Nestled in the treetops overlooking Lake Sarah, this second-story addition was designed as both a retreat and an extension of home. Elevated above the shoreline, the new spaces immerse the homeowners in the beauty of their surroundings while supporting the rhythm of daily life.
The addition introduces a private guest en-suite for visiting family and friends, a quiet office for focused work, a cozy lounge for gathering, a dedicated ceramic studio for making, and an outdoor patio that connects seamlessly to views of the lake and woods.
Every space reflects the homeowners’ lifestyle—places where creativity can flourish, where moments of reflection are possible, and where memories with friends and family can be made. Natural light, framed views, and a strong connection to the outdoors guided the design, ensuring that each room feels both purposeful and restorative.
Outside, durable cement board siding, anodized aluminum Marvin windows, and composite decking ensure lasting performance. Inside, walnut flooring and custom millwork bring warmth and texture, balancing comfort with modern practicality
This project goes beyond adding square footage. It creates a sanctuary—an elevated experience of home where living, creating, and connecting come together in the treetops.

Reflex's designs transport you to another world, where glass transforms into art. The Leaf chandelier suspends and cascades in a dazzling waterfall of petal-like leaves. Shimmering, luminous and enchanting, this is Reflex at their most commanding. Synonymous with luxurious European furniture, Reflex leads the way in contemporary design, building a legacy that puts originality and creativity at the heart of their work. The Leaf chandelier has a crystal mirror support with LED lighting of 2.5W 12V 2700K each. Hand-crafted with individual engravings, the etched glass hanging-leaf strands come in three different sizes, creating a lighting center-piece for any contemporary home that is sure to captivate.
Rich Canaletto walnut with irregular solid edges contrasts with the smooth sleekness of extra clear transparent glass, creating the Monolite Dining Table by Reflex, a table for contemporary living. The 19mm glass base enables light to move freely, creating space and clarity, while the 44mm Radix Canaletto table top is sufficiently robust to host social gatherings and day to day family dining. A dining table for all occasions, the Monolite comes in 3 sizes and is also available in an ebony matte finish, so you can choose a table that perfectly complements your home.
Vela is a chair distinguished by a unique character, conceived for the most refined and elegant domestic spaces. The Pininfarina team has in fact worked to convey dynamic and sensual lines to the product, able to transmit a strong sense of lightness. Vela is made of two independent shells: the seatback shell has in fact been suspended on the seat shell. An accurate choice of the materials - smooth leather for the external shell and nabuk or leather for the interior - emphasizes the contrast among the surfaces. Strong is the link with the car bodies: the exterior, characterized by a plastic effect, communicates protection while the interior, softer, transmits a sense of comfort. The chair legs have been carefully designed: the smoothed section accentuates the combination of solidity and lightness, the features characterizing the product. Made in Italy.

With natural wood and bold black metal elements, this staircase creates a stunning modern architectural statement. The treads seem to float upward, balanced upon the Seattle stringer from the Prestige Metal Line. Black horizontal metal rods form a sleek balustrade system that echoes the stringer's industrial aesthetic. An oak horizontal handrail adds warmth and provides a comfortable grip, creating balance between the strong metal framework and natural wood elements.

This historic home in Oak Park was in need of updating, with deferred maintenance inside and out requiring extensive work. This created an opportunity to rethink the house for a modern family in the 21st century, with an updated plan, a strong connection to the yard from the kitchen and new mudroom, covered patio, and flexible rooms for work-at-home, gym, or guest functions. The insulation and mechanical systems were upgraded to Phius levels, and a solar PV array added to meet annual net zero energy performance. With minimal upfront energy expenditure, the home’s operational carbon was reduced by 100%, and the house is a delightful place for the young family to grow into.

This detail shot highlights a farmhouse apron-front sink paired with a black pull-down faucet, creating a strong focal point within the galley layout. White shaker cabinets and quartz countertops keep the space clean and bright, while a classic subway tile backsplash adds texture. Integrated appliances and warm wood flooring balance the crisp finishes with subtle contrast.

This home office is heavily influenced by rock-inspired energy, defined by a bold black and red color-drenched palette. Strong contrasts and saturated tones create a high-impact atmosphere, while clean modern lines keep the space intentional and controlled. Textural elements and moody lighting add depth, resulting in a workspace that feels edgy, focused, and unapologetically expressive.

The result feels polished and elevated while still at home in its Colorado mountain setting.

Proposal for the master bathroom of our client's home in rural France.
While the rest of the house embraces a strong farmhouse aesthetic, the clients envisioned their main bathroom with a more contemporary feel. As the home's plumbing required a complete overhaul, they decided to start entirely from scratch.
A freestanding bathtub became the focal point of the space, surrounded by marble-clad half walls, marble flooring and soft taupe walls, creating a calm and understated palette.
We proposed using the same banana yellow sheer curtains featured in the living room to establish continuity throughout the home. Their soft hue allows the sun's rays to gently filter through and fall onto the bathtub, making daytime bathing an even more pleasant and restorative experience.
The result is a bathroom that feels serene, modern and warm, balancing contemporary simplicity with the relaxed spirit of the French countryside.
