Jay Deguchi featured in Seattle’s Daily Journal of Commerce
Jay Deguchi featured in Seattle’s Daily Journal of Commerce in the article entitled “Architects explore new markets with hardware, lighting, furniture.”
Published on June 20, 2016, Sam Bennett writes: “For Jay Deguchi, good design is all about noise reduction. To eliminate what he calls visual noise, Deguchi strives for designs in which all the components work in harmony. “If architecture is fairly quiet, it achieves a character of place,” said Deguchi, a principal with Seattle’s Suyama Peterson Deguchi. “When an object within a home screams louder than the architecture, then sometimes it isn’t compatible and the design doesn’t work well together.” We try to cohesively fit everything together. This visual choreography is a balancing act between architecture and fixtures — from floor lamps to fireplace tool sets and even coasters. “We design items that are an aesthetic match with the homes we design,” said Deguchi. “It’s the small pieces that come together in a residence or even a commercial project that seamlessly work to create an overall character that makes a space feel good in a certain way.””
