Oxford & CompanyThis custom barndominium-style home in Franklin, Tennessee is a study in how rustic materials and modern design can coexist beautifully. Clad in natural cedar vertical siding with a standing seam metal roof, the exterior is grounded and unpretentious, yet the moment you step inside, the level of craft becomes immediately clear.
Soaring vaulted ceilings finished in tongue-and-groove pine anchor the open great room, where a chef's kitchen features custom white oak cabinetry, honed quartzite countertops, a farmhouse sink, and glass-front display cabinets with interior lighting. A sculptural brass pendant marks the social lounge, while globe pendants in brushed gold illuminate the kitchen island.
Every bathroom tells its own story, from a primary suite with a freestanding soaking tub set against herringbone tile and an arched built-in niche, to a powder room wrapped floor-to-ceiling in bold graphic tile with penny-round floors. The lower level delivers an entertainment space complete with a wet bar, mirrored backsplash, and polished concrete floors.
Outside, a second-floor deck with a pass-through bar window opens to sweeping views of the Tennessee countryside, the kind of detail that makes this home feel like a retreat every single day.
Serapool PorselenHarmonized with the refined architectural lines of Çeşme, this villa project is completed with the aesthetic and technical excellence of Serapool. The Piazza Cyan Series delivers a sophisticated depth to the pool surface through its gradient transitions from turquoise to deep blue. Surrounding the pool, Beige Stone porcelain terrace anti-slip tiles introduce a serene ambiance with their warm beige hues. All surfaces feature a water absorption rate below 0.5%, ensuring long-lasting durability. They exhibit high resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and thermal shocks. With a PTV ≥ 45° slip resistance rating, the outdoor flooring ensures maximum safety. Piazza Cyan outer trim and Beige Stone outer trim details preserve aesthetic continuity in curved areas. More than a swimming area, the project offers a comprehensive luxury experience where elegance, safety, and comfort coexist seamlessly through artfully designed surfaces.
CHARLES STREET DESIGN, LLCWhen our long-time clients, decidedly urban dwellers, de-camped from the city to the suburbs in 2019, we helped them remake their “too-traditional” new house into a home that better fit their style. A recently-completed house by a developer, we set-out from day one to sprinkle their preferred contemporary, more-urban-than-suburban style throughout the spaces. All without major architectural changes. We changed all the decorative lighting and doors throughout the home to allow the architecture to better align with their style. The home is now layered with clean-lines, modern fabrics, vibrant colors, and contemporary art. The result is the perfect coexistence of contemporary and traditional – without letting either feel out of place.

Dean Nota Architect30’ X 80” slice of ocean front sand.
This site resides at an urban edge in transition, where a dense fabric of older, unremarkable structures must coexist with more contemporary dwellings.
The Clients, a married couple, required a house for themselves and occasional family guests.
The house is organized to allow for a visual connection with a very public Strand and Beach, while providing more private domains for entertaining and personal habitation.
Purposefully Orchestrated Experience
Opening the house to the sky and the ocean is the principal way that this house reveals its inner spatial experience.
A composition of articulated shapes organized over a solid base.
Exterior elevations are a composition of solid, rectilinear stucco elements that are strategically subtracted to reveal a contrasting, inner layer of sloping, cedar siding, glazed window walls and cantilevered deck platforms; all organized over a base of porcelain tile.

Bureau NamasLocated in Pacific Palisades with sweeping ocean views, Asilomar is a colonial home inspired by the timeless elegance of classic Hamptons architecture. This coastal residence balances relaxed sophistication with an understated, contemporary sensibility—embracing both its natural surroundings and the spirit of California coastal living.

A wide, welcoming porch and gently sloped rooflines unify the composition, inviting both gathering and retreat.
At Asilomar, every element is crafted to feel both rooted and forward-looking—a home that reflects its storied past while opening a new chapter. The result is a sanctuary where history and hope coexist, offering an elegant interpretation of coastal California living.

Kriste Michelini Interiorsmodern mountain home captures the essence of rustic-meets-industrial in a minimal yet impactful way. Starting with a color palette inspired by our client’s love of white, gray and black, we created a home that is cool and hip for entertaining and family lake-side living. Industrial elements and rustic details coexist side by side, such as the striking black metal fireplace facing off against a custom oversized sectional and an antler chandelier in the central great room, while sheepskin throws casually top sleek mid-century-inspired dining chairs.
Every room has a “wow” factor element, and the playful interiors are filled with graphic accents that express the family’s personality and history: a pantry door adapted from a shipping container lists family birth dates in place of the usual ports of call, a sliding door calls out the site’s original greenhouse, and IPhone photos are transformed into very personal bedroom murals. This is a mountain home, so durable outdoor fabrics abound, and a “snack shack” made from a glass garage door opens up to reveal an indoor/outdoor bar.

By Darash - Kitchen Cabinets, Vanities & ClosetsA meeting... Of materials: stainless steel, glass, white Carrara marble, wood, black Marquinia stone. Of styles, Farmhouse Shaker style contemporary and classic yet gives of the warm feeling of a rustic vibe interior design, creating a third, which transcends time. Match of finishes: hammering, antique brass finish, trowel, natural finish, matte, shiny reflective glass. An encounter between optimal functionality and pure aesthetics, which coexist in perfect balance. Blue avio, a color blue kitchen, played down by the large contemporary island and Shaker Style Cabinets, which aesthetically create a clever play of depth. The workhorse is undoubtedly his island, a dialogue of styles between classic and contemporary, a combination of materials in which honey-colored wood meets Nero Marquinia stone in a brushed finish and marble. The visual contrast alone, but also the Italian excellence of the material quality, make it a true work of art.
