Millett Design




 

"Caroline would gently and subtly give directions to the people and world in which she found herself.  There would always be an immediate response – Eureka! – from the people she was meeting.  They had found at last, a voice for themselves.  Through her direction, they would be able to reinterpret themselves in their environments."

  • Logan Circle, Washington D.C.

  • The Cloisters, Powelton Village, Philadelphia, PA
    Originally The Cloisters, now a 165 unit condominium and park, was a grand Catholic Church, school and rectory covering almost an entire block in the Powelton Village historic district. Millett bought the property in 1987, and preserved its historic integrity throughout the renovation.
