Patricia’s view of Mid Century design and lifestyle is summed up by this quote by architect William Krisel, “Mid Century Modernism is not a style, it’s a language. It stays the same whether it’s spoken in 1955 or 2005. It’s a language that will always be spoken.” Patricia and her husband, Scott, owned a Herman Miller commercial furniture dealership in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than 20 years. The dealership introduced them to the world of mid century design and it was love at first sight. Patricia was also a public relations and marketing executive in Silicon Valley and in Los Angeles for more than ten years. She currently is co-owner with her husband of a commercial photography business in San Francisco.

Nature, history and mid century modern design intertwine on a storied North Carolina property that rises 230 feet up from the road. On old maps, the property is historically known “Stillhouse Bluff.” Decades ago, moonshiners flocked to it because of its native hickory trees. Hickory logs burn very hot and long and with little smoke, so they could remain incognito from the long arm of the law. Legend is woven over the land and people say the mountain is still haunted by the moonshiners.⁠
