Starting from scratch, prod-uct
prototype manufacturer
Peter Lamporte cultured a clean,
cohesive, monolithic aesthetic for
his family’s Shinn Creek home, a
peaceful sanctuary for their high
vibe, surf’s up lifestyle.
Peter says his business takes him
all over the country, primarily out
west. There he meets with product
designers at Tesla, Apple, Google
and other Silicon Valley types, to
develop what he labels, “the onesies,
twosies” that bigwigs flash before
launching a new line.
“The product design firms, simi-lar
to architectural firms, border on
stark yet peaceful,” he says. “Their
decor, their office space is very
different than here on the East
Coast. Using real materials, using
industrial materials, the clean
aesthetic, metals, clean, vibrant
lighting … to me it’s like art. That
really was the impetus. It was in
my mind but I didn’t know how it
would flow.”
Kind of ironic coming from the
dude who, when he’s not jetting
coast-to-coast, is 100 percent in
flow, in the water on a board. The
horizon line of the surf on a gray
day was the linear through line
he manifested in his new house.
He hired a draftsman to draw the
plans and interviewed interior
designers until he met Daryl
Rosenbaum of Design Results.
“He was so creative,” Daryl
says. “Some creative people have
to consider all of the variables and
then go back to the beginning.”
A prototype entrepreneur
designed his Shinn Creek home,
and with advice from interior
designer Daryl Rosenbaum of
Design Results, appointed the
family kitchen with Douglas fir
and stainless steel cabinets.
