This project showcases a modern open-concept interior that seamlessly blends functionality with warmth.
The kitchen is designed as the heart of the home, featuring a striking mix of wood finishes and sleek matte cabinetry. A large quartz waterfall island anchors the space, paired with pendant lighting and integrated high-end appliances that highlight a balance of luxury and practicality. The light wood flooring continues throughout, tying the space together with an elegant yet inviting atmosphere.
From the kitchen, the space transitions into the living and dining areas, where natural light enhances the clean lines and refined finishes. The dining area offers a comfortable yet sophisticated setting with upholstered seating and a glass table, perfect for both everyday meals and entertaining.

This modern interior staircase showcases clean lines and thoughtful craftsmanship, serving as both a functional connector and an architectural feature within the rowhome. Natural wood treads provide warmth and contrast beautifully against the sleek black metal balusters, while the streamlined wood handrail enhances the contemporary aesthetic. Neutral wall finishes and recessed lighting keep the stairwell bright and uncluttered, allowing the materials and detailing to stand out. Designed for durability and visual continuity, this staircase complements the home’s modern layout and refined interior palette.

We had the opportunity to renovate this space, which needed a lot of updating. The client wanted to update the finishes throughout their home, allowing for a more inviting feel. They wanted a more modern look while also upgrading those cabinets with durable materials that would last a lifetime. We used all new custom cabinets made of rich wood and premium hardware to achieve this goal. We continued throughout each room; fresh paint, lighting packages, and appliances enhance an area's design and create cohesiveness throughout the house.

Full gut renovation and facade restoration of an historic 1850s wood-frame townhouse. The current owners found the building as a decaying, vacant SRO (single room occupancy) dwelling with approximately 9 rooming units. The building has been converted to a two-family house with an owner’s triplex over a garden-level rental.
Due to the fact that the very little of the existing structure was serviceable and the change of occupancy necessitated major layout changes, nC2 was able to propose an especially creative and unconventional design for the triplex. This design centers around a continuous 2-run stair which connects the main living space on the parlor level to a family room on the second floor and, finally, to a studio space on the third, thus linking all of the public and semi-public spaces with a single architectural element. This scheme is further enhanced through the use of a wood-slat screen wall which functions as a guardrail for the stair as well as a light-filtering element tying all of the floors together, as well its culmination in a 5’ x 25’ skylight.

This custom-designed curved staircase is a stunning architectural feature that effortlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern design sensibilities. The staircase's elegant curve serves as a focal point, creating a sense of movement and flow within the home while maintaining a strong connection to the overall modern style.
The treads, crafted from premium white oak, are carefully finished to highlight the wood’s rich, natural grain and warm tones. Each tread is expertly constructed to ensure durability and comfort, offering a smooth and inviting surface that is both functional and beautiful. The graceful curve of the staircase allows for an unobstructed view of these finely crafted treads from every angle, enhancing the sense of openness and light within the space.
The white oak railing continues the theme of natural elegance, with its clean, polished finish that complements the modern aesthetic of the home. The railing’s smooth profile and crisp lines enhance the staircase’s overall design, ensuring it harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding environment.
The addition of wrought iron balusters introduces a touch of timeless artistry, offering a beautiful contrast to the warm oak. The intricate design of the balusters adds visual interest without detracting from the staircase’s modern appeal, creating a striking balance between strength and sophistication.
This staircase is not only a functional element of the home but a true statement piece. Meticulously crafted to meet the highest standards, it adds both elegance and character to the space, embodying the perfect fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

In this modern kitchen, powder bath, and laundry room transformation, every detail is meticulously considered to seamlessly blend beauty with functionality. Natural light floods the room, complemented by a stunning chandelier and sleek pendant lighting.

Walnut cabinetry with bronze hardware harmonizes with Titanium Brushed granite on the island and Negresco Honed granite countertops, providing ample workspace and storage. Premium features include a Delta pull-down kitchen faucet, instant hot faucet in champagne bronze, and state-of-the-art GE appliances. Rich hardwood floors create warmth and continuity, while an LED-lighted dry bar with walnut cabinetry, wine glass holders, and a beverage fridge enhances entertainment options. The powder bath features live edge floating shelves, Keystone Hex white porcelain tile, and matte black Delta fixtures. The laundry room is stylish and functional with custom deep blue cabinetry, a stacking washer/dryer, and Miami Vena quartz countertops. This remodel not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of each space but also significantly improves their functionality.

In Katy, Texas, Tradition Outdoor Living designed an outdoor living space, transforming the average backyard into a Texas Ranch-style retreat.
Entering this outdoor addition, the scene boasts Texan Ranch with custom made cedar Barn-style doors creatively encasing the recessed TV above the fireplace. Maintaining the appeal of the doors, the fireplace cedar mantel is adorned with accent rustic hardware. The 60” electric fireplace, remote controlled with LED lights, flickers warm colors for a serene evening on the patio. An extended hearth continues along the perimeter of living room, creating bench seating for all.
This combination of Rustic Taloka stack stone, from the fireplace and columns, and the polished Verano stone, capping the hearth and columns, perfectly pairs together enhancing the feel of this outdoor living room. The cedar-trimmed coffered beams in the tongue and groove ceiling and the wood planked stamped concrete make this space even more unique!
In the large Outdoor Kitchen, beautifully polished New Venetian Gold granite countertops allow the chef plenty of space for serving food and chatting with guests at the bar. The stainless steel appliances sparkle in the evening while the custom, color-changing LED lighting glows underneath the kitchen granite.
In the cooler months, this outdoor space is wired for electric radiant heat. And if anyone is up for a night of camping at the ranch, this outdoor living space is ready and complete with an outdoor bathroom addition!

Porcelain stair non-slip pieces and porcelain pool copings deliver both aesthetic continuity and functional integrity at transition points. More than just a swimming space, this application redefines luxury living by uniting elegance, safety, and comfort in a single, cohesive design.

At the center of this home, the kitchen isn’t just a place to cook—it’s where the family comes together. Designed with an open-concept layout, it flows effortlessly into the surrounding spaces, making it as inviting as it is functional. Since the homeowners are passionate about cooking, we prioritized thoughtful details, like a waterfall edge at the end of the island closest to the range to make meal prep an easy clean up. The oversized island acts as both a workspace and a gathering spot, providing ample room for everything. To enhance its overall impact, we selected an Orca stone for its continuous pattern and installed it with a book-matched pattern, ensuring a flawless, uninterrupted look across this showstopping centerpiece.
