3 CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE We are committed to elevating the quality of our clients lives through the design of their most personal spaces. When creating a residence, every design decision must speak to the client s personality and form part of a cohesive, elegant whole. Gary Lee Partners achieves this by developing a strong, attentive relationship with each client and incorporating their feedback throughout the creative process. From conceptualizing the overall space to specifying the smallest details, our designers draw on our clients interests, ambitions and quirks to make the home an indelible part of their life stories. Our firm has the experience and resources to fully realize any client s vision. We have had the pleasure of working across the complete range of the residential spectrum, from updating stately manors to designing spaces for new high-rises. Each team and approach is tailored to best translate the client s vision in the physical environment. By leveraging our established relationships with bestin-class craftsmen, suppliers, and vendors, we can assure our clients that our design team will deliver exceptional service and results throughout every step of the design process. In this book we have assembled a collection of projects and profiles that illustrate our work, and provide insight into our people and process. GARY LEE PARTNERS P. 7
