closely with my clients to better understand their specific personalities, their likes and dislikes, and their daily relationship with their home. I begin every project by outlining the overall project objectives, timeline and budgetary concerns.
Every home I design, whether an urban townhouse or apartment, warehouse loft space or mountaintop retreat has inherently unique qualities, needs, and details. It is my commitment, as a designer, to respect and enhance these unique features by providing the perfect balance of color, texture, fabric, artwork, fixtures, furnishings and antiques.
Giving Back
A humanitarian, as well as a designer, Robert Holgate is dedicated to critical social issues. With his hands-on approach to philanthropy and social justice, he supports the advancement of local and national social causes with financial donations and design services.
“Working with Robert to redo 3 rooms in my apartment was an absolute joy. He not only paid attention to the design elements so that we ended up with a spectacular look, but he also paid a lot of attention to our life style needs, so that we ended up with rooms that really work well for the way we use them. [..] Most important, he is a wonderful, kind and sensitive person - and a pleasure to know.
He will be my ‘forever’ designer, for sure.”
