I design for emotion. I believe design should evoke a visceral response from the heart & mind. It’s more than just a visual reference, it’s a language that speaks to our most human instincts.

Interior & exterior design by Jonathan Eppers. Captured by Juan Diego

Casa Desierto is one of those once in a life-time projects because of the location and landscape. I completely re-imagined the interior & exterior spaces. Converting what was a dated & tired Santa Fe style home with little character or personality into a timeless 1920’s inspired California Spanish Hacienda. I introduced arched-ways to create depth of space, designed a lighting system that is moody and inviting, and used natural materials like stone, ceramic and wood for warmth, texture and color.

Dining table with sconce hanging overhead.
I added a sconce to the entry of every bedroom. Not only does it add warm light to the hallway, but it invites you to step inside.
