Comfort is part of the design. In the heat of Phoenix, every element at Skye on 6th was thoughtfully chosen to offer a welcome sense of retreat. From plush seating to layered textures, the spaces feel as inviting as they are beautiful.

In honor of National Wellness Month, we’re celebrating some of the things that help our team feel their best, both in and outside of the studio. Scroll through for a peek at the wellness activities that bring joy, energy, and a little balance to our lives.



There is something magical about watering the garden at sunset, when each drop of water glows in the fading light and the world seems to pause for just a moment. That quiet ritual reminds me to be present, appreciate life’s simple beauty, and approach each new day with renewed creativity, inspiration, and a sense of gratitude.
— Agnieszka Baca Hesser

Basketball is like a fountain of energy for me, a source from which I draw goodness and joy. — Jiahao Li

Sometimes, a fresh perspective is exactly what we need, even if it means turning upside down and seeing the world from a different angle. My yoga practice stretches me, both literally and figuratively! On the mat and in life, I value being coached, exploring unexpected transitions, and learning to trust my strengths while working through my challenges. I’m still learning with every shift in perspective. — Jaclyn Sommers

The Equine Experience at Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa left a lasting impression on me. Horses naturally respond to authenticity, energy, and intention, and the experience encouraged me to slow down, be fully present, and appreciate the value of trust and nonverbal communication. It’s a lesson that continues to shape my leadership style, my design philosophy, and the way I approach everyday life. — Archit Sawhney

I took a 2-year break from and just re-started a 5-week program back on the bike. It’s a great reminder that it’s never too late to start again, and that with consistency, results will come. This is true with wellness and with work! — Darcy Dorden + Darcy Clark

Being outside in the sunshine is one of my favorite ways to refuel and rest. There’s so much beauty in nature, and I love how inspiration can be found everywhere you turn when you take the time to notice it. — Emily Benseler

Golf is a great escape. It’s a game that forces me to block out the day-to-day and truly focus on what’

Our first multifamily project, completed in 2019, Wicker Park Connection marked an exciting milestone for Harken Interiors. Good design isn’t about matching every finish—it’s about creating balance. Here, layered wood tones add warmth, depth, and character, proving that thoughtfully composed contrasts often create richer, more dynamic spaces than a single-species palette.
