The mastermind behind the brash decor at Apartment 50 turns our eyes toward Jean-Marc Drut which is now inhabited by German designer Konstantin Grcic. His approach is quite fitting as tenants from the past filled the Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse complex in Marseille, France with other artists and writers that created their own radical touches on this space. This time, industrial artifacts make their way into furnishings and rich colors revitalize the aging structure.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
