After ten years, the builder grade finishes and design quirks of this downtown condo had long since lost its charm. This homeowner wanted a thoughtful reinterpretation of her kitchen and was ready for a modern space with clean finishes. Handsome lines and striated charcoal tones create depth and an artistic feel in the kitchen. The custom metal work on the island grounds the kitchen and hints at an industrial touch. Custom end-grain walnut countertops balance the strong lines of the sleek brass range hood and sculptural lighting finished in matte black offers a considered feel. The clever design balances sleek finishes and soft lines in a simple statement.

This kitchen combines warm wood tones with softly veined stone and neutral finishes for a refined, organic feel. A sculptural plaster-style range hood creates a strong focal point, while fluted glass cabinetry and warm metal accents add subtle texture and visual interest. Clean-lined cabinetry, integrated storage, and professional-style appliances balance the natural elements with a polished contemporary aesthetic.

This front entry courtyard showcases a dramatic set of arched iron doors framed by classic architectural detailing, a central fountain, and a geometric paver-and-grass layout. The welcoming approach, manicured landscaping, and formal Mediterranean styling create a memorable entrance with strong curb appeal.

Navy blue wallpaper with adorable, quirky woodland design featuring foxes and leaves was the highlight of this powder room. It creates a cozy, unique space for guests to utilize. White trim, white wall-mounted sink, and white window treatment help to accent the strong wallpaper design. A custom light fixture was added above the sink to provide additional lighting into this dark space. Gray tiled flooring finishes the design.

What Makes an Ocean Wave, Wave? The quintessential New England ocean-front cottage poised for perfection, how could you possibly improve? What was already an amazing property on the shore in Ipswich, MA, gave way to a ‘face lift’. The ocean facing roofline with steep pitch created a blank canvas, our favorite! Constructing an eyebrow shaped dormer transformed the second floor by ‘opening the home’s eyes’, adding a master bedroom suite and reading nook…to die for. Ocean views and natural light were maximized by the strong use of glass and transparent finishes. The dramatic roofline resembles an ocean wave, befitting of the home’s coastal cottage location and style. Photo by Eric Roth

For many homebuyers, finding the perfect house can feel like a series of compromises. The layout isn't quite right, the lot is too small, or the home lacks the features needed for long-term living. Purchasing land and building a custom home allows buyers to create a property that reflects their vision, priorities, and future goals. As Magnolia continues to attract families, professionals, retirees, and those seeking more space outside Houston, the demand for quality homesites remains strong.

When this client purchased an Auckland apartment ‘off the plans’, they wanted to put their stamp of quality on it. With considerable renovation experience and a keen eye for good design they knew how to elevate the proposed apartment fit-out to be a stand out in the development. This project went at a cracking pace and was heaps of fun! The intended aesthetic was strong, cohesive and sophisticated with the stone benchtop material as the feature. Whilst they came to Honour Creative with clear ideas of how they would like to approach the kitchen design, their clarity of vision was balanced with an openness to how to best work with their space and specific needs to create a space unique to them.

This client in Maple wanted a strong impact of lighting, so instead of the usual garden fixture shapes used wide-effect up-lights to create shadow shapes with real "pop". We alternated the wide up-lights with solid copper half-moon sconces on the fence, to wash the patio with lighting to remove trip hazards and add texture. An important element of contemporary back yard lighting design is to light seating areas obliquely, to avoid feeling "on display" while dining outdoors among tall adjacent homes.

This inviting kitchen blends warm transitional design with timeless details and a fresh modern, material palette. Rich medium-tone wood cabinetry brings natural warmth and character to the space, while the crisp white countertops and full height backsplash create a bright, clean contrast. The range hood serves as the focal point, adding architectural interest and softening the strong lines of the cabinetry. The oversized island provides generous prep space and a natural gathering point for both meals and entertaining. The combination of warm wood tones, classic cabinetry, light surfaces, natural textures and refined finishes create a kitchen that feels elevated without being overly formal. The adjoining living room and powder bathroom were updated to compliment the kitchen's new refined look. The powder room features porcelain tile flooring, while the living room and adjoining spaces carry the same engineered hardwood flooring throughout.

“The Madrona House nestles into a historic Seattle hilltop neighborhood, looking east to Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountain Range beyond. Built for a downsizing couple that owned the historic craftsman house next door, the house was designed to maximize light and connection to the outdoors, with a strong sense of mass and materiality. The home was designed as a plinth with thick walls and a hearth rising out of it, capped by a carved wooden volume. The irregular textures of the concrete change with the time of day and the color of the sky through the seasons, giving the home a sense of heft and permanence. Glazed openings are inset to the interior surface to express the thickness of walls, creating covered outdoor spaces where possible. Details like concealed headers, minimal exposed flashing, and a continuous reveal joint between the concrete and flush wood upper story accentuate the mass and elemental composition of the home. Light is diffused through the more open east and west ends of the house and the courtyard, and carefully placed skylights create a luminous sanctuary from the surrounding city.”

Modern rooftop deck construction featuring a pedestal-supported decking system, custom steel railings, and an aluminum pergola designed to create a functional and durable outdoor living space. The pedestal system allows the finished rooftop surface to remain elevated above the waterproof membrane, improving drainage and providing convenient access beneath the deck. Steel railings give the rooftop a strong architectural look, while the aluminum pergola creates a defined area for shade, relaxation, and entertaining. This project combines rooftop decking, waterproofing-compatible construction, custom metal railings, and a modern pergola system into one clean, low-maintenance outdoor space.
