Where Craft Meets Compassion: Designing Homes That Honor Land and Life
Great homes don’t come from playing it safe.
In this LUXURY Lounge conversation, architect Cathy Purple Cherry brings her refreshingly candid, occasionally provocative perspective on what it really means to design for the way people live. Interviewed by Sophie Donelson, Cathy challenges convention, questions tradition, and shares bold insights on creating homes that are deeply personal and unapologetically human.
Expect strong opinions, real talk, and a design philosophy rooted in craft, context, and clarity with no fluff and no formulas.
A reception and book signing celebrating the release of Cathy's book,The Design of a Country Estate, will follow.
