With its coffered ceilings, white-on-white color scheme, and the sun streaming in the floor-to-ceiling windows, the expansive room exudes peace. The additional painted built-in cabinet across from the fireplace helps frame the room, and our suggestion of a mirrored television above the fireplace contributes rather than detracts from the room’s graces. Three re-paneled arches between living and dining room give the passageway a pleasing formality.

The varied countertop heights in this kitchen contribute to the sophisticated look of this modern kitchen. The marble countertops wrap along the side to create a modern look. The dark flat panel cabinets contrast the lighter colored wood floors and provide amble space for stowing kitchen supplies.

With adjacent neighbors within a fairly dense section of Paradise Valley, Arizona, C.P. Drewett sought to provide a tranquil retreat for a new-to-the-Valley surgeon and his family who were seeking the modernism they loved though had never lived in. With a goal of consuming all possible site lines and views while maintaining autonomy, a portion of the house — including the entry, office, and master bedroom wing — is subterranean. This subterranean nature of the home provides interior grandeur for guests but offers a welcoming and humble approach, fully satisfying the clients requests. While the lot has an east-west orientation, the home was designed to capture mainly north and south light which is more desirable and soothing. The architecture’s interior loftiness is created with overlapping, undulating planes of plaster, glass, and steel. The woven nature of horizontal planes throughout the living spaces provides an uplifting sense, inviting a symphony of light to enter the space. The more voluminous public spaces are comprised of stone-clad massing elements which convert into a desert pavilion embracing the outdoor spaces. Every room opens to exterior spaces providing a dramatic embrace of home to natural environment. Grand Award winner for Best Interior Design of a Custom Home The material palette began with a rich, tonal, large-format Quartzite stone cladding. The stone’s tones gaveforth the rest of the material palette including a champagne-colored metal fascia, a tonal stucco system, and ceilings clad with hemlock, a tight-grained but softer wood that was tonally perfect with the rest of the materials. The interior case goods and wood-wrapped openings further contribute to the tonal harmony of architecture and materials. Grand Award Winner for Best Indoor Outdoor Lifestyle for a Home This award-winning project was recognized at the 2020 Gold Nugget Awards with two Grand Awards, one for Best Indoor/Outdoor Lifestyle for a Home, and another for Best Interior Design of a One of a Kind or Custom Home. At the 2020 Design Excellence Awards and Gala presented by ASID AZ North, Ownby Design received five awards for Tonal Harmony. The project was recognized for 1st place – Bathroom; 3rd place – Furniture; 1st place – Kitchen; 1st place – Outdoor Living; and 2nd place – Residence over 6,000 square ft. Congratulations to Claire Ownby, Kalysha Manzo, and the entire Ownby Design team. Tonal Harmony was also featured on the cover of the July/August 2020 issue of Luxe Interiors + Design and received a 14-page editorial feature entitled “A Place in the Sun” within the magazine.

LCM PLUS has partnered with the Department of Public Works to construct a new Adopt-A-Site within the traffic island at the intersection of the Lynn Fells Parkway with Bellevue Avenue. Special thanks to Joe Guarino and our amazing crew for again giving back to the community by partnering to renovate Bellevue Park. “As a long-time resident of this community, I am happy and proud to be able to contribute and give back to the beautiful town of Melrose” says Joe Guarino, owner and President of LCM PLUS.

A complete remodel of a 70s-era home re-imagines its original post-modern architecture. The new design emphasizes details such as a phoenix motif (significant to the family) that appears on a fountain as well as at the living room fireplace surround, both designed by the firm. Mahogany paneling, stone and walnut flooring, elaborate ceiling treatments, steel picture windows that frame panoramic views, and carved limestone window surrounds contribute new texture and character.

The TWINS sofa-bed is essentially a sofa with a refined appearance, ready to make a valid decor contribution to any space. It has a slim upholstered back enhanced by soft cushions, and offers the possibility of two independent twin beds that can also be combined to form a double bed. A patented mechanism permits easy extraction of the second bed from below, which is brought to the same level as the other thanks to a pump system activated with a simple touch of the foot. The four back cushions, when the sofa is closed, contain two duvets and two pillows.

This bedroom is designed to bring the outdoors in. Natural lighting, exposed wood beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows contribute to an organic feel in the room.

The guest bedroom in this house is located on the lower level, but you’d never know it by all the light! This was achieved by choosing light greys and vibrant oranges as the main color palette. Mirrors and plenty of lighting fixtures also contribute to the light in the room. This room is a great example of how to mix patterns. The trick to successfully mixing patterns is to choose different kinds of patterns in various sizes—and include a few solids too. Horizontal striped drapes are a striking choice next to that stunning damask wallpaper!

This family room went from ultra shabby to super chic! Before the renovation the floors were a worn, dated parquet. We replaced the parquet flooring with a warm chocolate glazed birch hardwood. The fireplace surround was a dreary white painted brick which we refaced with a copper metallic porcelain tile. The preexisting built-ins were completely demolished as they were oversized and out of date. We designed more contemporary and functional custom built-ins for the space, adding some square footage to the room as well. The textures in the room-dark wood, copper toned tile, plush velvet and soft leather-all contribute to the warm and cozy feel of the space. Photographer: Paul S. Bartholomew

A traditional look and feel was required for this farmhouse full bath remodel. Period touches such as a Carrera marble basket weave floor tile design and Jado’s Savina pedestal sink maximized the visual impact of this bath originally built in the late 1800’s. 3”x6” White Subway tile walls contributed to the clean, simple, yet classic look and feel. Custom wood linen tower and framed medicine cabinet in painted white finish ensure plenty of personal storage and convenience yet provide a streamline appearance, keeping with the period of this lovely antique.

Custom-designed cabinetry, complete with crown molding, gives this chic laundry room a built-in look. • Lago® Milano Grey creates a bold color palette. • 5-piece Shaker door and drawer fronts contribute to the transitional aesthetic. • Crown molding detail offers a built-in look. • Brushed aluminum decorative hardware adds polish. • Tesoro Pietra countertop creates a designated work space for folding clothes. • Pull-out laundry baskets in brushed aluminum finish provide accessible storage for sorting dirty clothes. • Wrapping paper drawer keeps supplies organized.

GREAT ROOM The Great Room features warm, textural accents and materials, such as the woven pendants over the sitting area, the saddle-colored leather chairs and side talbes, the casual linen-upholstered sofa, and cowhide stools. A collection of ethnic-printed pillows and hand carved wood lamps offer a bit of globalism, and an antique rug contributes a sense of history to the collected look. A hand dyed woven tapestry adds a soft, tonal layer above the fireplace.

Removing the wall between the vanity and commode/shower transformed this hall bath. The custom double vanity captured the space where the wall was removed allowing a larger vanity width. Cherry cabinets and warm tones contribute to the larger more functional shared hall bath.

A wall-hung toilet leaves more floor space, and visually, the wall-mounted push-button flush contributes to the feeling of a larger space without a tank. The accent tile wainscoting traverses the room, unifying the space and lending increased depth to the color palette. Photo: Dan Bawden
