In this recently completed project, we reimagined the interiors of a former architect’s DC condo, curating a stylish and functional living and dining experience. The open-plan layout now features a cohesive blend of form and function furniture selections curated exclusively, and the dining space is anchored by stainless steel-framed custom DC photograph. This dining area also seating five, and sits perpendicular to a new window-wall bar cabinet we supplied, accompanied by coordinating bar stools for casual entertaining
Just beyond, the terrace was upgraded with elegant evergreen planters, a propane firepit, and a tilting umbrella that echoes the indoor-outdoor harmony. Evening ambiance will be enhanced with an LED strip light installed beneath the parapet for a warm, glowing atmosphere. The transformation continues into the private spaces, where the primary suite now boasts a chic sitting room outfitted with a sleeper sofa, swivel chairs, curated art, and built-in cabinetry for added utility. The primary bedroom itself is wrapped in serene textures and tones, featuring a plush gray velvet bed, coordinating nightstands, stone-and-crystal lamps, and a soft area rug that grounds the space in comfort. Additional rooms in the condo received updates as well—those will be revealed soon in the next design showcase. Stay tuned!

When marrying two Upper West Side apartments to accommodate a growing family’s needs, the team at Axis Mundi was faced with a conundrum: how to distinctly delineate public and private spaces without sacrificing the greater openness conferred by the expansion. So they limned that line with a six-foot square sliding glass door, which enables parents to block out the sounds of rambunctious youth emanating from private quarters, while also shielding sleeping children from the later night activities of their parents—all of it without obscuring light or affecting the impression of open-plan living. Continuity of materials—hand-scraped walnut plank floors, a custom bamboo veneer kitchen and living room shelving—enhances the sense of sweeping, loft-like spaces. Materials also create intriguing textural contrasts, as in a powder room where a high-tech glass sink and black stainless steel penny tile is softened by a leather door with contrast stitching one must open to enter the space.
Highlights: A pair of Gio Ponti lounge chairs, black glass rock tables and a William Yeoward area rug from the Rug Company (living room), sliding glass shower door from Magnum in the master bath.

The owner's initial goal was to remove the soffits and update their older kitchen.
At the initial meeting, with the owner's, we checked the soffits and found that they held structural beams and could not be removed. The owner's chose the plan to continue with the update of their kitchen.
We began by laying out, and framing the new location of the doorway, to the dining room, to increase the length of the wall and accommodate their larger, new, commercial range.
Next, a wire chase was installed from behind the television into the base cabinet, to enclose the wiring for a more appealing, clean look.
New recessed lights, under cabinet lights, and pendant lights illuminate the entire new kitchen, accenting beauty as well as function.
Note the brick pattern, glass, Subway tile back splash, enhancing the wall over the range.
Crown molding was installed to finish the ceiling perimeter.
New hardwood Oak flooring was supplied, installed, and finished.
The owner's enjoyed our team of craftsmen as well as the new finished kitchen.

To create a richly layered, designer-curated aesthetic, the cabinetry was finished with two complementary paint colors and thoughtfully coordinated hardware selections. Rather than using a single finish throughout, each cabinet was detailed to reinforce its unique role within the kitchen while contributing to a cohesive luxury design.
The cream-painted perimeter cabinetry is fitted with classic oil-rubbed bronze hardware, a timeless finish that beautifully complements the traditional bridge faucet and enhances the kitchen's historic character. In contrast, the soft grass-green island was treated as a freestanding furniture piece, featuring polished brass hardware and decorative exposed hinges that celebrate fine craftsmanship and vintage-inspired detailing. The warm brass finish subtly echoes the handcrafted yellow ceramic backsplash, creating visual continuity and adding depth to the overall color palette.
This intentional mix of premium hardware finishes introduces warmth, texture, and authenticity while giving the kitchen a collected-over-time appearance rather than the uniform feel of a newly installed space. The result is a bespoke luxury kitchen where every detail—from the cabinet finishes to the decorative hardware—contributes to a timeless, highly personalized design.

This modern kitchen remodel blends crisp white upper cabinetry with warm natural oak base cabinets to create a balanced and inviting space.
The design pairs clean-lined shaker doors with brushed brass hardware, introducing warmth without overwhelming the minimalist aesthetic. A full-height quartz backsplash extends behind the cooktop, enhancing visual continuity while providing a durable and easy-to-maintain surface.
Floating wood shelves add architectural interest and open storage, softening the transition between cabinetry and wall space. Under-cabinet lighting highlights the quartz veining and reinforces layered illumination throughout the kitchen.
Designed with ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinetry, this project demonstrates how thoughtfully engineered cabinet construction can achieve a refined, modern look while supporting efficient installation and consistent build quality.
The layout maximizes functionality through deep drawers, corner storage solutions, and practical work zones—creating a kitchen that is both visually calm and highly efficient for everyday use.

A substantial installation of 82 yards of fabric was used to create a continuous wall of functional drapery panels, introducing both scale and softness to the space. The refined pattern subtly incorporates the room’s wall color while weaving in the established blue and green palette, ensuring a cohesive and layered visual narrative. This extensive use of custom drapery enhances acoustics, adds movement, and brings a tailored, couture-level finish to the interior.
A quietly textured, custom area rug grounds the television viewing area, anchoring the sofa and defining the seating zone with understated elegance. Its muted coloring allows the surrounding furnishings and architectural elements to take precedence while providing warmth and comfort underfoot.
An oversized ottoman, reupholstered in a soft grey faux shagreen, introduces a durable yet luxurious surface that balances practicality with refined texture. Its generous scale supports multifunctional use in this busy family space, while the material choice ensures easy maintenance without compromising on sophisticated design. Together, these elements create a harmonious living environment where comfort, performance, and elevated design coexist seamlessly.

Alisa’s interior design embraces the elegance of minimalism with rich, natural textures and Mediterranean influences. The walls, finished with a soft beige plastered effect, create a soothing backdrop to the space, while an overhead ceiling fan adds a touch of movement and comfort. The dining area features wooden tables, each topped with handcrafted zellige tiles, adding a unique touch of artistry and texture. The natural elements are enhanced by sculptural oversized vintage terracotta lamps, each a giant vessel transformed into a work of art, their handwoven wild lampshades casting a softened special glow.
The design continues with carefully curated details that pay homage to Mediterranean charm. A rich array of hand-formed tiles lines the walls of the fireplace, offering texture and depth, while a wooden wine cellar offers an expansive variety of wines, inviting guests to explore the restaurant's carefully selected wine offerings. Aged brass elements throughout the space, from light fixtures to small accents, introduce a vintage feel, and a collection of wall art, including seashell-shaped clay objects, evokes the essence of the sea. The overall effect is a space where earthy tones, blue accents, and a timeless design come together, creating the perfect environment for every gathering—whether it's a romantic evening, a family dinner, or a gathering of friends.

Designed for repeat clients, this Overland Park remodel focused on improving function, flow, and everyday livability across multiple spaces.
In the kitchen, the layout was refined to create a more open and efficient environment. An enlarged island now serves as a central hub for cooking, gathering, and daily use, while ceiling-height cabinetry maximizes storage and creates a clean, built-in aesthetic. New hardwood flooring ties the space together, adding warmth and continuity.
A key transformation involved reconfiguring the layout to better support storage needs. By relocating the laundry room door, a dedicated pantry was introduced, significantly improving organization and accessibility. The adjacent laundry room was also updated, along with the addition of custom cubbies to streamline daily routines.
For a bold contrast, the powder bath was reimagined as a moody, speakeasy-inspired space, bringing depth, character, and a memorable design moment to the home.
The result is a cohesive, thoughtfully redesigned interior that enhances how the family lives day to day, balancing function, storage, and distinctive style.

This custom steam shower features exotic Calacatta Gold marble slabs, expertly book-matched to create a continuous vein flow across every wall. Designed and fabricated in-house by Power Marble & Granite, this project demonstrates our specialization in large-format marble and porcelain slab installations, advanced CAD planning, and precise CNC fabrication.
The space includes a fully contoured custom marble bench, wrapped with seamless transitions and detailed mosaic work. Gold luxury fixtures enhance the stone’s warm tones, while recessed niches and overhead lighting emphasize the depth and movement of the marble.
Every slab was laser-templated, CAD-mapped, and cut on CNC equipment to ensure flawless symmetry and alignment. Our team handled all substrate preparation, leveling, waterproofing, slab installation, and finishing—delivering a true spa-like retreat with museum-level craftsmanship.

This warm, modern ADU in Los Angeles was envisioned as a boutique-style guest retreat, blending high design with intimate livability. Designed with both comfort and sophistication in mind, the space features vaulted wood ceilings that add openness and architectural interest. Custom white oak cabinetry and a full kitchenette create a refined yet functional interior for guests.
Oversized sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening to a private outdoor lounge ideal for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. The bathroom continues the elevated aesthetic with hand-selected textured tile, matte black fixtures, and a sleek floating vanity that enhances the minimalist design. Thoughtful lighting and refined finishes add depth and softness throughout.
Wrapped in stone exterior cladding and floor-to-ceiling glass, the structure integrates seamlessly into its surroundings, embracing California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Whether used as a guest house, creative studio, or serene personal hideaway, this ADU reflects a modern approach to compact luxury—simple, elegant, and built to feel like home.
