About PATRICIAN DESIGN

The fun and adventure of creating interior spaces has always been a passion for Patti Harrell Hoech. Prior to pursuing a formal education resulting in a B.A. from Mount Vernon College in 1977 majoring in Visual Arts and a FIDER Accredited Interior Design degree, she knew that improving the function and enhancing the appearance and comfort of interior spaces was her calling.

Growing up in Metropolitan Washington D.C. with exposure to the traditional and historical decorative arts that embody the area’s architecture and interiors gave Harrell Hoech a well grounded base for the study of her field. Her understanding and appreciation for the evolution of Interior Design through its many periods and more recent modern and contemporary movements are reflected in the smart contributions Harrell Hoech brings to each project.

Whether commercial or residential, context, color, texture and scale are massaged in each project to present a well balanced finished product. Extracting the desires of her clients and distilling their concepts paired with her ideas is a team effort. Harrell Hoech works with other design consultants, professional architects and developers to balance design concepts with a responsible and practical sensitivity to the individual priorities for each project. This aids in the planning and selection process to ensure that her projects stay within budget.

From an hour’s color consultation to an afternoon of rearranging a space to a master plan from scratch, Harrell Hoech’s creativity and inventive solutions are sure to solve quandaries, diminish dilemmas and make the process a lot more fun!
