Michael Merrill Design Studio creates beautifully pared-down environments that are deceptive in their simplicity. Our work is as much about what is left out as what is included. This approach requires that each design element be carefully chosen and meticulously executed. The resulting space should convey a feeling of warmth, comfort and well-being.
Michael Merrill, ASID, NKBA, IIDA has specialized in the renovation and design of residences throughout the United States since 1975.
