At a glance

A bylined Houzz design feature, February 8, 2009.

Publication photography is shown in its original Houzz context.

The context

A consumer design feature on space-age decorating: the forms, references, and objects that bring a futuristic sensibility into a home.

My contribution

Written under my Audrey Mast byline for Houzz, pairing cultural context with an approachable editorial voice.

The approach

Connect recognizable design ideas to visual examples and give readers an enjoyable way into the subject.

A point of view, some design history, and room for a joke.
