This travertine marble sculpture is entitled 'Hammer and Wheel#2'. It is located at a residence in Beverly Hills, California. In this version of 'Hammer and Wheel', the 'millstone' portion of the sculpture becomes more of an emanation. It has the quality of being a sun.

With adjacent neighbors within a fairly dense section of Paradise Valley, Arizona, C.P. Drewett sought to provide a tranquil retreat for a new-to-the-Valley surgeon and his family who were seeking the modernism they loved though had never lived in. With a goal of consuming all possible site lines and views while maintaining autonomy, a portion of the house — including the entry, office, and master bedroom wing — is subterranean. This subterranean nature of the home provides interior grandeur for guests but offers a welcoming and humble approach, fully satisfying the clients requests. While the lot has an east-west orientation, the home was designed to capture mainly north and south light which is more desirable and soothing. The architecture’s interior loftiness is created with overlapping, undulating planes of plaster, glass, and steel. The woven nature of horizontal planes throughout the living spaces provides an uplifting sense, inviting a symphony of light to enter the space. The more voluminous public spaces are comprised of stone-clad massing elements which convert into a desert pavilion embracing the outdoor spaces. Every room opens to exterior spaces providing a dramatic embrace of home to natural environment. Grand Award winner for Best Interior Design of a Custom Home The material palette began with a rich, tonal, large-format Quartzite stone cladding. The stone’s tones gaveforth the rest of the material palette including a champagne-colored metal fascia, a tonal stucco system, and ceilings clad with hemlock, a tight-grained but softer wood that was tonally perfect with the rest of the materials. The interior case goods and wood-wrapped openings further contribute to the tonal harmony of architecture and materials. Grand Award Winner for Best Indoor Outdoor Lifestyle for a Home This award-winning project was recognized at the 2020 Gold Nugget Awards with two Grand Awards, one for Best Indoor/Outdoor Lifestyle for a Home, and another for Best Interior Design of a One of a Kind or Custom Home. At the 2020 Design Excellence Awards and Gala presented by ASID AZ North, Ownby Design received five awards for Tonal Harmony. The project was recognized for 1st place – Bathroom; 3rd place – Furniture; 1st place – Kitchen; 1st place – Outdoor Living; and 2nd place – Residence over 6,000 square ft. Congratulations to Claire Ownby, Kalysha Manzo, and the entire Ownby Design team. Tonal Harmony was also featured on the cover of the July/August 2020 issue of Luxe Interiors + Design and received a 14-page editorial feature entitled “A Place in the Sun” within the magazine.

A closeup of my painting entitled "Summer Grasses" 2007. Size: 36" x 48", oil on canvas. The client loves the way I depict grasses. Below are custom ink drawings I did of her favorite pets (deceased).

This Foyer had to be a show stopper. It's the first thing you see when you enter this custom built, 12,000 square foot home. The marble border in the foyer was made to custom fit this space, with 3 different colors of marble, perfectly complementing the carrara tile. The gray painted and applied moulding clad walls complement the hand applied silver leaf ceiling. The Aerin Lauder Chandelier from Circa lighting shines beautifully in this space. There is no detail left undone in this Foyer, we think it makes a lasting impression! Joe Kwon Photography

In the guest bedroom, vintage Mid-Century Danish sconces with string globes stand guard over the guest bed. The painting by family cousin and artist James DeWoody is an abstraction of an engraving by Bill Traylor from 1840 In the guest bedroom, entitled Man Feeding a Bear an ear of Corn.
