camilleriparismode projects and design team were approached to rethink a previously unused double height room in a wonderful villa. the lower part of the room was planned as a sitting and dining area, the sub level above as a tv den and games room. as the occupants enjoy their time together as a family, as well as their shared love of books, a floor-to-ceiling library was an ideal way of using and linking the large volume. the large library covers one wall of the room spilling into the den area above. it is given a sense of movement by the differing sizes of the verticals and shelves, broken up by randomly placed closed cupboards. the floating marble fireplace at the base of the library unit helps achieve a feeling of lightness despite it being a complex structure, while offering a cosy atmosphere to the family area below. the split-level den is reached via a solid oak staircase, below which is a custom made wine room. the staircase is concealed from the dining area by a high wall, painted in a bold colour on which a collection of paintings is displayed. photos by: brian grech

Aspen Drive Whistler Retreat by Falken Reynolds. “The studio’s work in Whistler is particularly minimalistic and sophisticated yet still achieves the cozy feel of a mountain retreat” – Alpine Modern Magazine Photo: Janis Nicolay

This beautiful office space was renovated to create a warm, modern, and sleek environment. The colour palette used here is black and white with accents of red. Another was accents were applied is by the artificial plants. These plants give life to the space and compliment the present colour scheme. Polished surfaces and finishes were used to create a modern, sleek look.

This guest bedroom needed to channel a luxury Santa Fe resort with luxurious linens, warm colors and a balance of natural elements: wood, stone, and metal. The graphical duvet and bohemian-style pillows are inviting on the wood and leather-inset bed. Additional sleeping options were necessary, so a custom Murphy Bed was made with copper laminate panels, bronze branch pulls, and a built-in desk with hidden USB charging ports that doubles the bed support. Warm wool drapery panels feature a black and white graphic leading edge tape with taupe linen sheers. Large scale nature prints give a modern touch. A comfy tufted chair sits in the reading area of this relaxing retreat.

Matte black makes for a great design element that anchors the countertops in a design, without being overbearing. The neutral tones, silver grey flakes and black crystals in our Saint Henry Black Granite adds a visual interest and great alternative to Black Absolute honed which shows fingerprints easily, whereas Saint Henry Black Granite does not.
