At
age eight, Marcia K's creative mind in the field of art
was already exploring. With New York City as her canvas,
the young artisan began painting and designing. Not satisfied
with just a traditional art education, she sought out and
studied under Italian Master Toto Tamburino for many years.
Later, she continued her quest at the Interior and Architectural
Design School of the University of Pennsylvania.
For
the past 30 years, Marcia K has had the pleasure of working
for many people in NY and Florida. This has culminated in
the most creative work of her career…the designing
and renovations she has done in the prestigious homes of
South Florida. From North Miami to Palm Beach, her designs
have transformed homes into one of a kind living environments.
Ms. K's artistry is known and in demand, in both America
and Europe, where she has traveled to study her craft.
"I
was given a wonderful gift and unusual talent for not only
visually imaging a room immediately, but for developing
the most unique ideas that will delight your emotional happiness.
Thank you for the privilege of showing you some of my work
and I hope to meet with you for conversation and consultation."

What
type of client works best with you?
"
Where there is a meeting of the minds, the results are magical.
When people meet me, they feel my sincerity and my love
of my craft. When we have an immediate rapport, that is
the ultimate relationship."
You
have many International clients. What types of designing
have you done for them?
"One
German client, while in Berlin, called to consult with me
to place marble floors throughout the entire apartment,
and reconstruct his bathrooms. After meeting and seeing
my architectural plans, he hired me to do his whole apartment,
including raising ceilings, installing modern controlled
lighting and audio systems, the marble flooring, and selecting
furniture. He didn't return to see the renovation until
it was complete, and was thrilled with the results."

Who
was your most unusual client?
"During my NY
career, I was introduced to an Indian Raja, who resided
in Hong Kong. He mailed me architectural plans for the mega-mansion
he was planning to build. He then flew to New York to consult
with me about the designing, and to purchase unusual elements
for this home. I created a marble and stone floor that resembled
a curving Hollywood style dance floor. It swept you from
the house to the pool, which featured lighted glass figures
around its perimeter. Another unique plan of the four story
residence was that it was designed with ramps instead of
steps. I selected the modern lighting system in the LR and
DR, that was constructed in various levels of design, and
were timed to go on at all different intervals. This
home was so innovative that my clients today are still amazed
at the intricacy of the plans."
How
do you visualize the new concept for a home?
"Not too many people can immediately enter
a room, and visualize many new ideas that are not necessarily
in the scope of a person's imagination…. I do not just
arrange furniture, and pictures on the wall. I create a
stylistic environment, so that when people enter your home,
they say that they have never seen anything like this before."
