In this project we decided to add a vibrant colour Kazak Rug,changing the mood of the whole decor Rugs convey emotions. Beyond the impression created by their beauty, colours, textures and design, rugs also affect mood. Architects and interior designers consider rugs an essential part of a room’s decoration.

Our designer has achieved a stylish look by combining dark cabinets and light-colored marbles.

The design philosophy for this project rests on the belief that memory is an essential part of landscape experience. Instead of recreating the Rain tree in a literal form, the design interprets the sensations it once offered. The shifting light, the sound of leaves, the comfort of shade and the smell of earth. These elements form a quiet yet powerful form of heritage that often goes unrecognised in redevelopment. By carrying these sensations into the new landscape, the project creates continuity within change. It shows how design can hold onto the emotional identity of a place and offer familiarity to residents returning to a transformed site. This approach suggests a way of thinking about urban growth where memory and development do not stand in opposition but work together.

Photos credited to Imagesmith- Scott Smith Open and functional kitchen, access everything with your fingertips. Including the dining room, wood burning stove, and living area. The structural Douglas Fir post and ceiling beams set the tone along with the stain matched 2x6 pine tongue and groove ceiling –this also serves as the finished floor surface at the loft above. Dreaming a cozy feel at the kitchen/dining area a darker stain was used to visual provide a shorter ceiling height to a 9’ plate line. The knotty Alder floating shelves and wall cabinetry share their own natural finish with a chocolate glazing. The island cabinet was of painted maple with a chocolate glaze as well, this unit wanted to look like a piece of furniture that was brought into the ‘cabin’ rather than built-in, again with a value minded approach. The flooring is a pre-finished engineered ½” Oak flooring, and again with the darker shade we wanted to emotionally deliver the cozier feel for the space. Additionally, lighting is essential to a cook’s –and kitchen’s- performance. We needed there to be ample lighting but only wanted to draw attention to the pendants above the island and the dining chandelier. We opted to wash the back splash and the counter tops with hidden LED strips. We then elected to use track lighting over the cooking area with as small of heads as possible and in black to make them ‘go away’ or get lost in the sauce.

This project emerged from a personal and urgent need: the owner, a physician treating immuno-compromised cancer patients during theCOVID-19 pandemic, required a safe environment that balanced strict health protocols with meaningful family connection. Isolation was not a luxury—it was essential. The purchase of a neighboring lot provided a rare chance to create a unified family compound that could support both physical health and emotional wellbeing. The goal was to design a flexible, light-filled space supporting guest rooms, work areas, a media zone, and an indoor basketball court—while maintaining privacy and promoting wellness. Skylights above the stair create a poetic sun dial marking the time.

Wall removal in old kitchens is not uncommon when you target today's lifestyles for your new kitchen. This Southlake Tx kitchen required a complete redesign from the original footprint, walls, appliances, plumbing were all moved during the renovation. **See the before pictures.

Nestled in the heart of nature, this 1,590 sqft home in Santa Barbara was crafted as a tranquil retreat where architecture and landscape exist in perfect harmony. Designed by HENNE Creative, the project blurs the boundaries between indoors and out, creating a seamless connection to the forest that surrounds it. The exposed wooden ceiling beams echo the rhythm of the trees, while expansive glass panels flood the space with natural light transforming sunlight into a design element. A carefully curated palette of organic textures and tones gives the interior a timeless warmth: natural linen upholstery, walnut finishes, and earthy hues create a sense of calm and grounded elegance. This space is designed not just to be lived in, but to be experienced. The open kitchen invites gathering and conversation, while the sunken lounge area and modern fireplace redefine comfort with sculptural softness. Here, minimalism meets emotion. Every detail is intentional, every material chosen to foster a deeper connection with nature. It’s more than just a home it’s a daily ritual of serenity, simplicity, and beauty in its most essential form.
