The bones are brick, glass, wood and stainless. International patterns were our inspiration. We conveyed an invitation to relax regardless of who you are. Not only do worlds collide here but so do the masculine and feminine. The structured sofa is softened by plush velvet. Massive windows are framed by cascading linen drapes with grommets and tassels. The moody black chandelier hovers above the sculpted table. The Moroccan lounge area is ensconced in leather, layered light, lavish pillows an elaborate inlaid table and a baroque mirror.

No need to travel when home is such a universal display of comfort and great taste.

After leaving the spa the bedroom is a place of respite and revival.  Upholstered bed, custom bedding, wavy tactile carpet, dreamy lighting and a blend of hand picked furniture pieces make this bedroom a relaxing getaway.

In addition, hand-made metal railings replaced out of date wooden spindles, rich wood floors were revealed and the remodel continued to the main level where the office, dining room, kitchen nook and living room were transformed as well.

In the living room, the fireplace was completely modernized with a new component, tile and a cantilevered mantel.  Before it was “Oak Express” and not a pretty site.  Bookcases were backed with Romo wallpaper, glass shelves and lights were added, the frames were painted a warm orange and a custom cushions finished off the bench.  Rugs and rich upholstery maximize the color scheme with just the right amount of pattern.

The new kitchen nook makes you feel as though you are in your favorite restaurant every day of the week.  The banquette was custom fabricated especially to fit the space as well as the table frame and top.  Fabrics on the banquettes upholstery and window treatments play nicely off each other.

Segue into the dining room where wainscoting added formality and allowed the rich paint color to add the perfect amount of drama.  Simple, elegant lighting adjusts for all levels of lighting and accentuates the art selected by the homeowner.  The chair and window fabrics and the rug give the room softness and bring the simple furnishings to a new level.

The powder room was perhaps the most fun.  Asian fusion meets modernity.  Floating cabinetry, European sinks and fancy fabric lighting simply add flair and sophistication.

Other additions to the home include adding wainscoting to the office, paint throughout, new rugs, tile backsplash and hardware in the kitchen, added art and accessories.

This is a project where the clients took 18 month through planning and process to make their entire home cohesive, personal and stylish.  We thoroughly enjoyed this collaborative process and the client as well as the designers, feel satisfied with the overall outcome.

The massive scale of the dwelling was unwelcoming and severe.  Existing materials lacked warmth and the details had no enhancement.

Sweeping walkways and an interesting breakup of the structure gave us inspiration to humanize and bring the spaces together in a cohesive stream that lent to comfort, visual beauty and balance.

The entire interior is painted in a warm neutral which allows for all the finishes to have a harmony that is carried throughout the space and allowing the details to gracefully show themselves.

Adding natural hues on the home’s exterior helped it to blend with the surrounding natural environment.  At the entry hand carved woodwork from Thailand adorn the doors with lively pictorials.  Inside Italian travertine floors make a stunning transition from the wood.

In the living room your eyes peacefully start from the top of the windows working their way down the cascading velvet drapes to the fauxed niches, custom art, and mantel and finally to the rug and furnishings.  These elements work together with various levels of plum accented by warm hues personalizing the space.
