From the street, we kept the 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom addition on the top concealed by a simple shed dormer which reduces the impression of bulk and keeps the house looking cozy and comfortable. Wood carriage doors and a recessed front porch given some prominence help create a welcoming street presence. John Wilbanks Photography

Timeless black and white is elevated through subtle combinations in this luxurious master bathroom. Interpreting the client’s vision of a 5-star contemporary hotel, this master bath’s high-end fixtures, custom cabinetry, finishes, tiles, and sophisticated design deliver the lavish amenities and creature comforts this urban professional couple will enjoy for years to come. Multiple cuts of marble, cleverly applied create interest and drama around the bath. Unique waterfall countertops, exaggerated mirrors to bring the outdoors in, deep soaking tub and oversized frameless glass shower, provide the allure of simple elegance and enduring design.

Originally a nearly three-story tall 1920’s European-styled home was turned into a modern villa for work and home. A series of low concrete retaining wall planters and steps gradually takes you up to the second level entry, grounding or anchoring the house into the site, as does a new wrap around veranda and trellis. Large eave overhangs on the upper roof were designed to give the home presence and were accented with a Mid-century orange color. The new master bedroom addition white box creates a better sense of entry and opens to the wrap around veranda at the opposite side. Inside the owners live on the lower floor and work on the upper floor with the garage basement for storage, archives and a ceramics studio. New windows and open spaces were created for the graphic designer owners; displaying their mid-century modern furnishings collection. A lot of effort went into attempting to lower the house visually by bringing the ground plane higher with the concrete retaining wall planters, steps, wrap around veranda and trellis, and the prominent roof with exaggerated overhangs. That the eaves were painted orange is a cool reflection of the owner’s Dutch heritage. Budget was a driver for the project and it was determined that the footprint of the home should have minimal extensions and that the new windows remain in the same relative locations as the old ones. Wall removal was utilized versus moving and building new walls where possible. Photo Credit: John Sutton Photography.

The Tudor style arch on the carved stone fireplace is one of the many found throughout the house. An opulently patterned wool and silk rug from Stark Carpet and a French nineteenth century chandelier add Old-World touches.

The modern Craftsman style of this home is enhanced by strong architectural details like exaggerated corbels, stone and wood columns and a generous roof overhang. The tiered roof line makes the home appear as if it has more than 2-stories.

This cozy guest bedroom features two of our favorite trends: (1) utilizing wallpaper in unique ways, such as here, on a headboard wall alone (2) showcasing natural elements, such as agate, exaggerated here to create a 'wow' impact
