Open concept for this home was created in this home allowing guest to take advantage of seating in the living room while still interacting with the host in the kitchen. The ship lap was continued throughout and a single love seat and rocker were selected to fit the style and size of the room. For storage a closet was added beside the stairway and a barn door with dark hardware was used to cover the closet.

At the core of this transformation was the client’s aspiration for an open, interconnected space. The removal of barriers between the kitchen, dining, and living areas created an expansive, fluid layout, elevating the home’s ambiance and facilitating seamless interaction among spaces. The new open layout is the perfect space to cook and entertain merging sophistication with functionality. The journey began with the client’s exploration of colors, eventually embracing Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy blue as the cornerstone for the cabinetry. This choice set the stage for a harmonious palette that tied in with the living and dining room furniture and rugs. Integrating a natural stone countertop became a focal point, incorporating these varied hues while gold fixtures added a touch of luxury and sophistication. Throughout the design process, challenges were met with innovative solutions. Space optimization was key, requiring strategic placement of appliances like a smaller-width refrigerator alongside a pull-out pantry cabinet. The island, a central feature, not only provided additional seating but replaced the need for a separate table and chairs, optimizing the space for gatherings and enhancing the flow between the kitchen and the adjoining areas. The revitalized kitchen now stands as a vibrant hub for social interaction. The homeowner seamlessly integrates into gatherings, no longer confined by kitchen walls, while guests engage effortlessly in the cooking process at the island. This transformation embodies the convergence of beauty and functionality, where every design element tells a story of thoughtful innovation and meticulous attention to detail.

Migration by Jon Allen - A sophisticated 3 Panel Set of Abstract Metal Wall Art in Silver and Black measuring 38" x 24" x 2" (96.52 cm x 60.96 cm x 5.08 cm) overall including suggested 1" spacing between panels. This piece celebrates one of my mantras in life: the only thing constant is change. As the Summer gives way to Fall, as babies become college graduates overnight, as the seasons of our lives pass and our wants and interest ebb and flow, I am inspired by change. I embrace change. I am renewed by change. In that very spirit, I give you this abstract representation known as 'Migration'. My signature-defined hand textured intricacies and carvings into the metal capture and reflect surrounding light sources creating enhanced interaction with dramatic illusions of depth and 3D movement as viewed from different angles. Hang it in your living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, office, or outdoors. This abstract metal art will wow and impress your guests. Display under natural lighting or make this original artwork the show stopping centerpiece of any room with track lighting or gallery spot lights for dramatic effect. Lighting and other environmental factors interact with metal artwork in a unique, organic way.

This complete structural makeover of a two-story 1978 penthouse sought to integrate the kitchen and social area, creating an open layout allowing houseguests to interact more fluidly, while taking advantage of the natural light afforded by a reconfigured, double-height view of Miami’s Biscayne Bay. Materials were chosen to lend richness and texture to the space, defining proportions and ratios, with an emphasis on clean, compelling lines to complement the clients’ entertaining objectives while embodying a warmer, “Modern Eclectic Contemporary” feel. Custom furniture including a sleek, youthful bar and seating as well as oversized artwork emphasize proportion in the two-story space while maximizing the space’s relationship to the double-height view. The design aimed to toy with depth and drama, employing a custom geometric chandelier, streamlined furniture, and glimpses of color to create a welcoming, interesting, and eye-catching space. - Sandra Diaz-Velasco

Skyfield Retreat is a modern hunting lodge located on a secluded lakeside in Western Alabama. The client’s interest in modern design allowed this space to be created from simple volumes that interact with one another through horizontal planes. The public spaces welcome twelve-foot ceilings with transom windows placed above the exterior overhangs. The southern-facing bedrooms have nine-foot ceilings with floor to ceiling glass opening to their own private porch. The roof plane floats over the structure with deep overhangs and large horizontal bands of glass, drawing the eye to the vast, uninhabited landscape. A theme of passing from inside to out is consistently seen throughout this house. From the wood soffit ceilings, to the concrete flooring, to the cladding on the fireplace; both materials and their linear volumes subtly move from interior to exterior, creating a since of truly being within nature.

This beautiful bamboo kitchen won the NARI 2013 National Contractor of the Year Award for kitchen remodels between $40,000 and $80,000. The new kitchen layout was developed to remove the wall between the kitchen and living room to access the water views and allow interaction between the cook and guests. Contemporary bamboo cabinets with light reflecting black Silestone countertops are the focal point of the home now, with open seating at a spacious island allowing the cook to carry on conversations with his guests while creating gourmet kitchen masterpieces.

This staircase is a truly special project to come out of the MW Design Workshop. We worked extensively with the clients, architect, interior designer, builder, and other trades to achieve this fully integrated feature in the home. The challenge we had was to create a stunning, aesthetically pleasing stair using MPP – a structural mass timber product developed locally here in Oregon. We used 3D modelling to incorporate the complex interactions between the CNC-milled MPP treads, water-jet cut and LED lit bookcase, and rolled steel handrail with the rest of the built structure.
