the great room, anchored by a
massive stone fireplace, is accented
with Eicher chandeliers
(woodlandfurniture.com) to
brighten the space. cozy groupings
of Woodland seating was
incorporated, including a sofa
cloaked in camel-toned chenille by
christopher Michael upholstery.
At the root, though, the end result must always
make sense. “It’s not uncommon for us to do multiple
residences for a single client,” she says. “So, each
needs to be very different from the next.”
Such was the case with a recent endeavor in Punta
Mita, Mexico. The project was for a client with an
existing Harker-designed home in Jackson Hole.
The complex, centered around a stone structure
with a palapa roof and stone floors, has a contemporary
zebrawood and primavera mahogany kitchen
and bedrooms with artisan-crafted, brick herringbone
domed ceiling. In the end, Harker ensured
there were touches that felt both old and new.
“The back of the house faces the ocean, so we had to
be mindful of the intense sun,” she adds, noting that
they used lasting materials—including fabrics from
Holly Hunt and GLANT .

in the kitchen, a custom, carved
French oak island from Woodland
(woodlandfurniture.com), is
outfitted with a pull-out garbage;
dramatic cabinetry with a collected
feel; and honed granite
countertops.
“We also incorporated clean-lined, contemporary furnishings
and details of local craftsmanship throughout,”
she says.
It’s not just their decorative approach that’s built
Harker Design’s reputation; it’s also the fact that its
projects deliver on a promise.
“We present full proposals of the entire project, complete
with prices so there are no financial surprises,”
Harker says. “We also do what we say we will, within
the time frame we commit to.”
Adding further appeal, Harker notes that Harker
Design’s projects always feel “finished” when they’re
done. That means all the little details—be it antique
pots that are turned into lamps, timeless accessories,
trims or pillows— are complete.
“As a result, the projects are better for it,” Harker says.
