Jeffrey Dungan: Natural Materials, Light & Timeless Simplicity
Where we might see a web of complexity, this seasoned architect’s lens yields elegant simplicity. And WONDER.
Seeing is everything. So is listening. He says if you listen closely enough to a site, the house will almost design itself.
Oh that all this modern noise rattling the construction site of my life might quiet so I may better hear what Dungan hears.

Scratch that.
There will forever be noise–let me become a better listener.
Interior Design: Beth Webb
To the sweet note vibrating on the air.
So I may hear and know what is mine to nurture and what is mine to let be.
So I may listen with discernment and compassion so others are comforted by the architecture of its loving shelter.
MILIEU – Interior Design: Robin Rains
Maybe what you are viewing here is a collection of interiors marked by impeccable architectural beauty.
I invite you to also allow the work to speak.
As meditative fine art…as holy whispers…as light gloriously penetrating the window grids of your soul.
“EVERYBODY NEEDS BEAUTY AS WELL AS BREAD, PLACES TO PLAY IN AND PRAY IN, WHERE NATURE MAY HEAL AND GIVE STRENGTH TO BODY AND SOUL” (John Muir).
Timeless Simplicity Inspiration & Aristry from Jeffrey Dungan
THE WORLD INSISTS THAT WE ARE WHAT WE DO AND ACHIEVE, BUT CONTEMPLATION INVITES US TO PRACTICE UNDER-DOING AND UNDER-ACHIEVING, REMINDING US OF THE SIMPLE GRACE AND HUMILITY OF BEING HUMAN. – Richard Rohr
“WHEN WE CONTEMPLATE THE WHOLE GLOBE AS ONE GREAT DEWDROP, STRIPED AND DOTTED WITH CONTINENTS AND ISLANDS, FLYING THROUGH SPACE WITH OTHER STARS ALL SINGING AND SHINING TOGETHER AS ONE, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE APPEARS AS AN INFINITE STORM OF BEAUTY” (John Muir).
SMILE, BREATHE, AND GO SLOWLY. – Thich Nhat Hahn
Timeless Kitchens by Jeffrey Dungan Architects
“WHEN WE TRY TO PICK OUT ANYTHING BY ITSELF, WE FIND IT HITCHED TO EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE” (John Muir).
BEAUTY APPEARS WHEN SOMETHING IS COMPLETELY AND ABSOLUTELY AND OPENLY ITSELF. -Deena Metzger
Jeffrey Dungan designed kitchen in Barbara Sallick’s’ THE PERFECT KITCHEN (below).
“THE POWER OF IMAGINATION MAKES US INFINITE” (John Muir).
WHEN WE HEAR THE WORD BEAUTY, WE INEVITABLY THINK THAT BEAUTY BELONGS IN A SPECIAL ELITE REALM WHERE ONLY THE EXTRAORDINARY DWELLS. YET WITHOUT REALIZING IT, EACH DAY EACH ONE OF US IS VISITED BY BEAUTY. WHEN YOU ACTUALLY LISTEN TO PEOPLE, IT IS SURPRISING HOW OFTEN BEAUTY IS MENTIONED. A WORLD WITHOUT BEAUTY WOULD BE UNBEARABLE. -John O’Donohue
“KEEP CLOSE TO NATURE’S HEART…AND BREAK CLEAR AWAY, ONCE IN AWHILE, AND CLIMB A MOUNTAIN OR SPEND A WEEK IN THE WOODS. WASH YOUR SPIRIT CLEAN” (John Muir).
Architecture & Light
THIS IS PART OF THE BEAUTY OF ALL LITERATURE. YOU DISCOVER THAT YOUR LONGINGS ARE UNIVERSAL LONGINGS, THAT YOU’RE NOT LONELY AND ISOLATED FROM ANYONE. YOU BELONG. – F. Scott Fitzgerald
“NATURE IS EVER AT WORK BUILDING AND PULLING DOWN, CREATING AND DESTROYING, KEEPING EVERYTHING WHIRLING AND FLOWING, ALLOWING NO REST BUT IN RHYTHMICAL MOTION, CHASING EVERYTHING IN ENDLESS SONG OUT OF ONE BEAUTIFUL FORM INTO ANOTHER” (John Muir).
