[edit] Focus
MAISON ORION is a multifaceted design studio based in Los Angeles, California. While primarily engaged in the design of buildings, our focus is rather on questions of life and what qualities make for a graceful and uplifting habitat for human beings. We explore architecture from its traditional roots – firmness, commodity and delight. Far from being traditional or nostalgic, we seek to engage in a dialogue with these fundamental and everlasting concerns. Our references and inspirations come from myriad sources, but a borrowed quote from the Slow Food Manifesto expresses the motivations that underpin all the work:
A firm defense of quiet material pleasure is the only way to oppose the universal folly of Fast Life.
MAISON ORION is a member of the Pine Ridge Area Chamber of Commerce, the Swedish-American Chamber Of Commerce of Greater Los Angeles, an adopter of The Designers Accord and a participant in The 1% program. Scott M B Gustafson is the principal of MAISON ORION. He is a member of his local public radio station and his favorite color is orange.
