Cove House is a contemporary shoreline sanctuary in the lake region of New Hampshire. The wooded property, which includes several accessory outbuildings and an existing guest cottage, makes up a private micro-cove. The new modern house and existing traditional cottage turn both toward the lake and to each other. Thoughtful siting and landscape architecture establish a connective flow between the two residences, with a notched stone courtyard in the house inviting visitors to go back and forth. Inspired by the craftsmanship of an antique mahogany powerboat, Cove House pursues architectural quality and beauty at the highest level. The design uses materiality, texture, and daylight to balance livability and artistry. The main entrance leads through a slot-canyon-like hall where a sequence of monumental granite walls reveals a glorious, light-filled living room. A steel moment frame spanning two levels imparts unobstructed panoramic views of the lake. The magnetism of the New Hampshire waterfront is equalized by a coordinated series of openings, which attune daylight throughout the interior. Large sliding glass doors and windows draw light through the courtyard and into the home’s core – a bright and lofty kitchen. Below the kitchen, a walkout patio illuminates a refined wine-tasting room­­. Near the front entry, a gracious granite and steel stair delivers daylight to each level though open risers and glass balustrades. Skylights draw light from above and cast grazing shadows against the textured tile walls of the upper bathrooms. “We aimed to create a “beautiful reward” and an environment that our clients will enjoy for the rest of their lives.” – Marcus Gleysteen

This powder room makes a bold statement through rich color, texture, and sculptural lighting. Deep green walls envelop the space, creating an intimate backdrop for the graphic black tile wall with contrasting grout lines. The layered materials establish depth while maintaining a clean, modern composition. A floating live-edge wood vanity introduces warmth and organic movement, topped with a substantial stone vessel sink that reinforces the natural material palette. The framed mirror adds a refined architectural touch, reflecting subtle ceiling detailing and enhancing the room’s sense of dimension. Suspended globe pendants with brass accents flank the mirror symmetrically, providing soft ambient light and a sculptural focal point. Thoughtful styling elements complete the vignette, resulting in a powder bath that feels artistic, elevated, and confidently designed.

One Raven is a truely unique project that pushes the boundaries of urban density without losing heritage roots. Located in the heart of North Vancouver‘s up and coming moodyville neighbourhood, One Raven will be a beacon on E 3rd. With one of the last remaining heritage buildings on the front of the lot, the project consists of a NetZero high-performance infill duplex, each complete with its suite. This will add 4 new livable units in an infill laneway format with the heritage home complementing the site. The project is built to Level 5 of the BC Energy Step Code meaning it is already at the energy targets for all buildings in 2032, 13 years early! This spectacular and unique project was designed by the talented architect Tina Hubert at Design Studio 8. The passive house inspired townhouses and suites will be accessed via an internal courtyard bi-secting the lot in an east-west orientation parallel to the street. A circulation corridor oriented north-south will be accessed from the sidewalk at the existing stone retaining wall and concrete stair. The site design creates private open spaces yet also fosters connection to the semi-private realm of the inner courtyard. Each townhouse will have access to ground level patios, gardens, balconies and roof decks. The exterior walls are “super” insulated walls that are 12” or more thick with a focus on air-tight detailing. High performance triple pane windows are oriented southward to maximize solar gain in winter and rely on shading devices in the summer. All other windows are located to promote natural ventilation and to reduce energy losses. The highly air-tight building (0.93 ACH) utilizes heat recovery ventilation system to exhaust air and bring in fresh air. The building is designed to be compact with a reduced surface area. Maximizing on-site infiltration and rainwater collection will help manage storm water runoff. Ground-oriented landscape lighting and low planting along pathways and lot lines encourage visibility and overlook. The architecture of the building is uniquely modern and clearly establishes it‘s identity, through horizontal and vertical rectilinear forms, asymmetrical window placement, slim profile detailing, standing seam metal cladding, heritage coloured siding, and architectural panelized guardrails.

Designed as a hardworking secondary kitchen, the scullery balances traditional detailing with refined material choices to create a space that is both functional and visually consistent with the rest of the home. Custom inset cabinetry in a soft neutral finish establishes a classic foundation, while warm brass hardware and plumbing fixtures introduce quiet richness. A textured apron-front sink becomes the focal point, centered beneath the window to take advantage of natural light and exterior views. The wall of vertical reeded paneling adds architectural rhythm and subtle dimension, elevating what could have been a purely utilitarian space. Natural stone countertops continue the material story found throughout the home, ensuring continuity from primary spaces into service areas. Layered lighting, including a tailored wall sconce, brings a residential feel to the room rather than a back-of-house aesthetic. This scullery exemplifies the project’s philosophy: even the most functional rooms receive the same level of attention to detail, material quality, and visual cohesion as the primary living spaces.

The kitchen was reoriented to capture direct views of San Francisco Bay while opening fully to the adjacent terrace. Small openings were replaced with large sliding glass doors, bringing southern light deep into the interior. Clean-lined wood cabinetry and a marble waterfall island establish clarity and warmth, while the simplified layout improves flow between cooking, dining, and outdoor living areas.

Perched on a ridge at the edge of a wooded expanse, this mid-century modern home was designed to embrace both the intimate connection to the forest and the expansive valley views beyond. The site—carefully chosen from the family’s 52-acre homestead in western Wisconsin—balances privacy and openness, placing the home at the meeting point of dense trees and rolling fields. The approach winds through the forest, offering only glimpses of the structure. Upon arrival, the parking area is subtly positioned below the main level, reinforcing the sense of discovery. As one ascends the entry walk, the house unfolds, revealing a dramatic view through the two-story living space, anchored by a brick fireplace that extends from floor to ceiling. The asymmetrical roofline lifts upward, accentuating the openness and maximizing natural light. Inside, warm materials define the interiors. Wood ceilings and floors, complemented by concrete-look tile, establish a natural, grounded aesthetic. Black wood-clad beams provide scale and structure, subtly delineating spaces within the open-plan layout. A wood lattice screen partially conceals the dining area from the foyer, offering both openness and privacy. The kitchen—designed for gathering—features a large island, a dedicated baking station, and a breakfast counter that catches morning light while serving as a pass-through to the adjacent patio. Two textured glass sliding panels allow the kitchen to be closed off when needed. Just beyond, a hidden gem: the home’s personal Tiki room, complete with a vintage mug collection and a full bar. To the east, the central fireplace marks the transition to more intimate spaces. A wide stair, integrated with the hearth, leads to the lower level, while a library with a corner window creates a quiet retreat, perfect for reading and taking in the valley beyond. The primary suite extends off this wing, featuring a spa-like bath with a textured tile walk-in shower, a soaking tub positioned for dramatic views, and a private balcony overlooking the landscape. The lower level is designed for family gatherings and extended stays. A secondary fireplace, echoing the materials of the main level, anchors a cozy living area with an adjacent kitchenette. Additional bedrooms and baths provide ample accommodations, while a hidden playhouse under the stair and a dedicated bunk room add playful touches for visiting grandchildren. The home is a balance of openness and enclosure, modernity and warmth—designed not only as a retreat but as a multigenerational gathering place, deeply connected to the land.

Project Overview ​ In one of the most iconic skyscrapers of Moscow City "Neva Towers", SOIA DESIGN was commissioned to design a refined, modern apartment that would harmonize with the panoramic skyline while remaining deeply personal and livable. The result is a bespoke 3D interior design project where every square meter was crafted with purpose and elegance. The Challenge The client approached us with a stunning high-rise space—but also with a complex brief: Maximize views while ensuring privacy Infuse warmth and comfort into a glass and steel environment Introduce high-end materials and modern finishes without making the space feel cold Optimize layout for both entertaining and everyday living Achieve it all remotely Our Solution ✦ Space Planning with Purpose: We reconfigured the layout to establish a seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Custom-built millwork and integrated storage solutions allowed us to keep the space minimalist without compromising on functionality.​ ✦ Warm Modernism: To contrast the building’s steel-and-glass architecture, we brought in natural stone, matte wood finishes, and warm lighting. Curated textures and neutral tones created a soft yet sophisticated atmosphere.​ ✦ 3D Visualization Precision: Leveraging high-end 3D modeling and photorealistic rendering, we presented the design in full detail—allowing the client to walk through the space virtually, make informed decisions, and see exactly how each element would look and feel.​ ✦ Tailored Detailing: Every aspect was custom—from the furniture selection and lighting scenarios to the precise alignment of veined marble in the bathroom. We collaborated with local artisans and international brands to bring this level of refinement to life.​ The Impact The final design not only honored the prestige of Neva Towers but elevated it into a private sanctuary above the city. What began as a challenging high-rise shell became a warm, modern home tailored to the client’s lifestyle.

he dining space at Project Stone Creek is designed to feel inviting, balanced, and effortlessly refined. Natural light pours in through oversized windows, framing the room and creating a calm, open atmosphere that encourages gathering. Soft neutral tones, layered textures, and warm wood flooring establish a timeless foundation, while carefully selected lighting adds a subtle architectural presence overhead. Positioned just off the kitchen and adjacent to the butler’s pantry, this space was intentionally planned to support both everyday meals and more formal entertaining. The result is a dining room that feels connected yet distinct, offering a comfortable setting where design, flow, and livability work in harmony within this custom home in Woodstock.

This secondary living area was designed as a more intimate counterpart to the home’s larger gathering spaces. Vertical wood paneling establishes architectural warmth while soft drapery and layered textiles temper the geometry of the walls. Furnishings were selected with low profiles and generous proportions to maintain comfort without competing with the architectural envelope. A sculptural cocktail table anchors the seating arrangement, introducing material contrast through stone and wood forms. Darker upholstery and muted tonal layering create a grounded atmosphere that reads refined rather than formal. Lighting remains restrained and directional, allowing texture and material variation to carry the visual interest. The result is a living area that functions as a quieter retreat within the home — cohesive with the overall architecture yet intentionally more enveloping in tone and scale.
