“When designing a home, I imagine myself living in each space. I consider where I would most want to work, hang out with the kids or just relax and unwind. The family room, kitchen and den are designed for interaction and ease of communal living, whereas the master bedroom and bathroom are places of self-indulgence and sanctuary.”
Each project Maria Greenshields-Ziman designs is imbued with its own character and personality. Drawing from her training as a sculptor and artist, her design work places primary importance on the simplicity of form within the spaces we inhabit. She seamlessly blends her light-filled, warm and richly textured aesthetic with the flexibility, functionality and durability essential to modern day living. Each element is selected with the intention of enhancing and facilitating a particular room’s objective.
Maria’s creative process is a collaborative effort involving the project’s architect, builder, and artisan, from which she creates a clear, unified vision and design direction for every detail of construction.
To date, she has developed and designed close to two dozen timeless yet contemporary residential and commercial properties between Venice and Downtown Los Angeles.
