A generous garden is sheltered by a Heritage Live Oak Tree, and forms a close relationship with an adjacent Landscape also designed by Charles Di Piazza Architects.

The primary bedroom didn’t go untouched. We anchored the space with Benjamin Moore Dragon’s Breath on the accent wall—a moody, rich tone that adds instant depth. It sets a stunning backdrop for the Rejuvenation Imbrie Articulating Sconces, which bring a classic brass-and-enamel moment into the mix. Paired with Buster + Punch dimmer switches, the lighting now responds intuitively to any mood, from soft nighttime reading to bright morning motivation. Grounding the room is Dreamweaver’s Finishing Touch carpet in Shortbread, a soft, neutral foundation that keeps the room feeling cozy and connected to the palette of the bath.

It’s unique ellipse shape resembles a slim silhouette with a remarkable line of fire. Smart and stylish, the fireplace is a modern and luxurious element of the contemporary design. ZEN is available in either black or white colour, finished with fiberglass polyester, powered coated steel and tempered glass. In addition, the designer’s idea was to create a bio fireplace with optimal flexibility of the product’s height. Therefore, Zen includes both lower and slightly higher (ZEN High) version depending on one’s needs. Thanks to the advanced BEV technology, the fireplace does not emit any smell and ash. Additionally, it also allows to regulate the height of natural colour flames. The user can adjust it up to one’s likings in order to create a perfect atmosphere. ZEN is portable and its installation does not demand any hard connections. Therefore, the fireplace can be placed anywhere to fit even the most exquisite project. The fireplace is safe and user friendly. The intuitive system provides single button operation. Innovative and sophisticated, the fireplace works literally at the push of the button.

Winner of the 2018 Tour of Homes Best Remodel, this whole house re-design of a 1963 Bennet & Johnson mid-century raised ranch home is a beautiful example of the magic we can weave through the application of more sustainable modern design principles to existing spaces. We worked closely with our client on extensive updates to create a modernized MCM gem. Extensive alterations include: - a completely redesigned floor plan to promote a more intuitive flow throughout - vaulted the ceilings over the great room to create an amazing entrance and feeling of inspired openness - redesigned entry and driveway to be more inviting and welcoming as well as to experientially set the mid-century modern stage - the removal of a visually disruptive load bearing central wall and chimney system that formerly partitioned the homes’ entry, dining, kitchen and living rooms from each other - added clerestory windows above the new kitchen to accentuate the new vaulted ceiling line and create a greater visual continuation of indoor to outdoor space - drastically increased the access to natural light by increasing window sizes and opening up the floor plan - placed natural wood elements throughout to provide a calming palette and cohesive Pacific Northwest feel - incorporated Universal Design principles to make the home Aging In Place ready with wide hallways and accessible spaces, including single-floor living if needed - moved and completely redesigned the stairway to work for the home’s occupants and be a part of the cohesive design aesthetic - mixed custom tile layouts with more traditional tiling to create fun and playful visual experiences - custom designed and sourced MCM specific elements such as the entry screen, cabinetry and lighting - development of the downstairs for potential future use by an assisted living caretaker - energy efficiency upgrades seamlessly woven in with much improved insulation, ductless mini splits and solar gain

The kitchenette anchors the living space with a wall of handmade forest-green tile, echoing the evergreens just outside. White oak cabinetry and open shelves display collected ceramics, creating a sense of continuity and memory in their new home. A clay pendant and brushed-brass faucet add quiet warmth, while the compact layout supports easy, intuitive use. From the living room’s rose-colored sofa, the space feels both functional and deeply personal.
