Our clients had just recently closed on their new house in Stapleton and were excited to transform it into their perfect forever home. They wanted to remodel the entire first floor to create a more open floor plan and develop a smoother flow through the house that better fit the needs of their family. The original layout consisted of several small rooms that just weren’t very functional, so we decided to remove the walls that were breaking up the space and restructure the first floor to create a wonderfully open feel.
After removing the existing walls, we rearranged their spaces to give them an office at the front of the house, a large living room, and a large dining room that connects seamlessly with the kitchen. We also wanted to center the foyer in the home and allow more light to travel through the first floor, so we replaced their existing doors with beautiful custom sliding doors to the back yard and a gorgeous walnut door with side lights to greet guests at the front of their home.
Living Room
Our clients wanted a living room that could accommodate an inviting sectional, a baby grand piano, and plenty of space for family game nights. So, we transformed what had been a small office and sitting room into a large open living room with custom wood columns. We wanted to avoid making the home feel too vast and monumental, so we designed custom beams and columns to define spaces and to make the house feel like a home. Aesthetically we wanted their home to be soft and inviting, so we utilized a neutral color palette with occasional accents of muted blues and greens.
Dining Room
Our clients were also looking for a large dining room that was open to the rest of the home and perfect for big family gatherings. So, we removed what had been a small family room and eat-in dining area to create a spacious dining room with a fireplace and bar. We added custom cabinetry to the bar area with open shelving for displaying and designed a custom surround for their fireplace that ties in with the wood work we designed for their living room. We brought in the tones and materiality from the kitchen to unite the spaces and added a mixed metal light fixture to bring the space together
Kitchen
We wanted the kitchen to be a real show stopper and carry through the calm muted tones we were utilizing throughout their home. We reoriented the kitchen to allow for a big beautiful custom island and to give us the opportunity for a focal wall with cooktop and range hood. Their custom island was perfectly complimented with a dramatic quartz counter top and oversized pendants making it the real center of their home. Since they enter the kitchen first when coming from their detached garage, we included a small mud-room area right by the back door to catch everyone’s coats and shoes as they come in. We also created a new walk-in pantry with plenty of open storage and a fun chalkboard door for writing notes, recipes, and grocery lists.
Office
We transformed the original dining room into a handsome office at the front of the house. We designed custom walnut built-ins to house all of their books, and added glass french doors to give them a bit of privacy without making the space too closed off. We painted the room a deep muted blue to create a glimpse of rich color through the french doors
Powder Room
The powder room is a wonderful play on textures. We used a neutral palette with contrasting tones to create dramatic moments in this little space with accents of brushed gold.
Master Bathroom
The existing master bathroom had an awkward layout and outdated finishes, so we redesigned the space to create a clean layout with a dream worthy shower. We continued to use neutral tones that tie in with the rest of the home, but had fun playing with tile textures and patterns to create an eye-catching vanity. The wood-look tile planks along the floor provide a soft backdrop for their new free-standing bathtub and contrast beautifully with the deep ash finish on the cabinetry.

With its decorative mouldings and traditional influences throughout the home, this renovation is a classic take on modernism. Approaching the gates to the property, rich red brick surrounds a beautiful traditional white lacquered timber door with lead lite coloured panels on either side. Entering into the home, deep jarrah planked timber floors lead the way through to the kitchen and living areas.
The kitchen was small for my client who loved to cook as well as her daughter’s love for baking, needing a re- configure of the space to allow the kitchen to flow and function between the existing kitchen and small meals room. Outdated cabinetry made their home look tired and needed a fresh take on the newly architecturally extended home.
Traditional pairings of fresh whites, marbles and glass are delicately detailed within the design, modernising the homes interior. Lacquered chalky slabbed fronts surrounded by marbled benches and splashbacks, the introduction of curves to the isolated hood and island centre piece and depth injected with deep navy to create a monochrome palette. Warmth is then allowed in by brass hardware, reeded glass, a play on texture with tiles and warmly lit surfaces. Now a cook’s kitchen.

The Beauty of Rich Finishes
The designer instills a dramatic, moody and deeply textured aesthetic in the kitchen space. The walnut wood combined with dark and moody tones, creates an intimate ambiance making this large open space feel grounded, stable, and welcoming. Layered lighting from natural light and track lighting, along with integrated high-end appliances, adds to the striking beauty.
The kitchen exudes warmth and elegance characterized by the luxurious Topos Walnut wood cabinets with their rich color and naturally smooth grain. The walnut palette, combined with the textured dark grey Kiruna cabinets and the marble-like Laurent stone—which showcases a deep brown hue with integrated gold and copper veining—creates a powerful and beautiful atmosphere.
The design is a highly organized layout that focuses on the homeowner’s every day and entertaining lifestyle, emphasizing functionality, efficiency, and streamlined aesthetics.
The back kitchen/butler pantry area was designed to help keep the main kitchen clean and organized. Bulk cooking will take place in the back kitchen area, which has a full suite of appliances. The pantry is accessible yet hidden from the main kitchen via a passage door concealed within the main kitchen.
The downstairs bar area has a sink, dishwasher, beverage fridge and drawer microwave. Designed for easy functionality, it offers ample counter space for small appliances like a juicer, blender, or tea kettle, allowing for refreshment after using the adjacent home gym.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Goran and his team at Leight Westchester are highly reliable, trustworthy and just fantastic! We were more than satisfied with Goran’s professional advice as well as attention to details.

This wonderful Denver bathroom is a relaxing retreat in an urban environment! Our client wanted a deep blue escape, and we achieved that through various aesthetic applications. Deep blue painted walls and dancing blue glass mosaic move throughout the space. We introduced concrete-look floor tiles for a bit of natural stone earthiness. The rich colors are contrasted by sharp whites and bright chromes.

The dark wood kitchen with stone tile flooring exudes a rich and inviting ambiance, combining the stately elegance of dark wood with the durability and natural beauty of stone.
The dominant feature of this kitchen is the dark wood cabinetry, crafted from deep-toned woods like mahogany, cherry, or espresso-stained oak. The cabinetry's fine craftsmanship and intricate details lend an air of sophistication to the space, while the dark wood's grain patterns add depth and character. The contrast between the dark wood and the stone tile flooring creates a dramatic and visually appealing effect.
The stone tile flooring, often featuring materials such as travertine, slate, or limestone, provides a rugged and textured foundation. The natural variation and earthy hues of the stone tiles add warmth and authenticity to the kitchen, making it not only beautiful but also highly practical, as stone tiles are easy to clean and maintain.
Countertops in this kitchen typically feature dark stone surfaces, such as granite or soapstone, which echo the deep tones of the wood cabinetry. These surfaces are not only visually appealing but also incredibly durable, making them ideal for food preparation and cooking.
Overhead pendant lights with metal or glass accents offer functional illumination while adding a touch of contemporary style. The pendant fixtures may incorporate sleek and modern designs to complement the overall aesthetic.
The walls are often painted in neutral colors, such as soft gray or muted beige, allowing the dark wood and stone elements to remain the focal point. Natural light streams through the kitchen's windows, creating a sense of brightness and warmth that contrasts with the dark wood, adding balance to the space.
The dark wood kitchen with stone tile flooring is a perfect blend of sophistication and natural beauty. It's a space that exudes a sense of timeless elegance and provides a practical and visually striking environment for culinary creativity and gathering with family and friends.

This 1940’s Colonial style home in Boston’s Jamaica Plain had strong bones and rich character but lacked the space, modern conveniences, and storage that our clients desired. While they wished to retain the look of the exterior, as well as some of the home’s unique original features,, the kitchen and dining room needed to be reimagined in design, layout, and functionality.
Key considerations were the compact size of the home and a smaller lot that didn’t give our client the flexibility of an addition. Without adding on to the existing floor plan, we needed to find a way to gain vital extra space in the kitchen, which, with walls enclosing it on all sides, was dark and disconnected from the rest of the house. Our design team coordinated with our client to reconfigure the space by opening up the wall between the dining room and the kitchen to add a few extra inches – just enough to create an open flow between the two rooms. With the removal of that wall, the formerly dark kitchen was flooded with the natural light coming from the existing dining room windows, making the entire space feel brighter and more cohesive.
The original kitchen dated back to the mid-20th century and lacked, among other conveniences, a dishwasher, enough storage, or even countertop space for food prep. In redesigning the kitchen, we visually expanded the space by incorporating white upper cabinetry, open shelving, and white subway tiles extending from the backsplash to the ceiling. A new, larger window featuring a deep stone sill brought in even more light, and the appliances and apron sink were selected to retain the traditional look of the home while delivering modern functionality.
Considering how our client would use this space, we focused on creating a purposeful workspace and storage, ensuring that there was ample countertop space and cabinetry between the sink and range. A multi-purpose cabinet and countertop which serves as a microwave station and food service area were added to the backside of the dining room wall, packing a lot of utility into a small space.
Prior to this renovation, our client had painted the dining room in Mount Saint Anne by Benjamin Moore, a tranquil blue-gray that suited the room well and allowed the original built-in corner cabinetry to stand out, highlighting the home’s charm. With the newly opened floor plan extending into the kitchen, we selected a deep custom color for the base cabinets, Yorktowne Green by Benjamin Moore, to complement the dining room and pull all of the elements together in a cohesive space.
This transformation was remarkable, both functionally and visually. The kitchen is now a bright and inviting space that flows seamlessly into the rest of the house. The homeowners are thrilled with the results, and the small changes we incorporated that made a big difference in the overall feel and functionality of the space.

This kitchen blends rustic charm with modern sophistication, creating a warm and inviting space. The island, range hood, and coffee station are painted in Urbane Bronze, a rich, moody hue that adds depth (though the true color is hard to capture in photos). To maintain cohesion in the open-concept design, the same deep tones were carried into the TV wall and dry bar in the family room.
We used brass and black accents throughout the space. The Chantilly Quartzite island countertop is a true statement piece, featuring soft cream tones with with veining that beautifully ties into the accent cabinetry. The perimeter countertops and dry bar, in a warm black Cambria Quartz with delicate cream veining, complement the island’s light tones while adding rich contrast. A distressed cream tile backsplash serves as the perfect bridge, pulling in hues from both the island and perimeter, seamlessly blending the elements for a cohesive and thoughtfully layered design. Solid gray-washed alder wood cabinets provide ample storage while adding a natural, timeworn texture that enhances the rustic aesthetic. The result is a beautifully curated space where every detail works in harmony.

Reimagining an Urban Classic
Perched high above San Francisco’s Cow Hollow neighborhood, this meticulously reimagined residence represents a thoughtful transformation of a classic urban home into a contemporary, light-filled sanctuary. The project involved a comprehensive renovation paired with both vertical and horizontal expansion, dramatically increasing the home’s footprint while enhancing its relationship to sweeping views of the Bay, the Palace of Fine Arts, and the surrounding hillside neighborhoods.
The design strategy focused on opening the home to light, air, and vistas—elements often constrained in the dense urban fabric of San Francisco. By extending the structure upward and outward, the architects created a dynamic four-level residence that unfolds gradually, culminating in expansive living spaces and rooftop terraces oriented toward panoramic city and water views.
Architecture that Frames the View
At the heart of the design is a careful orchestration of sightlines and natural light. Large black-framed windows punctuate the façade and interior spaces, deliberately positioned to capture iconic San Francisco vistas while flooding the home with daylight. The architecture prioritizes openness, allowing rooms to flow seamlessly while maintaining a strong visual connection to the surrounding landscape.
A dramatic skylight above the central stairwell anchors the vertical circulation of the home. This architectural gesture not only brings daylight deep into the interior but also reinforces the sense of spatial continuity between floors.
Warm Modern Interiors
Inside, the home balances architectural clarity with warm materiality. Wide-plank oak floors run throughout the residence, creating visual cohesion and grounding the interiors with natural warmth. Custom walnut millwork—integrated shelving, cabinetry, and wall panels—introduces depth and texture while complementing the clean lines of the architecture.
The interiors are intentionally restrained yet richly layered. Contemporary furnishings, sculptural lighting, and curated artwork add personality while maintaining the calm, sophisticated palette that defines the home.
The Social Heart of the Home
The main living level serves as the social centerpiece of the residence. An open-plan kitchen, dining area, and lounge space unfold toward the view, creating an environment that feels both expansive and intimate.
A sculptural marble island anchors the kitchen, functioning as both workspace and gathering hub. Surrounded by walnut cabinetry and professional-grade appliances, the kitchen merges elegance with functionality. Above, a cascading chandelier introduces a sense of vertical movement, reflecting the home’s emphasis on light and architectural rhythm.
Living areas are arranged to encourage conversation and connection. Generous seating, layered rugs, and thoughtful lighting define distinct zones within the open plan while maintaining uninterrupted sightlines toward the cityscape beyond.
Private Retreats Above the City
Upper levels of the home are dedicated to quieter, more intimate spaces. The primary suite is conceived as a private retreat, where expansive windows frame treetop views and invite natural light throughout the day.
The accompanying bathroom continues the home’s refined material palette. Marble surfaces, warm wood cabinetry, and brushed brass fixtures create a spa-like environment that balances luxury with tranquility.
Additional bedrooms and flexible living spaces offer comfort for family and guests, each designed with the same attention to light, proportion, and material richness.
Spaces for Entertaining
Lower levels provide additional areas for gathering and entertaining. A lounge and bar area offer a relaxed setting for hosting, while custom wine storage adds a sophisticated touch for collectors and enthusiasts.
These spaces transition easily to outdoor areas, reinforcing the home’s emphasis on indoor-outdoor living.
A Rooftop Above the Neighborhood
The transformation extends beyond the interior to include thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. A landscaped rear yard introduces greenery and privacy at ground level, offering a serene urban escape.
Above it all, the rooftop terrace becomes the crown jewel of the residence. Elevated above the neighborhood, it provides sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay and the Palace of Fine Arts. Comfortable seating areas, lush planters, and open sky create an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, sunset gatherings, or quiet moments overlooking the city.
A Contemporary Urban Sanctuary
The completed residence demonstrates the power of thoughtful renovation and expansion within a historic urban neighborhood. By combining contemporary architecture, warm materiality, and an intentional relationship to the surrounding landscape, the project transforms a traditional San Francisco home into a modern sanctuary above the city.

Stunning Tuscan Villa set atop the southern hills of Temecula overlooking Temecula's wine country. Beautiful Custom Rod Iron railings topped with Deep cherry wood hand rails create a warm Mediterranean feel to this inviting curved staircase. Rich imported Italian Carpets lead the way up laid between rich cherry treads contrasted with clean white skirting.

Once you step into the entrance at our Ruyteplaats project, you are immediately drawn towards the sprawling views across Hout Bay and the ocean below.
Cheryl wanted this space to feel warm and inviting, pulling you in towards the areas that lie beyond, by designing bespoke items with lots of rich woods, texture and a colour palette of Neutrals, Deep Blue Jewel tones and rich Tans.
The double volume entrance area called for bold light fittings in the form of 3 x Black pendants which hang at various heights, never detracting from the views ahead.
A gorgeous, round, bespoke flower table with hand carved detailing on the base, holds hand blown glass vases with a colourful array of fresh flowers, which welcomes one and causes one to pause here and take a breath, before taking in the rest of the open plan space.
Two bespoke custom designed consol tables flank the striking front door.
Cheryl loves layering with textures to create depth, and the wall paper used on these walls have just the right amount of tactility to add more interest.
Plants in wicker baskets gives life to any space, and the custom designed screen behind the plants seperate the Library from the Entrance Hall, giving the Library a bit of privacy but still allowing maximum light in this space.
It’s all in the details, always and in all ways.

For this project, we transformed the top floor of a Park Slope brownstone into a modern, lightfilled
home tailored to the needs of a busy couple. The original space was outdated and lacked
cohesion, so our design focused on creating a harmonious and functional layout that reflects the
clients’ lifestyle while introducing moments of drama and creativity.
At the heart of the penthouse is an open-concept dining room, living room, and kitchen. The
living room accommodates multiple areas, including a cozy seating nook illuminated by
multicolored glass pendant lights. A dramatic custom-built feature spans the entire length of the
living room, integrating storage, display areas, and a unique guardwall that separates the
staircase to the couple's rooftop garden from the living space. This built-in showcases a dynamic
geometric design, with select sections backed in soft mauve for depth and visual interest. Along
the front of the space, a bespoke oak window seat with modern slatted wood fronts conceals the
AC and radiators while providing ample storage. The main seating area centers around a creamy
marble fireplace surround, a refined focal point in the living area. Wide-plank oak flooring
extends throughout the apartment and up the staircase, where a minimal aesthetic enhances the
clean, modern feel.
The kitchen continues the theme of modern sophistication with a palette of soft white lacquered
lower cabinets and oak upper cabinetry. The countertops and backsplash are crafted from a
striking quartzite in cream, peach, and mauve tones, adding a subtle vibrancy to the space. A
cream-enameled range takes center stage, complemented by a hidden coffee station and a
dedicated cabinet for AV supplies, ensuring a clutter-free aesthetic.
The hall guest bathroom is a playful yet refined mix of materials and textures. Peach-toned
concrete tiles cover the walls, while the floor features cream zellige tiles. Brass fixtures, a brass
mirror, and a brass wall sconce lend a touch of warmth and luxury, harmonizing with the custom
pecan-veneered vanity and custom concrete sink,
The primary bedroom suite is a serene retreat, painted in a rich, deep blue that sets a calming
tone. Accessed through a bespoke millwork closet, the ensuite bathroom is a small yet striking
space, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship. The rear wall of the shower is clad in floor-toceiling
slabs of light blue quartzite, creating a dramatic focal point visible from the bedroom.
This quartzite extends seamlessly to form a sculptural bench within the shower, which transitions
outward into a custom sink. Beneath the sink, two wood drawers provide discreet storage. The
remaining walls are finished in soft beige Moroccan tadelakt plaster, adding a warm contrast to
the cool tones of the quartzite.
This Park Slope penthouse is a carefully curated blend of modern elegance and thoughtful
functionality, with bespoke details and rich materiality that celebrate both the character of the
space and the needs of its owners.
