Remarkable Condo Transformation at Grand Preserve Welcome to our latest project reveal: the stunning transformation of a 2,885 SF luxury condo. Join us as we take you on a room-by-room tour of this beautiful space and share the before and after moments that will leave you speechless. From a completely upgraded kitchen to a luxurious master bathroom, the results of our redesign have created an elegant, comfortable, and inviting living space that perfectly blends style and functionality. Let's dive in and explore the meticulous details of this awe-inspiring transformation. Reworked Front Entryway: A first impression sets the tone for the overall experience, and that is precisely what we aimed to achieve with the front entryway. We reconfigured this area to make it more welcoming and functional, adding stylish yet practical elements that would make any guest feel instantly at home. By removing a large, outdated built-in console, we gave this space an instant refresh and created a more visually harmonious entryway. Completely Upgraded Kitchen: The heart of every home is the kitchen, and this luxury condo got the full treatment. We replaced the old cabinetry with new, contemporary flat front cabinets, and installed white quartz countertops that ooze elegance. The addition of a new white beauty quartz island provides ample space for meal prep or casual dining, while the custom tile backsplash adds a stunning visual element. As the cherry on top, we installed top-of-the-line appliances for the ultimate cooking experience. Open Floor Plan: To create a more open and inviting living space, we removed the wall between the morning room and dining room. This smart design move allowed natural light to flow through the entire space, making it feel even larger and more welcoming. By connecting these two areas visually and physically, we created the perfect setting for entertaining guests or enjoying a cozy night in. Master Bedroom Makeover: The master bedroom needed a breath of fresh air, and that's exactly what it got. We removed the dated carpeting and replaced it with new, elegant flooring that gives the room a more sophisticated and polished appearance. In this sanctuary, you can now enjoy a soothing and tranquil retreat away from everyday life. Master Bath Overhaul: A complete overhaul was in order for the master bathroom, and we went all out to create a spa-like oasis. The once-cramped space was opened up, and new, stunning flooring was installed. We added custom cabinetry for optimal storage and organization, and topped them with gorgeous new white quartz countertops. The shower was upgraded with elegant tile and the addition of a practical yet luxurious shower seat. New Exterior Sliding doors: Last but not least, we made a significant improvement to the exterior of the luxury condo by adding new, high-quality sliding doors. These not only enhance the condo's aesthetic appeal but also create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience by providing easy access to a breathtaking outdoor space. This remarkable luxury condo transformation attests to the positive impact of thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship. Every detail of the project reflects our dedication to delivering a comfortable and stylish haven for our clients. The end result? A 2,885 SF wonderland that elevates everyday living and provides the perfect backdrop for making memories that will last a lifetime. We hope this transformation inspires you to reimagine your own living spaces and create the sanctuary you've been dreaming of.

Kid Bedroom in Bronco | Key Feature: A Scottsdale new-build rooted in sculptural modernism, Bronco Revival balances bold black-and-white contrast with organic textures, natural wood elements, and statement lighting. As a groundbreaking “Live Lab” designer residence, it’s a first-of-its-kind space where luxury furnishings are tested in real-world conditions before being introduced into high-profile client homes. Challenge: Because Bronco Revival was the designer’s personal residence, the project carried a unique level of pressure and intention. The challenge was creating a Scottsdale new-build that felt elevated and editorial while still functioning as a true family home. Every selection had to balance bold sculptural modernism (high contrast, statement lighting, architectural furnishings) with durability, comfort, and day-to-day livability. In addition, the home served as a “Live Lab,” meaning new vendors, materials, and luxury furnishings needed to be tested in real-life conditions before being trusted for future high-profile client projects. Solution: We approached the project with a highly curated, test-and-refine design strategy, treating each space as both a finished interior and a real-world evaluation environment. Key furnishings, textiles, and materials were selected to support the modern organic vision while also standing up to the demands of everyday family life. We worked through selections intentionally, layering in bold contrast, natural woods, and sculptural statement pieces, while prioritizing performance materials, pet-friendly durability, and timeless foundational elements. By using the home as a lived-in showroom, we were able to validate what truly performs beautifully, refine our vendor relationships, and confidently carry those proven selections into future client designs. Materials: MadeGoods: Sculptural Davion coffee tables | Loloi: Custom performance rug collection | Schumacher: Bespoke drapery fabrication | Aesthetic Wall Coverings: Pioneering wallpaper application on ceiling beams | Zac + Fox: Exclusive textile collaboration via Made Resource Group | Budget ($ Range): $300K | Timeline (Duration): 4 MONTHS

Eichler X-100 Bedroom: A Private Retreat Defined by Light and Calm The bedrooms of the Eichler X-100 offer a quieter, more intimate expression of the home’s architectural vision—spaces designed for rest, reflection, and connection to light and nature. Conceived by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons for Joseph Eichler, these rooms balance simplicity with thoughtful design in a way that feels both modern and timeless. Minimalism with Purpose The bedrooms are intentionally restrained—free of unnecessary detail—allowing the architecture itself to define the experience. Clean lines, open volumes, and uncluttered surfaces create a sense of calm that feels almost meditative. Every element serves a purpose, reinforcing a lifestyle centered on clarity and ease. Light, Softened and Controlled Unlike the expansive public spaces, the bedrooms receive light in a more subtle way: Skylights filter daylight from above, creating a soft, even glow Carefully placed glazing maintains brightness while preserving privacy Light shifts gently throughout the day, enhancing the room’s tranquil atmosphere This approach transforms light into something quiet and restorative. A Connection to Nature—On Your Terms Even in these more private spaces, the X-100 maintains its connection to the outdoors. Views often extend toward interior gardens or landscaped areas, allowing nature to remain present without sacrificing seclusion. The result is a unique balance: open, yet protected. Integrated Within the Plan Positioned along the home’s central circulation, the bedrooms are seamlessly connected to the rest of the house while still feeling distinctly separate. The layout allows for easy movement, yet maintains a clear transition from public to private zones. There are no long corridors or wasted space—just efficient, intentional design. Comfort Through Design The bedrooms reflect Eichler’s belief that architecture should enhance everyday life. Radiant-heated floors, natural materials, and thoughtful proportions create an environment that is both comfortable and visually refined. It’s a space that supports rest without distraction. A Quiet Expression of Modernism While the X-100 is known for its bold experimentation, the bedrooms reveal a softer side—where modernism becomes personal. These rooms are not about making a statement; they are about creating a sense of peace within a larger architectural vision. In the Eichler X-100, even the most private spaces are designed with intention—proving that great architecture isn’t just experienced in grand gestures, but in the quiet moments of everyday life.

The primary bedroom was designed as a serene sanctuary, blending soft textures, custom details, and a calming palette to create a luxurious retreat from everyday life. Layered furnishings, elegant lighting, and thoughtfully selected finishes bring warmth and sophistication to the space, while architectural millwork and tailored design elements add depth and character. Every detail was carefully curated to evoke a sense of comfort and tranquility, resulting in a timeless bedroom that feels both elevated and inviting—a true retreat within the home.

This Glen Ellyn, IL kitchen remodel showcases an open-concept layout with a sleek kitchen island at its center, perfect for cooking, dining, and entertaining. Custom cabinets provide abundant appliance storage and maximize functionality while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. By blending modern kitchen components, smart storage solutions, and an airy, connected design, this kitchen renovation in Glen Ellyn creates a stylish and highly functional additional living space for everyday life and gatherings.

MOON HILL BATH - WINNER 2013 PRISM AWARD - BEST BATHROOM Initially designed in 1950, an antiquated bathroom was ready for an update. The home, envisioned by The Architect’s Collaborative (a progressive group founded in part by Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius), is part of a community inspired by the modernism movement. Clearly in need of aesthetic and functional improvements, the new renovation stays true to its utilitarian modern heritage. SPACE By reclaiming underutilized closet space from an abutting home office, the re-visioned plan feels more spacious, even with the addition of a deep soaking tub. The new layout also shields the toilet from view when the door is left open. COLORS The harsh yellow tones have been replaced by a warm palette of soft grays and browns. Daylight is refracted through cut glass window art, created by the homeowner. SIMPLICITY Contiguous tile work, carefully patterned, weaves through the space. Simplicity and added storage complete the design by removing the normal visual clutter of a bathroom and offering the reassurance of clean organization. Pegboards inside the custom medicine cabinet create a discrete place for every bathroom accessory. RESULT The final result is a modern oasis with soothing spa-like qualities that offers an escape from frenetically paced everyday life.

This single family home sits on a tight, sloped site. Within a modest budget, the goal was to provide direct access to grade at both the front and back of the house. The solution is a multi-split-level home with unconventional relationships between floor levels. Between the entrance level and the lower level of the family room, the kitchen and dining room are located on an interstitial level. Within the stair space “floats” a small bathroom. The generous stair is celebrated with a back-painted red glass wall which treats users to changing refractive ambient light throughout the house. Black brick, grey-tinted glass and mirrors contribute to the reasonably compact massing of the home. A cantilevered upper volume shades south facing windows and the home’s limited material palette meant a more efficient construction process. Cautious landscaping retains water run-off on the sloping site and home offices reduce the client’s use of their vehicle. The house achieves its vision within a modest footprint and with a design restraint that will ensure it becomes a long-lasting asset in the community. Photo by Tom Arban

Summer in Houston has a way of changing the rhythm of everyday life. Mornings start a little earlier, evenings stretch a little longer, and weekends seem to invite you outside. It is a season for enjoying the city, slowing down when you can, and making the most of the time you have. For those considering Houston high rise condos, summer can also offer a fresh perspective on what it means to choose a home. At The Parklane, life is not simply about living above the city. It is about having Houston's green spaces, cultural destinations, dining, recreation, and everyday conveniences woven into the experience of home. Located alongside Hermann Park in the Museum District, The Parklane offers a setting where summer can feel both connected and wonderfully removed from the pace of the city.

Forest Through The Trees is inspired by our ability to separate all the distractions and noise constantly bombarding us in our daily lives. Forest Through The Trees is to help remind us as a viewer, we must look past the distractions of everyday life to experience life in the purist and truest form. “In order to write about life first you must live it.” Ernest Hemingway quote. Vengerick believes this famous quote to be very true of his work. Vengerick has lived a storied adventurous life and not always the easiest life. But to truly experience life one must suffer at the hands of life from time to time. Hemingway, the highly anticipated 2nd series from Vengerick. This series is inspired by Hemingways love of life travel and drink. The paintings in the Hemingway series our for the view to allow the abstract paintings to wash over them and allow each viewer to experience these masterful works of art from their own perspective. Certain artists have made it impossible to write the history of modernism without them. In the earlier 20th century such towering innovators as Pablo Picasso, “The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” ― John Muir

Drawing from one of the owner's experience as a chef, the kitchen is inspired by a commercial kitchen. Walls of durable metal pegboard embody the project's authentic approach in which the tools of everyday life are displayed as objects, while simultaneously making kitchen utensils convenient to use.

Set just steps from iconic Dolores Park, this light-filled San Francisco home was transformed into a refined urban retreat that balances playful modernity with timeless sophistication. The design centers around clean lines, sculptural forms, and a palette that shifts gracefully from soft neutrals to rich, expressive tones. In the living spaces, layered textures and curated furnishings create an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. Warm wood elements ground the interiors, while thoughtful accents in saturated blues and greens introduce energy and visual rhythm to each room.The kitchen and dining areas embrace simplicity and flow, pairing minimalist cabinetry with bold stone surfaces and contemporary lighting for a look that’s effortlessly elevated. Throughout the home, art-forward details and refined material choices lend a gallery-like calm without sacrificing comfort. Bedrooms take on a serene, tailored sensibility, offering a restful counterpoint to the vibrancy of the city just outside. The result is a residence that feels distinctly modern yet deeply livable—an elegant backdrop for everyday life in one of San Francisco’s most beloved neighborhoods.

This beautiful North Vancouver home belongs to a nature-loving and health-conscious couple, Emma and Vince (names changed), their two young children, and their dog, Jasper. When they contacted us about renovating and furnishing their kitchen and family room, we walked in and saw a world of potential waiting to be uncovered. Before: Larkhall Crescent Home: Like many original North Vancouver homes, the interior was definitely dated. We encountered late ‘80s finishes in powder pink and teal green, old carpet, and a kitchen that wasn’t maximized to suit this family’s modern-day lifestyle. However, the size of the rooms offered us a ton of space with which to get creative. Knowing our clients’ love of cooking, need for work spaces (Emma and Vince both work remotely), and growing family, we developed a design concept that would increase usable space, optimize storage, and create intimacy in this large area. As for the style, we were inspired by their European roots, inventing a new and modern take on “Belgian Farmhouse” style. Now, the home is truly one-of-a-kind. After: Warm & Cozy Family Room: Fresh, bright, and comfortable, this living area has been transformed! We started with the fireplace as a focal point, selecting aged brick tiles for added texture and a crisp wood mantle. The taupe-coloured sectional infuses the room with visual warmth and serves the added purpose of separating the family room from the kitchen. Emma and Vince were also keen on using non-toxic materials in their home, and we were happy to oblige. To meet their needs, we sourced natural wood elements and sought out Canadian-made products - that adhere to high health standards - whenever possible. Look closer at the elements of this space, and you will find this stunning, honeycomb-patterned rug in earthy gold, beige, and charcoal tones. It’s plush to the touch and full of visual texture that brings this room’s colour palette together. We sourced these two-tone chairs with caning, petrified wood side table, black sconces, and botanical prints in greyscale from local artist, Heather Johnston. We topped off the space with this dark wood and rattan console that offers storage facing the kitchen and presents an opportunity to display cherished items. The result is a cozy lounging space brimming with comfort and functionality. It’s perfect for enjoying quality family time, or Emma can simply slide the coffee table away to make room for her morning yoga practice. Now, let’s turn around and give some attention to the kitchen. Do you remember what the original kitchen looked like? If not, scroll back up, because the transformation is shocking… Moody & Welcoming Kitchen for Healthy Living: This kitchen looks very different from how it started, right? Though we didn’t touch any walls, the kitchen has almost doubled in usable space! We created a long, extended island with storage, an outlet for small appliances, and seating for comfortable prep, after-school snacking, or mingling among friends. On the other side of the island, the family has even more storage and an integrated dishwasher within easy reach of the sink, perfect for quick clean-up. From this angle, you can also see the expansive custom Shaker cabinetry in white and the integrated double ovens. These facilitate their cooking experience and gave us the opportunity to add an additional surprise… A coffee garage station and more hidden storage! Keeping these items located along the perimeter allows them to be accessed by the family or their guests without someone getting under the cook’s feet. These are the little details that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. Moving deeper into the kitchen, the seamless induction cooktop topped with a freestanding concealed hood fan commands attention in a soft yet prominent way. The natural wood accent mirrors the fireplace mantle, and the choice of off-black wood-grain cabinets not only continues our black-and-white colour palette but adds a sense of depth and contrast. The corner sink is located to the right and perfectly positioned with a view of their thriving backyard. To invite more of this family’s character into the space, we mixed metals for interest — matte black, dark pewter, and warm brass — and created open shelves in white oak for their plants and decor. You can also glimpse the tumbled edge of the backsplash tile, which echoes the rustic brick of the fireplace. It adds that farmhouse charm while still feeling timeless and sophisticated. Last but not least, we designed this dining banquette in the bay window (with integrated bench storage, of course), where the family can share a meal together, the kids can do homework, or Emma and Vince can work and enjoy a change of scenery from their offices. Like the other spaces in the home, it was designed to be beautiful, multi-functional, and long-lasting. Praise from Our Clients: It is clear that we love this home, but what did our clients have to say? “Lori is a visionary and masters execution to the finest detail all at the same time. When she first met us to know more about who we are and how we live, she could right away envision how we could use the space in our kitchen and living room…The results exceeded our expectations. Lori and her team were also a delight to work with — coordination with all the trades, fast problem-solving, regular updates, professional and friendly attitude of her entire team — made it the dream team. Thank you SHD for making our space so beautiful!” In turn, we are so grateful for this family’s trust, their open communication, and for being wonderful people with whom to work. (So, thank you!)

This condo featured a grand master bathroom space that included a separate water closet and make up vanity space. The later featured a woodgrain wallpaper and the main space features textured wall tiles, exotic wood millwork and luxury lighting and fixtures. Neutral but layered in detail, these space are timeless and and beautiful places to complete the rituals of everyday life.
