A remodeled ranch-style home a block from the beach in Capitola. Client is a active dad who took the home down to studs during the remodel. He loves open-floor plans and clean lines, so we matched the landscaping to the interior aesthetic with sleek, repeating concrete walls, architectural plant forms including succulents and monochromatic colors for an overall minimalist, textural effect. In the back garden, a custom wood bench provides a spot for the towels while hot tubbing. Pea gravel and light-colored flagstone comprise curving paths connecting garden elements and end in a casual firepit area. Retaining walls in the back garden provide the dual function of slope retention and planting beds, which have both foundational plants and culinary herbs.

Project: Mahitha's House Location: Kandy, Sri Lanka Area: 4300 Sqft Plot: 12 Perch Budget Allocation: 25 Million Client: Mahitha Lanka Project Designer- TRKDE Interior Designer Mahitha's house is built on a semi-urban plot of land in the Kandy area.

The client wanted to remodel their bathroom to make better use of the space. They wanted a larger shower and for the overall layout to be practical and aesthetically pleasing. To achieve this we covered up a window to allow for a large tile shower and added a new pocket door to the water closet. The new design includes an open tile shower featuring beautiful tile with a built-in niche and bench and a Delta brushed nickel handheld shower in addition to the main shower faucet. There is a large Bertch Bath double sink vanity with Cambria Quartz countertop. It also features Mohawk LVP flooring in a wood look which helps to warm up the space and makes for a nice foundation for the other painted surfaces. We love the end result!

We love it when a home becomes a family compound with wonderful history. That is exactly what this home on Mullet Lake is. The original cottage was built by our client’s father and enjoyed by the family for years. It finally came to the point that there was simply not enough room and it lacked some of the efficiencies and luxuries enjoyed in permanent residences. The cottage is utilized by several families and space was needed to allow for summer and holiday enjoyment. The focus was on creating additional space on the second level, increasing views of the lake, moving interior spaces and the need to increase the ceiling heights on the main level. All these changes led for the need to start over or at least keep what we could and add to it. The home had an excellent foundation, in more ways than one, so we started from there. It was important to our client to create a northern Michigan cottage using low maintenance exterior finishes. The interior look and feel moved to more timber beam with pine paneling to keep the warmth and appeal of our area. The home features 2 master suites, one on the main level and one on the 2nd level with a balcony. There are 4 additional bedrooms with one also serving as an office. The bunkroom provides plenty of sleeping space for the grandchildren. The great room has vaulted ceilings, plenty of seating and a stone fireplace with vast windows toward the lake. The kitchen and dining are open to each other and enjoy the view. The beach entry provides access to storage, the 3/4 bath, and laundry. The sunroom off the dining area is a great extension of the home with 180 degrees of view. This allows a wonderful morning escape to enjoy your coffee. The covered timber entry porch provides a direct view of the lake upon entering the home. The garage also features a timber bracketed shed roof system which adds wonderful detail to garage doors. The home’s footprint was extended in a few areas to allow for the interior spaces to work with the needs of the family. Plenty of living spaces for all to enjoy as well as bedrooms to rest their heads after a busy day on the lake. This will be enjoyed by generations to come.

This custom olive epoxy table was thoughtfully designed and handcrafted for our client Shane, showcasing the natural beauty of olive wood paired with deep black resin. We began by carefully selecting premium olive wood slabs, focusing on unique grain patterns, rich tones, and structural integrity. Each slab was then thoroughly cleaned, kiln-dried, and stabilized to ensure long-term durability. Once prepared, our craftsmen meticulously shaped and sanded the wood surfaces, preserving the organic character while achieving a smooth foundation. The black epoxy resin was then hand-poured, filling the natural voids and enhancing the contrast between wood and resin. This process requires precision, patience, and multiple stages of curing to achieve a flawless finish. After curing, the table underwent an extensive sanding and polishing process, progressing through fine grits to achieve a silky-smooth surface. A protective, UV-resistant coating was applied to enhance longevity and maintain the table’s deep, rich appearance over time. The result is a stunning, one-of-a-kind olive epoxy table that blends natural elegance with modern craftsmanship. Built to be both functional and timeless, this piece is designed to be the centerpiece of Shane’s dining space for years to come.

This newly completed contemporary island style Florida home overlooks the Roosevelt Channel, on the Bay side of Captiva Island, and is graced with the sunrise in the mornings. Repeat clients remind us of the success of previous landscape designs and of lasting relationships built while offering new and challenging opportunities for creative design. This client expressed a desire for a colorful tropical garden with emphasis on tropical plants, creative color palette and privacy. A grove of coconut palms with lush bamboo and a dense clusia hedge with a small tropical garden at the entry of the property screen views to the interior of the property plant a seed of intrigue for what lies around the corner beyond the decorative tabby stucco gate columns. Upon passing under the grove of coconuts and rounding the corner of the drive, the property opens to an expansive front yard with colorful tropical garden beds and channels views to the newly completed residence. Gardens containing colorful bromeliads, bougainvillea and tropical palms with a variety of leaf shape and texture and color draw upon influences of Brazilian garden design. Manicured swaths of Empire Zoysa separates the various gardens and allows for the user to stroll and explore the different gardens. The winding drive terminates at the front entry in a large tear drop shape turn around with massive coconuts in the center island surrounded by seven Sylvester Date palms around the outside of the drive. The entire perimeter of the turn around is surrounded with tropical gardens and intimate tropical gardens flank each side of the main entrance stairs. The hardscape pattern and color was selected to compliment the coquina tabby shell stucco finish on the foundation walls. The completed hardscape design including retaining walls, driveway, golf cart paths and private walks, is the result of collaborating closely with the owner over multiple revisions. The back of the residence overlooks an expansive resort-like pool and spa and a pool deck that terminates just feet from the seawall of the Roosevelt Channel. Tropical vegetation at each side of the property offers privacy to the pool area but is manicured to preserve views to the bay beyond. This truly is an island paradise.

Custom Home Built for Real Life Our clients came to us with a clear vision: a home that could adapt to their lifestyle and growing family. They needed a home built with intention, designed with the future in mind, and built around the routines they loved and the people they loved more. Open-Concept Living With Hosting in Mind Our clients hosted often and lived actively, so the main level had to be flexible for all of life’s moments. The goal was a space that felt grand without losing its warmth. Cooking together as a family mattered to our clients – the Wolf range, farmhouse sink, integrated appliances, and large island gave them a kitchen that flowed effortlessly while looking beautiful. This space also served as the bridge between other parts of the main level so that they would stay in view of the next. This created the perfect environment for gathering where everyone had their own spot without ever feeling apart from the whole group. For the living room, our clients wanted space that felt open without losing its warmth. Soaring ceilings created that sense of scale, while warm tones and materials, like the wood coffered ceiling and fireplace wall, kept it grounded. That same warmth carried outside, where an outdoor lounge with a fireplace and dining area made sure guests felt welcomed the moment they stepped out. A Backyard Built for Real Rest Every corner of the backyard was designed with one goal: to be the ultimate outdoor retreat. The elevated, white-brick-framed pool and integrated spa hot tub gave them a place to truly exhale. As the sun set, the fire pit lounge next to the pool became the hangout spot when they hosted their youth groups and family gatherings. Room to Grow With kids in the house, “custom” had to also mean flexible. Our clients had 2 young sons and needed their rooms to grow with them through the years. The two bedrooms and a full bath sat beside a loft that served as both their hangout-and-homework spot. The guest suite sat on the same level where a four-poster bed, floor-to-ceiling wood-look tile, and a frameless glass shower welcomed their guests from day one. A Retreat That’s Actually Theirs Between hosting and raising kids, this couple needed a suite that felt like a true escape. The wood-planked tray ceiling and French doors grounded the room in warmth the moment you walked in, while the ensuite bathroom carried a spa-like feeling with a freestanding soaking tub, custom double vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower. This Is What Approachable Luxury Looks Like The approachable luxury experience meant starting with conversations about how they wanted their space to live with them – how they hosted, how their kids played, how they wanted to feel walking through their own front door, and how we took their goals and experience and used it as the foundation of every decision that was made from start to finish. We wanted our clients to feel taken care of through the process and, most importantly, feel heard.

The Living area sets the stage for intimate entertainment within space that is multifaceted in function as well as form. The is room is at the center of all the surrounding spaces, such as the Sunroom, Kitchen and Formal dining room. The fireplace serves as a room divider between the Dining Room and the Living Room. We use the same rug in this space that lays a beautiful foundation on the dark wood floor. The rug has been carried into the visible sunroom area which continues to lead eye to the next space. Within this area my client found a beautiful Osborne and Little fabric that gave us our inspiration for the room. These beautiful chairs are by Bernhardt which we upholstered locally that worked with us one on one for the best result. These chairs flank her dark gray sofa with platinum nail heads. Th Cocktail table is a gray washed Oak with metal trim. This is also of mix of Chic and a little bit of a contemporary rustic design.

A home designed for gathering -effortlessly. Following a recent renovation, we layered in the finishing touches across the dining area, sunroom, and family room—bringing warmth, cohesion, and function to the main living spaces. A soft, neutral palette sets the tone, with warm woods, woven textures, and tailored upholstery adding depth and comfort. Sculptural lighting and curated accessories complete each space, balancing everyday livability with a refined, elevated feel. The result is a home that feels complete—inviting, cohesive, and ready to be lived in. Interior Design: Endless Ideas Interiors Photography: Mango Photography A soft palette of blues, warm beiges, and off-white tones sets the foundation, paired with Canadian-made custom bedroom furniture, an upholstered bed, and bespoke window treatments. Custom drapery adds softness and privacy, while subtle pattern play, brass accents, and thoughtfully selected lighting bring warmth and quiet sophistication. Carefully curated accessories complete the space, creating a cohesive and restful primary suite. The result is a timeless primary bedroom retreat that reflects our clients’ lifestyle and evolving needs, offering a peaceful, beautifully finished space designed for everyday living.
