While this new home had an architecturally striking exterior, the home’s interior fell short in terms of true functionality and overall style. The most critical element in this renovation was the kitchen and dining area, which needed careful attention to bring it to the level that suited the home and the homeowners. As a graduate of Culinary Institute of America, our client wanted a kitchen that “feels like a restaurant, with the warmth of a home kitchen,” where guests can gather over great food, great wine, and truly feel comfortable in the open concept home. Although it follows a typical chef’s galley layout, the unique design solutions and unusual materials set it apart from the typical kitchen design. Polished countertops, laminated and stainless cabinets fronts, and professional appliances are complemented by the introduction of wood, glass, and blackened metal – materials introduced in the overall design of the house. Unique features include a wall clad in walnut for dangling heavy pots and utensils; a floating, sculptural walnut countertop piece housing an herb garden; an open pantry that serves as a coffee bar and wine station; and a hanging chalkboard that hides a water heater closet and features different coffee offerings available to guests. The dining area addition, enclosed by windows, continues to vivify the organic elements and brings in ample natural light, enhancing the darker finishes and creating additional warmth.

This ranch style house on Lake Buchanan is surrounded by lush gardens that use very little water.
This is an example of a large rustic drought-tolerant and full sun front yard stone landscaping in Austin for summer.

Quartz and textured granite countertops provide a sophisticated feel while allowing for ease of maintenance after those late night poker parties. A retractable exterior door system can be fully-pocketed to provide great integration of the indoor & outdoor spaces.

This beautiful two story foyer features orange grasscloth wallpaper, original vintage art and a blue console table for storage. The color scheme beautifully complements the hallway to the powder room and living room to the left.

Old lawn was transformed into a drought-resistant garden offering ever-changing colors and textures. Turf removal rebate from the local water agency helped offset the cost. A new stucco wall with iron gates were built to create an enclosed porch/courtyard to give homeowners a much-needed buffer between their home and the hustle and bustle of a big city .

Cape Cod; Dennis, MA This Cape Cod-style bathroom features a double vanity that blends classic design with functional elegance. The vanity itself is a prominent feature, with its clean, white cabinetry and polished hardware. It includes two separate sink areas, each with a white countertop and a mirror above. Between the two sinks, a central tower cabinet provides additional storage, featuring both a tall cabinet and a set of four drawers below it. The lighting adds to the room's traditional aesthetic, with two elegant wall sconces placed between the mirrors. Each sconce has a white shade and a polished metal backplate, providing a warm and balanced light. The walls are finished with classic wainscoting, which adds texture and a coastal feel to the space. On the left side of the vanity, a freestanding tub is visible, hinting at a larger, luxurious bathroom layout. On the right, a glass-paneled sliding door leads to what appears to be a shower, suggesting a well-organized and modern-functional space. The flooring is a light, natural stone tile, which complements the overall color palette and adds to the serene, spa-like atmosphere.

A mountain retreat for an urban family of five, centered on coming together over games in the great room. Every detail speaks to the parents’ parallel priorities—sophistication and function—a twofold mission epitomized by the living area, where a cashmere sectional—perfect for piling atop as a family—folds around two coffee tables with hidden storage drawers. An ambiance of commodious camaraderie pervades the panoramic space. Upstairs, bedrooms serve as serene enclaves, with mountain views complemented by statement lighting like Owen Mortensen’s mesmerizing tumbleweed chandelier. No matter the moment, the residence remains rooted in the family’s intimate rhythms.
