beautiful furniture around an Asian flare for design - this mix of contemporary pulled together beautifully from their large house downsizing to this 3000 sq.ft condo.

The Laundry Room was painted to match the Kitchen. We added a custom backsplash and a new top-load washer with matching dryer.

A retirement home in the woods of Concord NH. We designed this home for a couple downsizing their lifestyle as they prepared for retirement. Comfort and relaxation were key concepts yet the living space allows for easy entertaining of friends and family.

New cabinetry to the right of the Refrigerator added double the storage, a dedicated coffee area and a second pantry.

A retiring couple decided to downsize and move into this condominium in Winnetka. We decided to remove as many walls as possible within the Associations limits to bring as much light into this open plan.

The option to downsize was not an option for the empty nesters who have lived in this home for over twenty-five years. Situated in TMR, the sprawling home has been the venue for many social events, dinner parties and family celebrations. With grown children living abroad, and grand children on the way, it was important that the new kitchen be highly functional and conducive to hosting informal, yet large family gatherings.
The kitchen had been relocated to the garage in the late eighties during a large renovation and was looking tired. Eight foot concrete ceilings meant the new materials and design had to create the illusion of height and light. White lacquered doors and integrated fridge panels extend to the ceiling and cast a bright reflection into the room. The teak dining table and chairs were the only elements to preserve from the old kitchen, and influenced the direction of materials to be incorporated into the new design. The island and selected lower cabinetry are made of butternut and oiled in a matte finish that relates to the teak dining set. Oversized tiles on the heated floors resemble soft concrete.
The mandate for the second floor included the overhaul of the master ensuite, to create his and hers closets, and a library. Walls were relocated and the floor plan reconfigured to create a luxurious ensuite of dramatic proportions. A walk-in shower, partitioned toilet area, and 18’ vanity are among many details that add visual interest and comfort.
Minimal white oak panels wrap around from the bedroom into the ensuite, and integrate two full-height pocket doors in the same material.
