• Practical Creativity: Rothblatt’s experience as a contractor ensures that creative designs—ranging from “Steampunk” bathrooms to sleek modern row houses—are buildable and functionally sound.

• Art-Centric Spaces: A focus on how architecture interacts with art, often designing rooms to complement specific collections or using “negative space” to highlight focal points like a kitchen hearth.
