San Diego’s chapter of American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) showcased unique home designs in July with the first-ever Interior Experience Tour. On July 24, in the midst of Comic-Con, high-end residences created by designers were exposed to locals throughout the city. “The idea of having the design but also showing the lifestyle and culture, and how well they tie in together” was a success, said ASID board member Robin Wilson Carrier. Carrier worked on The Met, a modern entertaining space atop the Omni Hotel that featured fashion designer Laura Gambucci at the pool deck and artist Elizabeth Washburn in the loft that overlooks Petco Park. “I had a steady flow of tourgoers all day and was pleased to share this space and my knowledge with them,” said Park Laurel project designer and La Jolla ASID Design Excellence Award winner Kellie McCormick. The nearly 6,000-square-foot condominium overlooking Balboa Park featured a neutral palette ideal for previewing the owner’s large art collection. CEO of Garden Fresh Restaurant Corp./Souplantation Michael Mack opened his City Front Terrace residence, a minimalist two-bedroom unit that exposed the original brick and wood beams from its days as a silk factory. Designs were submitted blindly to the ASID review committee and were chosen for their fusion of design and culture. “It was exciting to have the elements really relate to the interiors,” Carrier said. Local designers included Bast/Wright Interiors, Marrokal, Studio One Inc. Interior Design, Brion Design and Robin Wilson Interior Design.
