Closet - contemporary closet idea in Chicago

Trendy kitchen photo in Chicago

This project was a ton of fun. I have been working with these clients, now dear friends, for several years on their various properties and we work really well together. For their desert home, my goal was to create a new experience with each space while maintaining flow. This required striking a balance between organic light/airy spaces and glam dark/moody spaces. The finishes specified ranged from blackened steel, walnut, polished brass, rubbed plaster, digital wallcovering and back lit quartz to name a few. When a space draws you in closer to investigate there is a moment of discovery that elicits an emotional response. These spaces do just that. From sublime light fixtures to cozy seating vignettes, this home is a beautiful sanctuary - a place to entertain friends and family both indoors and out. It is a poised exercise in effortless, relaxed, edgy luxe design.

Complete master bath gut in Chicago home that included converting a tub to a walk in shower and relocation all the plumbing. Hexagon mosaic tile floors, gray subway and Carrara marble slabs freshen this tailored traditional space. Benches and hidden storage were added to utilize flow and maximize the storage options.

Greenington’s Currant leaning shelf is a great storage solution for small spaces. Simple and eye-catching, the Currant leaning shelf is available in both black walnut or caramelized finish. The leaning design balances against the wall, and is ready to showcase your books, decor, and prized possessions.

A custom built-in with cabinetry for an 85" TV grounded the room with clean, modern architectural detail to balance the two-story height. A complete staircase reconstruction — new stringers, skirt boards, rail system, balusters, and newel posts — added structural integrity and refined architectural presence. A custom coffered ceiling introduced depth and warmth, with acoustic panels seamlessly integrated within its framework to control sound transmission throughout the home. The space was finished with plush, family-friendly seating in layered neutrals, Ripplefold drapery at the oversized windows, and walls refreshed in warm Quincy Tan with crisp White Dove trim

Classic White and stainless kitchen. We clad the walls with marble as well as built a farm sink out of marble. White marble can be user friendly with the right sealer, cleaner and maintenance. photo's by Lane Park

"What could be cozier than a group of friends enjoying the warmth of a luxurious firepit on a cool Southern California evening? I set the platform one step up to accentuate the firepit, and draw guests out from the covered area to sit and watch the flames dancing and darting around the faux logs."

Using our clients' existing sofa and grand piano, our goal was to create an elegant Living Room/Piano Room where family and friends could gather and be comfortable, while keeping the look transitional and fresh. We created a photo gallery of their children that would be seen by all upon entering the house, reminding visitors that this is an elegant, but never stuffy home. Our clients tell us that this is their favorite room in their house! Micheal Hunter Photography
