Amazing how an old ladder, old life jackets, and fish net from yard sales paired with a repo propeller from hobby lobby make the most amazing display on the wall.

Location: New York, NY, United States This Loft was tastefully renovated back in the '90s, but was due for an update and an expansion of the kitchen and dining areas to accommodate the client's cooking skills and entertaining needs. EnlargIing the island and adding cabinetry to delineate the office, bar and dining areas was a priority. The bathroom was updated to feel like a tranquil spa with beautiful new tile, plumbing fixtures and cabinets. Our biggest challenge was coordinating the entire renovation while our client was out of town for the Summer! Photographed by: James Salomon

Built in 2024 by Cutuli Homes, this custom detached accessory dwelling unit was designed as a true mother-in-law home—a private, beautifully finished residence that allows three generations of one family to live close together while maintaining their own individual spaces. The DADU was built as a companion to the homeowners' main residence, which Cutuli Homes had extensively remodeled and expanded two years earlier. Rather than treating the new structure as an afterthought, the goal was to create a home that felt architecturally connected to the existing property. Its traditional exterior, white siding, steeply pitched roof, generous windows and carefully proportioned trim give the small residence the character of an established home. The project was created for the homeowners' mother, who downsized from her large lakefront home in the Midwest to move closer to her family and young grandchild. The result captures one of the greatest advantages of multigenerational living: family and shared community just steps away, balanced with the independence, privacy and comfort of a home of her own. Inside, every inch was carefully considered. The compact footprint feels remarkably open thanks to a vaulted, white-paneled ceiling, abundant natural light, tall windows and an open vertical design that draws the eye upward. A loft level expands the usable living space without sacrificing the airy feeling of the main floor. Traditional white Shaker-style cabinetry provides extensive built-in storage throughout the home and gives the interior a clean, timeless architectural character. In the kitchen, cabinetry extends upward to take advantage of the available height, while warm neutral countertops and a textured herringbone-pattern backsplash introduce subtle depth and contrast. Stainless-steel appliances are thoughtfully incorporated into the compact layout, creating a highly functional kitchen without overwhelming the living space. One of the home's most charming features is the intimate living area tucked beneath custom built-in cabinetry. A built-in upholstered window-seat-style sofa with drawers below transforms what could have been unused space into a comfortable place to read, relax or visit. Across from it, a contemporary fireplace is integrated into a compact feature wall, with a wood display ledge above providing space for artwork, plants and personal collections. Warm wood accents soften the predominantly white interior. Natural wood ledges, shelving, flooring and the loft ladder bring warmth and texture to the rooms, while greenery and personal furnishings give the home the comfortable character of a full-size residence rather than a conventional accessory dwelling unit. The private sleeping area demonstrates the same emphasis on intelligent space planning. Built-in cabinetry surrounds the bed and continues overhead, providing substantial storage without requiring bulky freestanding furniture. A softly textured wall treatment, warm wood shelving and abundant natural light make the compact bedroom feel inviting and finished. Above, the loft takes advantage of the dramatic roofline with a white tongue-and-groove style paneled ceiling extending from wall to wall. Built-in storage is incorporated beneath the sloped portions of the ceiling, turning otherwise difficult spaces into useful cabinetry while preserving an open central area for a desk, music, hobbies or additional flexible living space. Even the exterior reflects the home's attention to detail. Large windows bring daylight deep into the interior, while the private patio extends the living space outdoors. Traditional siding and trim allow the DADU to complement the architecture of the main residence while still having an identity of its own. At every turn, this project demonstrates that downsizing does not have to mean compromising on craftsmanship, beauty, storage or individuality. Through custom cabinetry, creative built-ins, vertical space planning and carefully considered architectural details, Cutuli Homes transformed a modest footprint into an elegant and highly personalized residence. More than simply a DADU, this is a thoughtfully designed multigenerational home—close enough for grandparents, parents and grandchildren to share everyday life, while giving everyone the privacy and independence of having a place of their own.

Techplan house interior designed by STUDIO KONDE Konrad Idaszewski Architekt, bringing together warm timber, refined stone surfaces and soft upholstered furniture within a clean contemporary setting. Project details: https://conde.pl/portfolio/gotowy-projekt-wnetrz-domu-techplan/ . Techplan is part of the Modelowedomy collection of three individually configurable houses, distinguished by its flat-roof architecture and open connection between the living room, dining area and kitchen. The project also reflects the work of an interior architect in Poznań, with carefully planned proportions and materials supporting both everyday comfort and a cohesive visual identity. Warm oak-toned cabinetry covers the kitchen wall and creates a calm architectural backdrop for the dining area. Natural timber is paired with a dark stone worktop and backsplash, while soft grey upholstery and a pale stone dining table introduce lighter elements. Large glazing on the right brings daylight into the room and visually connects the dining space with the garden. At the centre, a large round dining table creates a generous setting for shared meals and gatherings. Its pale stone-effect top has delicate grey veining and is framed by a warm timber edge. A substantial cylindrical wooden base gives the table a sculptural appearance while keeping the floor area around it visually open. Six rounded dining chairs in textured grey fabric surround the tabletop, with curved backs and generously padded seats providing a comfortable contrast to the harder stone surface. Behind the dining area, the kitchen is integrated almost entirely into a continuous wall of natural wood cabinetry. Tall vertical fronts extend across the wall, concealing storage and appliances within a uniform timber composition. A black stone backsplash runs horizontally across the working area, marked by expressive pale veining and illuminated from above by a continuous LED strip. The dark worktop creates a strong contrast with the oak fronts and visually connects the kitchen with the black details of the dining accessories. A large textured pendant hangs directly above the dining table, its broad rounded shade adding warmth and scale to the room. Its ribbed fabric surface relates naturally to the tactile upholstery of the chairs, while a smaller black cylindrical pendant provides a discreet accent above the kitchen worktop. Together, the two fixtures establish distinct lighting zones without interrupting the clean geometry of the interior. The dining table is styled with a restrained arrangement of dark ceramic vessels and a shallow round tray. Their black and charcoal tones repeat the colour of the kitchen backsplash, creating a subtle visual link between the two areas. Fine material contrasts are particularly visible here, from the veined stone surface and natural wood grain to the coarse chair upholstery and textured pendant shade. Extensive glazing along the right-hand side fills the dining area with natural light and opens the interior towards the greenery outside. The pale floor and walls amplify the daylight, while the warm timber cabinetry prevents the space from feeling overly stark. This combination of oak, dark stone, textured upholstery, sculptural lighting and generous glazing gives the Techplan kitchen and dining area a sophisticated yet welcoming character, consistent with the contemporary residential interiors created by STUDIO KONDE in Poznań.

Designed by Sue Tinker of Closet Works This expansive shelving unit has been thoughtfully designed to satisfy the shoe lover, never leaving a pair out of place. The glass is an elegant feature which allows the LED lights to shine all throughout the unit.

Our clients on this project, a busy young North Vancouver family, requested that we incorporate some important inherited family heirloom pieces into their spaces while keeping to an otherwise modern aesthetic. In order to successfully mix furniture of different styles and periods we kept the wood tones and colour palette consistent, working primarily with walnut and charcoal greys and accenting with bright orange for a bit of fun. The mix of an heirloom walnut dining table with some mid-century dining chairs, a Nelson bubble light fixture, and a few nature inspired pieces like the tree stump tables, make for a finished space that is indeed very modern.
